This is a fantastic album! I am Scottish and my husband is Irish, and this album is a winner for both of us. We own many of Phil Coulter's albums, and we were not disappointed with this one. The selection of Scottish tunes on Disc 1 is great. If you are a Glaswegian, you will enjoy "I Belong to Glasgow." A great tune, and not often played on albums. If you are Scottish, your heart will be touched by his rendition of very Scottish tunes. If you are Irish, Disc 2 will have your missing the auld sod. Though this is a "tranquil" album, you will not miss the flavor of "Whiskey in the Jar." This is a wonderful album, very relaxing, very enjoyable. Phil Coulter knows what it is to be a Celt, and he translates this with his wonderful music. The overall character of this album is delightful, relaxing and pleasant. The title is definitely true; it is "total tranquility." He plays all of the tunes you want to hear, and he makes you wish you were there. He is truly a master!

I have just received my copy of Total Tranquility and have been playing all afternoon. I have only one complaint -- the song list order on the packaging is in the wrong order and, not being familiar with most of the songs, I am unable to correctly mark them.

As far as the content is concerned, 'Total Tranquility' is the word. Phil Coulter is a master at lulling the listener almost into a peaceful trance, only to lift one up to majestic musical heights, and then return the listener to a soft calm place of Total Tranquility. I am thoroughly enjoying these 2 CDs.

"Tranquility" by Phil Coulter~ This is a fantastic 2 CD set. One Irish the other Scottish music, love them both. But I think the Irish is my favorite, anyway I find myself playing that one over and over again. Not that the Scottish music doesn't get its time in the player! This is instrumental music that is good for any occasion. With soft ballads, and toe tapping upbeat tunes. You absolutely can't go wrong with this one!!
