An Lanntair formed it's own record label in 1995 when the centre produced it's first commissioned CD as part of a project to celebrate the organisation's 10th Anniversary.

The recording, which accompanied a major touring exhibition and book, was based on the theme of the Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis - one of the oldest megalithic stone circles in the world. Demand for the CD led to a re-press and the licensing of the recording to Spain and Portugal. The Calanais project won the Scottish Thistle Award for Excellence in 1995.

"Calanais is a worthy tribute to a mystery of creation." - Rock n Reel "The origin of these musicians is diverse, from jazz to Celtic trends, to several folk paths, yet in spite of all that, the album maintains a coherent structure very pleasant to listen to." - Spanish Review
