LEGEND contains musiuc composed for the BBC television show "Robin Of Sherwood."

Clannad started out like many traditional folk bands of Ireland; its early material for Gael-Linn Records could be considered traditional Irish folk, and most of the lyrics were in Irish. However, the band's signing to RCA Records and its 1982 hit "Theme From Harry's Game" catapulted it to the top of the UK pop charts. Most importantly, Clannad was one of the first Irish bands to truly delve into ambient music, an idiom that may be the modern counterpart to the traditional slow air.

This 1984 release finds Clannad at the height of its career. LEGEND is essentially the soundtrack to the television show, ROBIN OF SHERWOOD, and opens with the theme music, "Robin (The Hooded Man)." Other songs such as "Herne" and "Now is Here" retain the ambient (soaking wet with reverb) sound, though the theme for "Lady Marian" harks back to more traditional harp music. While the '80s synths are dated-sounding, most of the music here represents Irish pop at its finest.

Digitally remastered from the original 1/4 inch master tapes. Includes bonus tracks & new remixes. Booklet has extensive sleeve notes by Stuart Bailie & rare photos.

German remastered reissue features bonus tracks and remixes.

Recorded at Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin, Ireland and Trident Studios, London, England.

Clannad: Pat Duggan (vocals, guitar, mandola); Paul Brennan (vocals, guitar, flute, tin whistle, keyboards); Ciaran Brennan (vocals, guitar, synthesizer, double bass); Noel Duggan (vocals, guitar); Maire Brennan (vocals, harp).

Additional personnel: Pat Farrell (guitar); James Delaney (keyboards); Paul Moran (drums); Frank Ricotti (percussion).

5 stars Clannad's Musical Tribute to the Legend of Robin Hood
With the standard Clannad ethereal vocals and backgrounds Legend stands out among TV fare music. Though not your typical Clannad subject, this product produced for the TV series "Robin Hood" is excellent.

5 stars A Unique Collection for Clannad
I truly am a longtime fan of Clannad and have practically all of their albums but my most favorite is this music collection. It was recorded as a soundtrack to a British television series about Robin Hood and the songs are ballad in format and are very dramatic and story-driven. It's a highly entertaining change of pace and well worth the listen.
