Moving Hearts reunited for live shows, live album and DVD
The reformed and revitalized Moving Hearts released their
new album and first DVD ‘Live In Dublin’ on
Rubyworks on 2nd November 2007.
Recorded at Dublin’s Vicar Street during The Hearts
sold out four – night stand in February 2007, ‘Live
In Dublin’ captures some of Ireland’s finest
instrumentalists at the very top of their collective game.
Percussionist Noel Eccles says: “There’s unfinished
business! When we last played it was as an instrumental band
and we always felt we hadn't finished exploring the possibilities
of our unique line-up".
Focusing on material from their classic, genre – defying
1985 album ‘The Storm’, the new recording is
a remarkable document; a testimony to fantastic musicians
playing music which is unmistakably Irish in origin, but
is immaculately imbued with jazz, world music and rock ‘n’ roll
references.
The audio release is in tandem with a separate DVD release,
which contains the whole concert and is directed by award
winning Irish film-maker Philip King; as well as a bonus
documentary on the history of Moving Hearts and exclusive
backstage footage.
Moving Hearts are one of a handful of truly legendary and
influential Irish bands. These new releases show them to
be a vibrant musical force for the twenty-first century. |
