2.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but not as good as "Long Distance", February 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beat Drum (Audio CD)

This is a good selection of great songs by a great band. But (apart from the fact that this CD is a cheap cash-in on their success by their former record company) if you are looking for a good overview of Runrig's songs, you'd do better to look for a copy of "Long Distance", which contains a selection of songs by their own fans, and which is sanctioned by the group itself. It lacks two or three songs from this album, but adds many more great ones, seventeen in total. "Beat the Drum" misses several, like "Alba" and a live rendition of "Skye", that moved me a lot.

3.0 out of 5 stars not as good as long distance, August 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beat Drum (Audio CD)

most of the runrig c.d.'s are individually better than this as it IS an easy way for the record company to make extra money from the band. There is a new c.d. out now with the new lead singer, Bruce Guthro, a French-Canadian. He has a superb voice and complements the band. BUY IT !!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Record Company "Cash In" on success, January 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beat Drum (Audio CD)

This album is purely a cheap cash in by Chrysalis records and has NOT been sanctioned or approved by the band. The tracks are re-releases of the band's first three singles with Chrysalis and as such are owned by the record company. The record company are trying to make money from the Runrig name by selling old material from their archives now that they have parted company from Runrig. There is a NEW ALBUM due from Runrig at the end of February so save your money and wait for the new album with the new lead singer Bruce Guthro.
