Must-have for any true Big Country fans - and everyone else


Nevertheless, until I found this disc I had never been able to find the Restless Natives soundtrack anywhere. I will preface my review by noting that when I bought this cd, I was able to find it for about 1/3 of the nearly $100 price-tag I see today. Well - you get it here, plus a multitude of other great tracks. Right after I got it, I listened to it non-stop for weeks. Great stuff!.


Restless Natives, best soundtrack!
" It's well worth it just for this alone. I love this soundtrack to the movie "Restless Natives. I wish they had produced more soundtracks like this in their years. I suppose they still can, but it just wouldn't be the same without Stewart, may he rest in peace. I love this soundtrack! I just wish the movie were available on DVD in the US.


Finally stumbled on a Diamond!
This is a gem and as soon as you turn down the lights, rip the top off a McEwans extra and skip to track 6 on CD 1 you will be transported to another place , I had to wait about 25 minutes until the passage came in and although there is a different , instrumental rendition early in track 6 the version with lyrics is the best, Adamsons voice sounds the best it could and better than any other song I have heard of BC, worth the search. I stumbled on this one,I knew it was out there on the web but never really expected to be lucky enough to find a CD store owner with enough old fashioned common sense to actually have one in stock, I really bought it for the title track which I had on very old 12 inch vinyl. Other stand outs are Äll fall together, (also released as "giant" on a B side but with no vocals), On the shore, plus many others. If you see this available here, grab it QUICK!
Thank you.


As good as anything they've done
If you liked anything Big Country has done then have no fear buying this, its all good. This is really good. In the liner notes it claims that some of the songs have an "unfinished" feel to them. If anything I think thats a plus. As much as I like Big Country I sometimes thought were a little overwrought. The songs here show that Stuart Adamson and co can write really powerful songs, and just let those songs speak for themselves. Its a little mellower and more cheerful than some their early stuff, and I still haven't heard a better rythmn section than what Big Country kicks out! These guys fill the valleys and shake the hills!.


This is a must for all die-hard fans
"Restless Natives" will put you "alone upon the hills and snow" and will guide you "through summer sun and winter snow" where the "eagle was lord above". I bought this CD collection because I absolutely have to have every Big country album ever made. If you are a big fan of BC you will LOVE this CD.
