Mike Scott — Bring ‘Em Ali
In, Chrysalis 1995

Back in jate 1993, Scott
pulled the plug on what had

the

been a pretty decent band for
a while. New York drew him
in, spat him out and he ended
up with answers at Findhorn
in Scotland. The place has
been ground zero for over
three decades now for the
spiritually questing sort who
seek to walk a little more
lightly upon
the good Earth,
His interior
journey, and
the report back
to the worid,
which is what
this solo disc
essentially is
all about,
serves us all
very well. With
Bring ‘Em All
In Scott shares
passion and love and at his
best, inspires us.to rebuild our
own: selves from. the inside
out. Scott returns to the studio
soon to record with a new
band.
