Good for three quarters.......2004-03-03
When I like Clannad, I really like Clannad. When I don't like them, I really don't like them. On this package, I really liked about three quarters of the music and really did not like the other quarter.
The stuff they've done with traditional Celtic and Gaelic music is great. I could listen to songs like the Theme From "Harry's Game", Nil Se Ina La, Caislean Oir and The Poison Glen a thousand times and still enjoy each one.
However, the new age-y 80s and 90s stuff like Sirius seems horribly dated.
That aside, if you don't have any Clannad albums and you like some of their stuff, this might be a good place to start.
Great compilation!.......2002-10-24
A GREAT DEAL !.......2002-09-15
Enough of these collections already!.......2002-08-07
They already had like 6 collections plus there was the Greatest Hits that was put out a couple of years ago and numerous collections too. This anthology offers nothing new. It's time for some new material and new album!
Clannad is an incredibly talented band with powerful tracks but all these collections and samplers is becoming extremely redundant plus it diminishes the power of their songs too(in my opinion).
This anthology is everything I already have! END OF STORY!
A gathering...not much magic........2002-07-05
Let's make something clear. Clannad are not a hit machine. They have had a few hits in Europe and a few flukes in America considering soundtracks and such. But you won't find them performing at this year's MTV awards. So why all the hits albums, hmm?!
Ok let's start...CLANNAD LIVE was released in the 70s as a compilation of early tunes live. (Really, why hasn't Clannad done another live album since?)
Then around the mid 80s K-Tel releases THE CLANNAD COLLECTION...a hits album. Which includes music from the 70s to mid 80s.
Then in 1989 they released PASTPRESENT. A collection of their music of the 80s but including two new tracks "The Hunter" and "World of difference". A worthy hits package this!
Then in 1992 to prmote the re-release of THE CELTS by Enya and the US release of ANAM a promotion CD was released...FAMILY TREE. Although it was not comercially available the CD was interesting as it featured Maire's solo stuff, Clannad and Enya.
Then in the mid 90s they released ROGHA:THE BEST OF CLANNAD which featured music from the 80s...yeah.
Then there was AN DOLIAN a collection of 70s music and then there was ULTIMATE COLLECTION and then, and then, and so on and so on! Sheesh! Oh yeah and then they released A MAGICAL GATHERING which features 70s,80s, and 90s with a rather nice informative booklet which is why I gave it three stars.
Except for LIVE and PASTPRESENT none of these albums offer anything unique from the band. No rare tracks, demos, live songs............nada! So Clannad, I love you but please put out a new album...your hits CDs are starting to stack higher than your albums!!!
