Anam
(1990)

by
Clannad
With the release of Anam in 1992, the Irish family act, with more than a dozen albums and 20 years behind them, had been pared to a quartet. Saxophonist Mel Collins spices things up on the jaunty "In Fortune's Hand," but most of Anam is slower and softer, mixing keyboard-based ballads with more folk-inflected tracks. Maire Brennan's voice is a ...

The Celtic Circle
(2003)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
The term "Celtic" covers a broad sweep of music, from the traditional to new age, and this compilation seems intended to offer selections from all areas -- though with a slight emphasis on the new age end rather than music with a deep history. To that end, there are plenty of sweeping synthesizer chords, aching vocals, and rich, ethereal harmonies ...

by
Clannad
Pastpresent is an anthology spanning five Clannad albums from 1982 to 2003. The full range of the band's styles are presented here, from the gorgeous a cappella song that opens the album, to slick pop/rock, acoustic guitar ballads, Irish folk strains, and sophisticated power pop crunch. Along the way, we are treated to a lyrical harp and flute ...

Greatest Hits
(2000)
more music like this
by
Clannad
It seems odd that RCA would release two different single-disc best-of compilations covering Clannad's 1982-1989 recordings, and odder still that there would be so little overlap between Rogha: The Best of Clannad and Greatest Hits (only about seven tracks out of 18-19). Perhaps it's that the newer Greatest Hits volume concentrates on their more ...

The Best of Clannad: In a Lifetime

by
Clannad
With over ten different greatest-hits collections to choose from, Irish legends Clannad seem poised to surpass their number of full-length releases. RCA's Best of Clannad: In a Lifetime is a fairly standard overview that touches on fan favorites, collaborations, and songs from films, once again omitting any material from their first four -- ...

Macalla
(1985)
more music like this
by
Clannad
1985's Macalla is one of Clannad's strongest albums. The songs are mainly mid-tempo or slower, and combine the poignant beauty of Irish balladry with the immediacy of a rock band line-up. Traditional Irish instruments come and go, along with touches of sax and on "In a Lifetime," soulful guest vocals by fellow Irishman Bono, of U2. Macalla is a ...

A Magical Gathering: The Clannad Anthology
(2002)
more music like this
by
Clannad
As a survey of the first quarter century or so of Clannad's recording career, this double-CD compilation is intelligently selected and annotated. It draws pretty evenly from the various phases of the group's lifespan, from their most traditional folk-based albums in 1973 and 1974 to the slicker rock, pop, and new age-influenced sounds that gave ...

Clannad
The families that make up Ireland's Clannad have been at it for over three decades. Siblings Moya (Máire) and Ciaran Brennan and their twin uncles Padraig and Noel Duggan have been the heart and soul of Clannad since the 1970s. (The latter three members have been together since the band's inception in 1970.) During this long tenure they've ...

Themes

by
Clannad
There's only so much passion you can wring from a collection of film and TV theme songs. The cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" (from the Blake Edwards movie Switch), all cuddly synths and dewy vocals (Maire Brennan duetting with Paul Young), is very pleasant. Of marginally more substance is "Ancient Forest," from the British TV series ...

Clannad
This collection at least attempts to chronicle Clannad's various stages through the years. Unlike K-Tel's The Celtic Voice, which merely sampled two of Clannad's early albums, Celtic Collections offers selections from several albums beginning with Dulaman (1976) through Anam (1990). While this release includes a preponderance of their more modern ...

Released in 2004 to coincide with St. Patrick's Day, Greatest Irish Bands accounts for most of the usual suspects, though often with their highest-profile songs (most of which disregard their Irish roots). The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" and Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey in the Jar" do show a connection to these bands' distinctive homeland music, ...
