They have the *largest* Celtic music record selection I have seen anywhere, and I'm sure if they don't have the record (Alan Stivell's recordings are usually in stock there) they can get it. They've imported a number of records that otherwise would not be available in the US. If you're ever in the area on a Sunday, it might be worth stopping by. They sometimes have local musicians playing in the kitchen.. -- Bill Swan {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,...}!uw-beaver!tikal!persci!bill

I bought that record and then gave it away -- the big orchestra and weak rock accompaniment were simply too EZ for my taste. Furthermore, there were no Celtic vocals. Absolutely the least interesting Stivell I've ever encountered. And ~$12, too... Stivell has released the most stunning authentic Celtic folksongs in simple authentic arrangements I've ever heard. Unfortunately, I have no idea which albums to get. But his Breton is quite beautiful. Penaos e ouzer n'eus ket tud o vevan~ war al loar? -michael
