Christian and Homay, you've done your usual bang-up job of convincing me that I have no choice but to buy yet another Spitfire library. And that Spotify playlist - wow! So much music I already love and some absolute gems I've slept on. I haven't listened to Lau for a while and I'm now wondering why on earth not - such a talented trio. I love this idea of sharing playlists of inspiration - more please!
Loooooove this library! It really speaks to my heart as it celebrates traditions and in the same time taking them to a new place! Thank you Christian and all the team at Scotland and Spitfire for this lovely and special product. You lighten up my life as a composer! ❤️
I love the way you can hear Christian's various experiments over the past year in this library -- not the exact sounds, but the vibe, the feeling, the approach...
You guys are absolutely wonderful and thank you for all the stories behind the creation of some of these sounds. Great job!!!
Just want to remark on the generosity and quality of the wonderful people behind Spitfire Audio! Not only have they been producing breath-stealing libraries of incredible beauty for years, providing industry defining tools at very affordable prices and inspiring thousands of composers and musicians of all ages to foster their creativity, their individual members are also some of the best and most generous educators available.
I love ur stuff :) good luck on the release
It's like, "What if The Witcher universe was a plugin?", and I'm into that.
Amazing. Your collective passion is inspiring.
Sounds great. Love the fact that it's on Kontakt too!:)
Hildegard Von Bingen would approve of this spitfire library!
Sounds great guys! Good work!
Thank you for including one of my tracks (Hawk- Snakes of Russia Rework) in your Inspiration playlist
Awesome Sounds! Well done, well presented
I pray this leads to a whole suite of so called "ethnic" instrument libraries from Spitfire. Need more of the solo instruments and more ancient sounds to add to our traditional orchestral sample libraries. There is a myriad of possibilities to get really creative with them!

UVI World Suite 2 is excellent as well. But I agree we can always use more ethnic instruments from Spitfire Audio!
Woah. Sounds amazing.
Been looking forward to an 'alt contemporary' albion, kinda UIST-y but less specialist. Guess I won't have to wait years like I guessed! :D
Wow, such a treat! I can't wait to own this! Thankyou so much! I'll keep my head down working till I can afford this. 🛠️⚡
I’m in love with this girl 😻
Good thing my birthday is coming up! Now I have a good excuse to buy this library
Superb! Flexibility. LOVE the contact mics on the strings!
Wow that guitar and string stuff was amazing
I need this so much!

This library has made me reflect on what the world was like, before Spitfire Audio and Christian's KZread presence entered my life, and I can't imagine it any other way now. I own so very very VERY many libraries, samples, and instruments, but the SA team is by far the most impressive force to enter the game, ever. Such amazing concepts, execution, and humanity built-into their catalog. Thank you thank you thank you!
Spitfire, you just made my dream library come true. I can't afford it right now, but I will buy it in the future for sure. No 1. on my list.
Snakes of Russia is an incredible artist, and a great source of inspiration for many!
This looks amazing time to save and as soon as I will I know it will go up.. this has potential to be the best release from you guys
Here we are!
Downloading now... And the time slowed down 🤣 Can't wait to go thru all these sounds!!!
loving the droney bits
Awesome concept!
So stoked with this.
Damn! It's amazing, it sounds so natural and emotional!
@6:10!!!! That alone is worth buying the Lib! Great job spirfire family. From Los Angeles
I don’t think I need to say well done my friends! I can’t tell you how I’ve been longing for a library like this. I love being truly authentic, sensitive and true to human emotion. It’s why I love horror, avente-garde and folk like music in my music. I love the orchestral sound of John Williams and James Horner dearly and I will continue to write with an orchestra but the beating heart of my composer voice is the imperfect, emotional voice of people. I cannot wait to get my hands on this library and heavily put it in my template!! Thank you Spitfire!! Well done.
Another really great Albion!
I just remembered that today's my birthday :p This stuff really sounds awesome, the textures and characters of sounds, in the cart already (Probably for black friday sale XD).
Wow 😲 I was more impressed by the new atmosphere, committed from the studio and of course the design for the new instrument. Super cool, super modern. And the 2-person show is something much more interesting.
This sounds amazing. A great presentation as well. Just as a side note, can you one day do an in depth tutorial sort of thing with the EDNA engine? I tend to get a bit lost on Albion One with it.
Well done you guys and Congrats all at Team Spitfire. Good luck to those attempting to name the glorious “Mic Lineup” Cheers…..ff
Let's go guysss!!!
I must admit that for the longest time, I just didn't "understand" this library. As in, what could I use it for? It seemed both hyper specific AND vague at the same time... But I randomly thought of this library yesterday in the context of a project I'm working on and suddenly it just "clicked"! Now I can't wait to someday get my hands on it! 😄
Exciting
Really nice!!
FANTASTIC !!!!!!!
12:08 slaps so hard... It reminds me a lot of the soundtrack for Pathologic
I arrived (fashionably) late to this. Had to go out for my Covid jab, get back, load up the live stream, first thing I hear is “it’s good for quiz shows” …Thought I might be having side effects from the vaccine, when I heard that 🤣 Will definitely have a deeper look into this one. The few sounds I heard so far sounded amazing, and the demo tracks on the product page are awesome as always. Some of those sounds would have been useful on the last project I did. Great stuff Spitfire!
The library Ulver needed before they moved onto Synthpop. Can't wait to hear this in a myriad of of epic folk metal productions I'm sure!
Indeed, sounds like a good source for cinematic scoring. A lot of work went into this.
Always happy with what I get Christian from the team there.. Love my new Abbey Road stuff and also my thing is really the more EVO and odd ball stuff you chaps do there-:). I'll try and tune in tomorrow
Spitfire Audio Team you are insanely good! You can not work as much as you spontaneously want to spend money. 😰😂🤣 This all sounds unearthly good again, thank you very much! Also a huge thanks to all the creatives who made this product possible! 🙌
My god that piece around 13:00… can’t wait to dive into this

