An Taobh Tuathail (The Other Side) has been broadcasting the cream of underground music from around the globe on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta/Anocht FM since May 1999. West Kerry native Cian Ó Cíobháin, who has been presenting the show since its very first broadcast, selects the music Mondays to Fridays, 11pm-1am. Last year, Ó Cíobháin responded to demands from listeners to release a compilation of the show's favourite music with 'An Taobh Tuathail Vol. I'.
After the success of the inaugural installment, it only seemed natural to release a sequel. "Much like the first volume", says compiler Ó Cíobhain, "I decided to go down the quieter laneways of modern music. Therefore, once more it's tunes for the head & heart more than the feet, drawing on electronica, modern folk, a touch of Balearic & tunes influenced by classical music. Also, in the vein of Vol. 1, I believe that the compilation makes most sense to listen to from beginning to end, rather than trying to make sense of it as a 'random shuffle'".
The CD features music from international acts such as Murcof, Colleen and Susanna & The Magical Orchestra, tunes from Irish artists Somadrone, Chequerboard & Boxcutter as well as previously unreleased numbers from Mad Theory, Cane 141 (remixed by Heftord) and Ranger 3.
"An Taobh Tuathail Vol. II is a continuation of Anocht FM’s commitment to showcasing new music from around the world", says Seán Ó hEanaigh, head of programming at the station. "We hope this CD will satisfy the show's current listeners and also hope it will attract new listeners to the programme".

Tá An Taobh Tuathail ag craoladh scoth an cheoil ó thimpeall na cruinne ar RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta/Anocht FM ó 1999. Is é Cian Ó Cíobháin, ó Chiarraí Thiar ó dhúchas, a láithríonn ATT gach oíche ó Luan go hAoine, 11pm-1am.
Anuraidh eisíodh An Taobh Tuathail Vol. 1, tar éis d’eisteoirí impí ar an láithrithoir a leithíd do chnuasach a chur ar fail. Toisc gur éirigh chomh maith leis an gcéad ceann, beartaíodh ar diosca leantach a eisiúnt.
"Cosúil leis an gcéad bailiuchan”, a deir an cnuaisaitheoir Ó Cíobháin, "shocraíos ar fhilleadh arís ar bhóithríní ciúine an cheoil comhaimseartha. Arís, is ceol don gceann is don gcroí is mó atá le clos ar an diosca, seachas ceol do na cosa. Tá a thuillleadh rianta leictreónacha, amhráin tire, port Balaíreach agus rianta faoi thionchar an cheoil chlaisicigh le clos ar an saothar. Braithim gur fearr éisteacht leis an diosca ó thus deiridh seachas an cnaipe ‘randam’ a bhualadh ar do sheinnteóir".
Tá rianta ó cheoltóirí idirnáisiúnta cosúil le Murcof, Colleen agus Susanna & The Magical Orchestra ar an diosca, taobh le poirt ó léiritheoirí Gaelacha mar Somadrone, Chequerboard & Boxcutter, gan trácht ar rianta ná raibh eisithe go dtí seo ó Mad Theory, Cane 141 (ath-mheascaithe ag Heftord) agus Ranger 3.
"Tugann Anocht FM lántacaíocht do chraoladh an nua-cheoil ó thimpeall an domhain" a deir Seán Ó hEanaigh, Eagarthóir Stiúrtha Clár na seribhíse. "Creidimíd go mbeidh éisteoirí rialta an chláir fíor-shásta leis an dlúthdhiosca agus go meallfaidh sé eisteoirí nua chun an chláir".
