A new version of the "Riverdance" album featuring Anuna, from the hugely successful stageshow, was released worldwide on November 6th 1995 through Celtic Heartbeat/Atlantic Records. The show has been continuously evolving and the new album reflects these changes. This new version includes some brand new tracks and the "taps" of the dancers being added to other tracks. Previously unavailable tracks now on the new album include "Shivna", "American Wake (The Nova Scotia Set)", "Home and The Heartland" and "The Harvest". In addition three of the tracks now include the hard shoe taps performed by the dancers - "Reel Around The Sun", "The Countess Cathleen" and "Riverdance".
