5.0 out of 5 starsThank the Dutch for this CD!
By Amazon Customer on May 4, 2005
Format: Audio CD
This CD is a definate 'must have' for any Clannad fan. This first album was originally released on vinyl in 1973. Sometime after it's release, and before the CD era, the master tapes were either lost or destroyed. After Clannad gained worldwide recognition and popularity (around the time of "Harry's Game"), this record became a very scarce, and highly sought-after item. I searched for years before locating this record in Canada. Then several years ago, a small independent company in the Neatherlands got their hands on a pristine vinyl copy of this record, cleaned up the scratchy vinyl sound electonically, and printed a limited number of CD re-issues. The 13th track on this CD was a vinyl single release that was added to this CD as a bonus track, and did not appear on the original 1973 record. The sound quality of this CD is amazing considering that it was mastered from a record, rather than from master tapes. I'm grateful that someone put forth the time and effort to bring this album back into existence...not only because I consider it to be one of Clannad's best, but also because they reincarnated Clannad's very first album that most of us would never have had the chance to hear!

5.0 out of 5 starsA beautiful and interesting first album
By stardustraven on June 30, 2002
Format: Audio CD
This album, originally released in 1973, was Clannad's first offering to the world. Already on this first album Clannad made its mark (at least in my opinion). As the band's name indicates, Clannad (which means family), was comprised of one sister, Maire her brothers Ciaran, Paul Brennan and their twin uncles Noel and Padraig Duggan (Paul would later leave the group to pursue a musical career of his own). Certainly an intensely Irish musical family and their joy in making music together is evident throughout.

This first album displays all of the strengths which characterize their work in general: - Maire's ethereal and hauntingly beautiful voice, perhaps Clannad's most powerful musical asset. The harmonious choruses of Maire and the men which pave the way for later songs like 'Theme from Harry's Game'. And she's in glorious voice here. - The wonderful and sparkling interplay between the various instruments. - Clannad's unique brand of interpreting traditional songs and pieces and creating their own distinctive sound. With the exception of 'Liza', 'An Phairc' and 'Morning Dew' all other songs and instrumental pieces are traditional. No lyrics or translations are included, there's only a short note by Colin Somerville. For more information I consulted a website dedicated to this group.

Personal favourites here were: the rousing 'Nil Se Ina La' or the song of the drinking nomad, the wistful 'Thios Chios Na Tradomh' about a seaside graveyard, the instrumental and sombre 'Brian Boru's March' which was written to commemorate the Battle of Clontarf (1014) in which the Irish succeeded in repelling the Vikings but lost Brian Boru, the lovely song about a mermaid and her mortal love 'An Mhaighdean Mara', Maire's beautiful and playful duet with one of her brothers (?Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsClannad's Roots
By J. L. Shipp on June 29, 2002
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I have been a long time fan of Clannad, and I was excited by the re-release of their very first album. This album has 13 tracks and contains a plentiful selection of Traditional Irish songs.
By the sound quality of the album, you can tell they were in the infancy of their career.
At this point in their career, as the insert puts it "Clannad had scarcely scanned musical horizons beyond their home territory of Gweedore, Donegal, but hindsight hints at a group gently threatening to evolve into much more than lusty interpreters of traditional tunes."
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Clannad are excellent musicians and bring a lot of passion to songs that have been performed by many before them.
They have a haunting childlike presence. They are playful and treat these traditional songs as if they were angels.
Each song glows with a deep warmth.
If you ever wanted to visit Ireland but could never afford it. This album gives you the heart of Ireland in the purest and chronicled form.
There are many instrumentals on this album but this only serves to set up the exquiste vocals Maire Brennan lends to the remaining.
This CD is a must have for any serious fan of Clannad.
I give this album 4 stars out 5 only because the quality of transfer is sketchy. However, I am sure that by this date and time the master tapes are kind of worn in.

4.0 out of 5 starsSome early Clannad you might not have heard before
By L. Barstow on October 14, 2011
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Because this album has been so hard to find for so many years, many Celtic music fans probably have not had a chance to hear this first Clannad album. Like Clannad 2 and Clannad in Concert, this album contains largely traditional music, though there are a couple of modern tracks included as the band early on experiments with rock and jazz sounds. This album is raw, pure band performance - almost nothing in the way of the extensive processing that characterizes the band's later albums, and there's a definite sense that this is the band's first album.

Still, the contents of the tracks are well worth the purchase, especially if you are a collector of Celtic songs.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood album to round out my collection
By Steven Whitehead on February 2, 2012
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I had every Clannad album except this one. It definitely shows that this is the beginning of their recording career as it is not as polished as their later albums. If you like Clannad you will like this. It is not my favorite but was worth buying to complete my collection.... Now to get all of Maire Brennon's albums....

Clannad's first album may be a bit scratchy. But this was recorded in 1973 or so, so of course equipment back then probably wasn't as good as todays. Read more
