Album Review: Pearse McGloughlin & Nocturnes - In Movement

'In Movement' is the second album from Sligo's Pearse McGloughlin. It's an album I've been reviewing in my mind for weeks and after numerous listens I'm able to write this review.

The first thing to clear up is that 'In Movement' is a grower of an album. On first listen there were two standout tracks [Bright Star & Morning Mist] and as time moves on other gems come to the forefront. For instance my favourite song is 'The Lonely Track' which is an 'Iron & Wine' sounding epic folk song with dark overtones and subtly texture. In isolation it's a great song but for some reason struggles to shine while listening to the album as a whole. Another fine tune is charming 'Temps Perdu' with the glorious sounds of autoharp, piano and double bass.

1993[edit] Acts included INXS, Iggy Pop, The Levellers, The Sultans of Ping FC, The Christians, The Shamen, Kerbdog, A House, The Frank and Walters and Chris de Burgh. Unruly behaviour by fans attracted criticism, with 141 arrests, mostly for drug possession, and two rapes reported.[10] The concert reportedly generate…
