5.0 out of 5 stars as near to definitive as possible, May 3, 2002

This review is from: A Magical Gathering: The Clannad Anthology (Audio CD)
A Magical Gathering: The Clannad Anthology
~ Clannad has created a unique mix of traditional Gaelic sng, contemporary folk,jazz,rock forms. This double album takes the listener through a guided tour of their studio albums to date and some live material. While cross licensing allows for a complete overview of their career this package is a finely honed reminder of what Clannad has achieved in their 30 plus years together. The whole gamut is there from traditional Gaelic balads to contemporray arrangemnts of traditional songs and their own material which veers into moody film score soundtracks and a synthesis of Celtic/Pop/Rock in tracks like Seanachas and Chroi Croga. As an introduction to Clannad's music this cant be beaten nor can it be faulted on its wide angled view of their musical development.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT DEAL !, September 15, 2002
By 
roger l treece (Hamilton Alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Magical Gathering: The Clannad Anthology (Audio CD)
This album comes with 2 CDs.Disc 1 has 16 songs on it and disc 2 has 18 on it.A total of 34 songs!..thats a very good deal.True most of these songs are on their other albums but everone might not have all of their albums.This also comes with a neat little bonus.A 42 page book-let with lots of pictures and the biography of the band including some on Enya.Speaking of Enya,track 12 on disc 1 features her on lead.You can hear how her voice has matured over the years.If you already have all of their albums then there is no point in getting this one.If not,then this album will be a great deal for the money.

This review is from: A Magical Gathering: The Clannad Anthology (Audio CD)
Having just discovered Clannad, this set was an absolutely fantastic find for me. It's got a great mix of modern and more traditional sounds. If you already own several Clannad CDs, you might find that this mix contains a lot of songs you already have, but if you're just discovering Clannad and Irish music, than this is a GREAT place to start.
