Dance to the Holy Man is the third album by the Scottish band the Silencers, released in 1991.[2][3] It peaked at No. 39 on the UK Albums Chart.[4] The first single was "Bulletproof Heart", although its release was delayed by the Gulf War and RCA's concern about the song title.[5][6] The band supported the album with a UK tour.[7]
The album was produced by John Leckie, Mark Wallis, and frontman Jimme O'Neill.[8] Its songs were written by O'Neill, who also painted the cover art.[9][10] JJ Gilmour joined the band during the recording sessions.[11] "Bulletproof Heart", about returning to Scotland from London, is a version of a song O'Neill wrote with Fingerprintz.[10][9] The rhythm track to "Robinson Crusoe in New York" was in part supplied from a recording of a sputtering taxi cab engine.[12]
