Spirit - Nature’s Way
This tune is just incredible. It sounds like a very understated guitar alongside the electronics.
I don’t think many other of her songs, or the Knife’s songs, have that.

When Winter comes its time for Emancipator.
Doug Appling was 19 years of age when he produced this.
There’s a fair bit of guitar on their debut album, Reindeer for example.
Who knows though with them. I was hugely into Silent Shout the year it came out (fucking more than a decade ago), and it was years before I found out she did all the vocals. Always assumed he did the male sounding parts.
Smashing closer tune on the above there and one for the RTE GAA montage makers to note.

Great song.
Canice was a great auld front man.
Early-mid 90s was golden era for Irish music
What a song
May as well throw My Little Funhouse up there as well to complete this theme of Kilkenny Rock Bands from the early 90’s. These lads probably went closer to making the big breakthrough than the other two, got signed by Geffen Records, were being touted as the next Guns n’ Roses and even supported them at Slane in 92.
Strange to see three rock bands come out of the same rural town around the same time and all of them having a reasonable level of success… There mustn’t have been a hurler among the three of them!

Engine Alley were alright, nothing to write home about. Infamy was a much better song
