		The fantastic precision of Nature's work in building up the basaltic columns on Staffa is due to the steady cooling of flows of lava as they came into contact with a colder bedrock and were exposed to the even more chilling effects of the weather of northern Scotland on the outer surfaces.
		Staffa attracted the attention of many of the great figures of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
		Staffa consists of three layers of rock of different types, covered with a surface of rich soil and lush grass.

		In the dark, however, Staffa soon lost the fleeing man. He sat down to rest on a stone; the run had taken all his energy, and he needed to catch his breath.

		Staffa watched as it rose to half way up the stones, then most of the way, and finally it exited the valley created by the two stones and entered the free sky.

		The songs are a tribute to the diversity of the scene, capturing the thunder of Earth Crisis' "Biomachines," the poignant storytelling of Ashley Cox on "Stupid Newlyweds" and the guitar-driven passion of "Sunny," This Afternoon's visceral modern-rock anthem.
		Staffa definitely delivers material for the hard-rock crowd, with the roar of Earth Crisis' Karl Buechner opening the disc and the ultra-heavy Godbelow chiming in with "Rehearsal for Tragedy." Yet Staffa also presents much lighter fare, including pop rock, singer-songwriters and even a jam band.
		Staffa's hodgepodge also succeeds at achieving a relatively smooth flow despite the schizophrenic nature of the material.
