Description:
The meeting was inevitable: Celtic music's mystical nature, with all its druids and runes, made it a natural draw for practitioners of New Age, with their crystals and dream catchers. Armed with a solid upbringing in traditional Irish music and a mastery of contemporary pop and New Age styles, Clannad has spent decades mixing the music of their own past with sounds from throughout the globe, using modern touches to hold it all together.
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" and "Loch Na Cailli" are astoundingly varied sonic journeys, truly showcasing the masterful musical chemistry of Clannad.