I'm so happy that this was recorded in a small space. The intimacy of the instruments really comes through.....Well done!
How many hours do you work in a day - it is impossible to produce all this AND compose music as well! You had me at Gaelic, pagan and medieval, and although it is not really the sound set I will use, it sounds fantastic! Wonderful job all of you👍👏🎶
Bought it!
Christian -- when are you going to write that game show cue?? ;) You two had fun, which is great to see. BTW - awesome library!
Evocative stuff.
Brilliant sounds! What are you using as a fader controller on top of the Komplete keyboard?
That is sweet.
I'm becoming increasingly more comfortable with that feeling you get making a purchase before finishing the video! haha. This looks like such an inspiring toolkit, and I'm so excited to get stuck in. Working on a project over the next few months, and can already see/hear the potential for using this library - Thanks for this Christian - excellent!
I haven't seen In The Earth yet which came out last week, but I think this would have been perfect for it!
Way to tease us with that mic collection
The best marketing guys out there ..with best libraries ..god know how you do it!!

Whilst the library is incredible, this walkthrough with Christian and Homay is quite brilliant. Their different intuitions towards the library keep hitting those beats where you think "yeah I know what to do with that!". The DPA close strings are going to be worth the price alone as I'm often mixing those from live shows and having something to do 'patches' with will be great,
I was skeptical about this release, but this is amazing.
Just what I thought. The perfect folk library.
yay
When times are challenging for all peoples we turn to our roots to rediscover our souls. Timely and so appropriate.
Amazing video, I was think of buy-in it to compose Celtic music, thanks a lot for that presentation. One question : Someone can tell me what is the machine they use to modulate the sound with their keyboard ? Thank you very much y'all.

I Simply just love you guys. Spitfire Audio is without doubt the absolute best choice for any mucisian, grat or small. I read about 2-3 lines about the library before i threw it into my basket and Harriet on out to checkout. Now it`s just downloading and installing before i`m ready to go.
Take my money ❤️❤️

Feels like a Bigfoot horror doc. LOVE IT.
Getting myself ready to be eating pot noodles for the next year so i can afford to get this 😁😁
Looking forward to adding this to my Albion library and using it the same way it wasn't intended .
whats that midi expression controller on top of komplete keyboard ??! does anyone know??
Will hold from tonight's orchestral purchases... I've search the land and have most off-center mystery world libraries. Now, what will the new ALBION bring, what will the Spitfire Demiurge bring about.... there goes my July vacation....
wow
What were the answeres to the the question about what microphones they had on display?
Homay is such a treasure.
So who won the microphone competition? I was thinking there would be an announcement. I'm dying to know what that serial number was. :)
28:20 post apocalyptic. Nice
Snakes of Russia's music is insanely good. He's also just an amazing and talented human and freind as well 😊

As an owner of every Spitfire library since Albion One, I hope you put more effort into an original library both in content, and in usability. The last few have seemed more like repackaging of old libraries, than anything new or original. Your libraries have definitely been slipping further down my list of first choices in my projects.

What is that controller for left hand on native instrument keyboard?
I’d love it if you’d do taster/starter/intro versions of these large products or maybe offer some of the instruments individually with a path to upgrade. I can imagine using some of these wonderful sounds in my productions but I’m not a media composer so it’s hard to justify the cost without a commercial project to fund it. Lovely work by you all at Spitfire, looking forward to hearing the soundtrack Christian.
What is the device that they are pushing faders up and down on their upper left?
So as an addition to Albion series, will this library now be included in the Albion Collection?
