"The hiatus years when the band members went off to do their own thing (...) have done Afro Celts a power of good. They recharged batteries, settled a little local dispute with former members, and came roaring back in 2016 with the spectacular "The Source". That renewed impetus sustains them still on an eighth studio album which they describe as their most political work, engaging the Amani Choir, Stone Flowers and the African Cospel Singers an other musicians from Africa and elsewhere to join and unify them in a bold extravaganza exploring stories of migration and alienation in an ever more inflamed and impressive manner ... The centrepiece of a passionate album is an extended 'migration medley', depicting flight, migration and homecoming, but they do it in a soulful, considered manner that fully captures the drama, intensity, thrill and panic of the theme".
