The Waterboys’ eighth studio album was originally released in 2003 and is now available on vinyl for the first time!
It is the most nakedly spiritual of the band’s records, all the more so for having been mostly written and entirely made in the spiritual community at Findhorn. At the time of release, band leader mike scott described ‘universal hall’ as “a record containing eleven spiritual songs that articulate – to the best of my ability – the vision that drives, challenges, sustains and transforms me.” This vision is explored in now-classic Waterboys numbers such as ‘Peace of Iona’, ‘the christ in you’ and ‘universal hall’ itself. One track, the Celtic-flavoured ‘I’ve lived here before’, was written with Liam O’maonlai of hothouse flowers. The album also saw the return of the band’s fiddler Steve Wickham, his first appearance on a Waterboys’ record since ‘room to roam’ in 1990.
Tracklisting:
This light is for the world
The christ in you
Silent fellowship
Every breath is yours
Peace of Iona
Ain’t no words for the things I’m feeling
Seek the light
I’ve lived here before
Always dancing never getting tired
The dance at the crossroads
e.b.o.l.
Universal hall
