At one point in the mid-1970s, Horslips bidded to be Ireland's answer to Steeleye Span. They also had a shot at being the next Jethro Tull, Genesis, or even Yes in its folkier moments. 'The Book of Invasions' was originally released in 1977, subtitled, 'A Celtic Symphony', was, like 'The Tain', inspired by Irish mythology, this time the story of Tuatha De Danann's conquest of ancient pre-Christian Ireland.

Book of invasions
Disc came with packaging for the disc. The quality of the music is excellent. The time it took to arrive was sooner than expected. It was shipped from over seas. The disc had some bonus live tracks.

Pure Genius!
The mix of traditional Celtic melody with the heavy thump of a Rock beat give a whole new dimension to Irish music & to Rock music too.
