Tir Na Nog
Transmissions
Influential Irish prog-folk duo Tir na nOg (comprising songwriters Leo O'Kelly and Sonny Condell) produced three classic alt-folk-fringed albums at the start of the 1970s, then split. 'Transmissions', recorded at the height of their powers, comprises recordings made for radio broadcasts. Using the latest audio technology, Mega Dodo removed the presenter spoken voiceovers to present a more enjoyable listening experience. Side one features six songs recorded in the studio and includes their unique reading of Bob Dylan's 'Maggie's Farm.' Side two was recorded in concert and shows why Tir na nOg was such an in-demand live attraction. 'Transmissions' is confirmation that Tir na nOg was responsible for making stylish, powerful, and category-defying electro-acoustic music. The LP is a limited pressing of 250 copies.
