Let us not forget the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. This album always makes me think of the salvation He made possible for those who simply believe. The gift of grace, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Awesome album!
AMEN!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
As overtly Christian music, perhaps it is inevitable that this album won't get anything like the exposure it deserves. But it contains some wonderfully haunting, beautiful, well written and well played tracks - that have stood the test of time. So wonderful to be able to come back to this album after so many years after when I first heard and bought it. An outstanding classic in the annals of "progressive" Christian discography.
❤
💯 agrre!!!
Like all truly good things, the attention to such a pure thing never lasts like the supposed genuine celebrity marriages😅😢
What most people don't understand is the Christian Music Industry from the 70s and 80s and 90s was the left of center leaning sect of Evangelical Christianity until it became way Corporatized so I stopped listening after mid 90s. I used to work in Family Bookstore in the 90s and when I recommended this album, some people were really confused and thought it was "new age music" because it wasn't the Amy Grant/Steven Curtis Chapman type Nashville stuff that was predominant in that industry.
I'm curious as to why you would call this part of "progressive" Christianity. Please explain, thanks.
One of the most outstanding albums of all time!
Agreed!!
And one of the most outstanding bands of all time !!
Absolutely in a row with the greatest progressive bands of the 70ies, but almost unknown.
What an absolute masterpiece of faith and musical ability.
Iona was always way ahead of their time and in some ways I believe that they are still ahead of their time ... Praise Yeshua for this beautiful deep worship albums !!! Thank you Iona we Love you always !! 👍🙏 My favorite is Heavens bright sun ☀️
Iona - my favourite spot on this miserable earth!
Not only were the members all amazingly talented, but Jo's voice to me, has always been a shining light of hope... She never felt the need to make her voice conform to that horrible machine that is the pop music industry, with all it's growls, hip-singing etc etc. I just adore her pure vox...
Jo's voice, so pure and sweet, capable of welling up emotion, and the tears!
I know people have to move on at times but it actually hurt me when this group broke up...
100% Agree.
I worship God as I listen to this album.
Very beautiful. I love the album and the powerful expressions of faith.
My mom has played the Iona album ever since I was born. I am glad to have this music in my life.
Ive been listening to Iona for 30 years and have never gotten tired of them
@@allensantee1591 I'm just getting started with this amazing band. My gratitude to What? Records is undying.
Very Christian and spiritual album. Musically and message are awesome. Mathew the man is a master piece. Love it God bless you all from Seattle wa US 🎶🎵🎶❤😉👌👌
I have this album, I wore it out, I hope in the future they will rerelease it again 🤟❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Check their website, it’s been rereleased with a bonus disc!
@@jawspinkid Thank you !
A M A Z I N G..... Had forgotten just how incredible this album was.
I just lost my dear Mom. To think she is worshipping like this. I have loved their ministry for years. You wont hear pure EXCELLENCE on the radio! Thank you Iona.......❤❤
Saw them live at Greenbelt first. This tape was always a go-to in the car, but really picked up special meaning when on a trip to Mull and Iona. Very atmospheric stuff! Saw them again at a packed Band on the Wall in Manchester, where they successfully recreated the exact same atmosphere-in a smokey club! Consummate musicians, one and all.
Love this album,such a masterpiece,my wife and I bought it back in 95 with some money we recieved from our wedding,deep and powerful,one time I was sitting listening to it in my car and my daughter who was about 4 at the time was in the back seat and I heard her crying and I looked around and she had tears streaming down her face and I asked what's wrong and she said this music is so sad😢,bless her heart,it must have really touched her spirit.
One of the most outstanding albums of all time!
One of the best voice I ever heard and the piece just is marvellous!
A good friend brought this CD with him on a visit last Saturday..
After three tracks, I was ordering a copy online!
It is that good!
Like Clannad on steroids!
Every track is fantastic.
I love that comparison with Clannad. Clannad, though I love them, and even went to see Maire (Moya) Brennan in Massachusetts, are kind of categorized in the media as world/celtic. I love how Iona blends the traditional, with the prog/rock, as you say, Clannad on steroids!
