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, interpreted much like a Renaissance chant--with a distinct Celtic flair, of course--resonates with deep emotion. "Closer to Your Heart" and "Almost Seems (Too Late to Turn)" are particularly memorable. The electric guitar solo on the former shows off the superb skill of special guest Anton Drennan. Maire Brennan's vocal comes across as particularly inspired as she sings, "time will heal all your troubles away." But MACALLA's most moving song may be "In a Lifetime." U2's Bono sits in on this track, contributing an extremely passionate vocal performance.
