So
here it is, the first collection of 'Best Of' tracks by DunRungle,
each taken from one or other of the seven splendid albums the
band have produced over the last decade and a half.
This is,
of course, a 'Best Of' with a difference. As suggested by the
title, the songs have been 'Re-Dun', tweaked and changed here
and there to make them a little more interesting.
Here is a excerpt from the introduction
in the Re-Dun complimentary booklet, which comes with the purchased
copies of
the album. Cheapskates who merely download the tracks won't get
the booklet, of course, but these are the words of the famous
Norwegian Celtic Scholar, Prof Skigersta Kornerunitssen.
' “Re-Dun” is big retrospective
containing newly recorded versions of songs from their pre-digital
back catalogue (“Vom Your Sproggans” through to “Beyond
The Clisham”) when band had crap instruments and had to
record on an old 4-track Portastudio. Now Dun Ringles are old
bodachs (old men) so can afford proper gear, and Portastudio
gone off to òcrach
(rubbish dump) seeing Jason has state of the art digital recording
facility in spare bedroom at Grimersta studios. '
Recorded in high quality digital format, some 'Re Dun'
tracks are available for download, so load up your iPods and
enter the world
of DunRingle's 'Re Dun' where old ideas are given a coat
of fresh musical paint for your aural delectation.
