Big Country are a rock band from Dunfermline, Scotland, popular in the early to mid-1980s but still releasing material for a cult following. The band were notable for music heavily accented with traditional Scottish folk and martial music styles, as well as for playing and engineering their guitar sound to resemble the bagpipes, fiddles and other traditional folk instruments.
The title track, The Seer, featuring the guest vocals of Kate Bush, is a standout, with its sweeping melodies and emotive lyrics. The album as a whole reflects Big Country’s ability to create expansive, atmospheric soundscapes with the use of bagpipe-like guitar tones.

While not without its commercial success, the album is often celebrated for its artistic merit, contributing to Big Country’s legacy as a band that skillfully blended rock traditions with a unique sonic identity.
