					<description><![CDATA[According to the information sheet that comes with the music SPRIGGAN MIST is a band from Bracknell in the UK that plays Progressive Rock/Folk. If you then open the homepage of the band, you will see that they categorise themselves as a Pagan Folk Rock band. Well, let me put your mind at ease, they are both right. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The songs on “III - Candles &#038; Beginnings” themselves are not bad at all, if this is the kind of music you like. They have all been composed and played in a good way, giving room to all the instruments as well as the multiple layers of voices. If you ever need a respite from the heavy and loud noises of your Metal addiction, this might be a good antidote.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“An Chailleach” is a fairly subdued endeavor across a very long stretch of terrain. Some interesting guests, but they fail to add much energy. If you are a die-hard Joy Shannon fan, then you must partake. If you’re just looking for Pagan Folk, you can probably find something more interesting.]]></description>
