The times they had...

Hmm... no one's commented on this awesome album yet? Well, let me be first to say: excellent music, crazy-bad album cover. I can't find a suitably hi-res image on teh internets to do it justice, so I'll have to describe it to you:

You are floating in space...
You see a cluster of galaxies and nebulae and whatnot...
Before you appears, inexplicably, a window...
Through the window you see--blue sky...
Silhouetted against the sky is a scrawny, leafless tree...
Soaring over the tree is a curiously bloated space-rocket...
From which flies the flag of... not Ireland...but Italy.

I think there were probably quite a few fans of freak-out psychedelic rock who were disappointed to bring this album home only to find that it actually contained traditional Irish music of the first order. Perhaps we gained a few converts this way?
