Advantages: Beautiful music. Disadvantages: Not every tune is top class.
This album is an absolutely glorious collection of emotive, powerful tunes by the great Irish band, Clannad, including all of the greatest hits by that band, such as 'The Theme from Harry's Game'.
There are many spellbinding tunes, such as 'Skellig', 'Something to Believe In' and 'Almost Seems to Late to Turn'. These songs enrapture the soul and move one greatly with the soulful singing and powerful instrumentation. 'Robin- The Hooded Man' is also on this CD, which was an immense success and came from the album 'Legend' which won a BAFTA, the first Irish band to ever do so. Thus, you can see the quality and originality of their works perfectly in this CD.
The band is primarily folk, originating from Ireland and at first focusing on traditional folk music, however, later on in their career, the band moved towards pop music whilst ...
Advantages: If you are new to Irish Folk music then this is the one for you! Disadvantages: If you already have some of Clannad's other work you may already have most of this compilation.
(2002)
The latest release featuring all of Clannad's best songs on two CDs. The music ranges from traditional Celtic to folk to their modern New Age Celtic sound that's made them famous. Three decades of material that includes a 43-page full-color booklet filled with pictures, notes on the band and discography.
St. Patrick - The Irish Legend [SOUNDTRACK] (2000)
The movie was great. And now you can get the movie that is composed mostly of music by Clannad. Anyone who's seen it and heard the music will tell you how enrapturing this film was.
An Diolaim: Folk Roots of One of Ireland's Groups (1998)
This is the album that got me hooked on Clannad. It's a wonderful compilation of some of their old and new material on one CD. My favorites include: "Two Sisters" and "Eleanor Plunkett."
Lore (1996)
This album mystical, dreamy, mood ...
Advantages: excellent easy listening Disadvantages: I cant find any!!!!
Clannad includes Maire, Moya and Ciaran Brennan and others include Bono, Bruce Hornsby.Clannad was one of the first Irish bands to attempt to get into ambient music. On this album THE GREATEST HITS, we listen to some of Clannad's best-loved songs, including the "Theme from Harry's Game." This song,was written for a popular BBC television program, Harry's Game which is probably Clannad's most moving, haunting composition, although some may say there are alot of choir-like vocals on this album.
This album cover lots of 1982-1989 recordings. It's very cheap to buy with some wonderful harmonies to listen to and enjoy and comes from aband who have been a active family band now for 30 years or more in this time they have recorded approx 16 albums all listened to and loved by many . I'd say give it a listen I'm sure you'll love it . It seems ...
Clannad: Maire Ni Bhraonain (vocals, harp); Pol O'Braonain (guitar, vocals, bongos, flute); Ciaran O'Braonain (guitar, acoustic bass, vocals, piano); Padraig O'Dugain (guitar, vocals); Noel O'Dugain (guitar, vocals). Includes liner notes by John Crosby. With AN DIOLAM, John Crosby of Folk Roots Magazine compiles music from one of Ireland's most popular groups to show the band's traditional folk roots. Together with the Chieftains, Clannad defined the international and commercial possibilities of traditional Irish music for the last quarter of the 20th century, in the 1980s contributing to the development of Irish folk rock, new age, and ambient music (and spawning the solo career of one of their singers, Enya). On AN DIOLAIM we hear the depth and breadth of Clannad's roots. Assembled from the very best of the band's groundbreaking recordings for the Gael-Linn record label, it includes a variety of folk based tunes with lyrics in Irish Gaelic. Perhaps the most beautiful song on AN DIOLAIM is the love ballad, "Siuil A Run." There's a heartwarming, bouncy jig, "The Gaitee Hunt," and finally, the exquisite "Oulaman" is sung in a rich and expansive canonistic style.