Amazing and blessed! Thank you guys for such incredible music..all the time I return to it and can not drink enough. Return it to Spotify, please 🙏
I heard this when a friend told me i had to listen to it before i could return it. Rarely, am i given a "must" listen or read, for that matter, that i enjoy. BUT, WOW, 30 years ago i played this in my car and sat in my car in my garage to finish it before i could get out of the car. I could tell you that the music and words were important to me because of all i was going thru or that i was less than 2 years old in the Lord but the truth is i had never heard "Christian music" that was so ...this...! I forgot the name of this work but the algorithm of youtube gave to me the suggestion of watching something about the Kells, and instantly i remembered," that's the name of that album...!" So many favorites. Thank You Lord for your gifts including music, you are Blessed and you alone are Worthy of our praise and thanksgiving and worship.
The end of the last song "Eternity - No Beginning, No End" makes me think of how it will sound when all of us believers walk through the gates of Heaven. All of us utterly amazed and overwhelmed by what we're seeing and experiencing.
Takes Me Away From This World, Like A Place We Only Know
I loved this album when it came out. So glad I've found it again as it's not on Spotify
Oh wow, this takes me back. Excellent album.
Oh wow. Been a long time since I heard this album. Thank you for posting!
love this album, thank you
Mind-blowing album
with NICK BEGGS on Bass Guitar.... Masterpiece Album !! 😍😁
and the awesome David Fitzgerald!
Pure and beautiful
I had the rare privilege of seeing Iona live in New England, back in the days of this albums' release. For this album, the story goes that the band went to see the wonderful illustrated manuscripts of the Book of Kells, and in meditating on the historical context of these monks' dedication and faith, were inspired to write these songs.
1:11:01 the sound of the legends we read as children. The echoes of heroes of the past.
It is criminal that such a masterpiece is no longer available for sale.
89; WHY?
check their website, its been re released i think!
Wonderful and timeless 🎶✨🙏🕊️
Your lyrics are pure poetry--and 100 percent from the heart. "Here's my life, I hold nothing back from you." And I ❤ how you address your cry to Our Lord as "Master of the Waves." The music fits perfectly, too. It reminds me of Tori Amos, Leslie Phillips (The Turning), and Rich Mullins (song called 52:10), even Joanne Hogg from the band Iona.
Winter, in front of an open fire, watching the flames, listening to this album...one of the best.
Love this album , thanks for putting it up
What an incredible creation !
this cd is fantastic who can ask for any thing els richard
I haven't heard this in probably almost 20 years. It's so bizarre how I forgot the music until I heard it again and it starts coming back. I did remember the recurring bells from the last track. Interesting how that stuck with me all this time.
One very underrated X artiste is Iona!
Classic
Awesome album!!
A masterpiece!!!!
It just doesn't get much better.
Thank you! Thank you!
This is their best and unfortunately missing on Spotify
Spotify is the death of artistic freedom - be grateful the artist respects their audience.
@@gollumei Iona has most of their albums on Spotify. Whether or not one supports the business model of Spotify, they do have albums I would not have access to. Mark Heard and Larry Norman for example. Spotify was mostly demonized because of the Joe Rogan association when people wanted to cancel him during Covid. Taylor Swift's criticism that Spotify doesn't pay enough for the artists is up to debate because the music industry had already changed and most people were using Napster and Torrentz to download music for free prior to streaming services. I've discover artists on spotify that I would have never discovered on my own. Royal Blood, Fionn Regan, etc. How well do the other streaming services pay the artists?
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!1
Simply superb no matter how many times you listen to it.
This album grabs my soul . In a crazy world a moment of calm
one of my old time favourites!
A classic no doubt. They used to play it in Kwik Save (very random)
Or should I have said..........Kwik Saved mwahahahaha
Would be surprised if I heard this in any supermarket.
@@markhull2172 yeah it was surreal!
…and branches of B&Q. Spoke to Dave Bainbridge about it a few years ago, and it transpires a short extract was used on a ‘mixtape’ sent out to supermarkets and the like…. WITHOUT the knowledge or consent of the band. Shocking!
@@steveredstone9187 yes I heard it in a lift once!!!! very pleasant ride up
Oh porfavor que banda,toco mi alma,😯🎸🇨🇷
🇨🇷🙏Excelente
The most captivating, mesmerizing music ever!
Most beautiful voice ever.
Solo puedo dar gracias a Dios por este disco 😢
Outstanding
Her voice lead us to ancient times.
It's GREAT!
