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.

Clannad Macalla CD  (1985)

Legend album
CD $9.39  4 stars
Digitally remastered from original 1/4" master tapes. Features bonus tracks and new remixes. In signing to RCA Records in 1982, Clannad switched gears from traditional Celtic folk to more mainstream-oriented pop. 1985's MACALLA features both pop compositions and examples of Clannad's innovative, reverb-drenched ambient style. The opening "Caislean Oir" is a lush vocal choir piece. The song, ...

Clannad Magical Ring CD  (1983)

Legend CD music
CD $9.39  Top 500
This album recorded by Irish Celtic folk rock band Clannad features ten songs including "Theme From Harry's Game" and "Tower Hill." In the US, the progressive Irish folk group Clannad is best known for two things. The first is being the older siblings of new age star Enya (who was in the group briefly, singing on their breakthrough 1982 album FUAIM, to which 1983's MAGICAL RING is the follow-up). The second is composing one song, "Harry's Game," which became a freak hit in the early '90s after being used in a widely seen Volkswagen commercial. That song, originally written ...

Clannad Sirius CD  (1987)

Legend music CDs
CD $13.59
This digitally remastered German edition contains bonus tracks. In 1982, Clannad made a shift from playing traditional Irish folk music to performing Irish-influenced pop music. This 1988 release is more upbeat and energetic than some of their other albums such as MACALLA (1985) and LORE (1995). Special guests, such as Bruce Hornsby (who sings on two tracks), Maire Brennan, and others alight in a series of dramatic compositions including "In Search of a Heart," "Second Nature," and "Something to Believe In." Clannad avoids overly sappy lyrics or melodramatic musical statements. Perhaps the most loved song on this album, "Skellig" is a song blending Irish mythology with poetic images of ...

CD $11.89  4.5 stars
German version digitally remastered from the original tapes features one bonus remix. 1990's ANAM was by far Clannad's biggest-selling album in the United States for four reasons: 1) "world music" was starting to become recognized as its own musical category, and the Irish group's glossy take on traditional folk fit right in; 2) the album's leadoff single was "In A Lifetime," a pop-oriented duet between Maire Brennan and Bono; 3) this was the group's first album since the Brennan family's kid sister Enya had become an international superstar with 1988's WATERMARK; and 4) and most importantly, the haunting ...

Clannad Banba CD  (1994) Bonus Track; Remastered

Legend album
CD $11.89
Clannad has traversed the timeline of Irish pop music, from its folk and traditional roots to modern synthesized music. The '80s and '90s saw the rise of Irish rock supergroups (most notably U2) and more subtle ambient music artists like Clannad and Clannad's former bandmate, Enya. On BANBA, we hear Clannad's version of what could be broadly termed Irish pop music. Elements of Irish culture and tradition are implicit in the music, singing style, and lyrics. Three of the songs, "Na Laethe Bhi," "Banba Oir," and "Caide Sin Do'N Te Sin" are sung in Irish and revolve around Irish themes, the pop elements emerging ...

Clannad Landmarks CD  (1998) Bonus Track; Remastered

Legend CD music
CD $9.79  4 stars Top 500
2004 digitally remastered, deluxe reissue of the 1998 album. This CD has the bonus track "An Gleann" (Cantoma Mix) and a 12-page booklet with new liner notes and rare photos. LANDMARKS finds Clannad continuing to merge the rich musical tradition of Ireland with lush orchestrations and modern instrumentation. Synthesizers and electric guitars provide an unusual but engaging backdrop to the airy, reverb-soaked vocals of Maire Brennan and the rich assortment of acoustic sounds. The tender Irish language song "Fado" starts with a sparse acoustic arrangement and expands gradually, adding percussion, flute, and Brennan's distinctive double-tracked harmonies, without ever losing its ominous groove. "Of This Land" uses ethereal elements, both sonic and lyrical, to set its exotic, plaintive tone, while the instrumentals "The Golden Ball" ...
