"Banba" may take a while to grow on you, depending on which Clannad "sound" you like most. This album has a greater number of commercial-sounding tracks on it, but the sheer vocal and instrumental artistry lifts them out of the ordinary. Elevator music they're not.
Styles vary quite a bit, from the ghostly instrumentals which seem to ebb and flow without discrete note on tracks such as Na Leithe Bhi and I Will Find You, to the rhythmic drum line and driving electric guitar work (yep!) on Struggle (which I often skip) - it's still Clannad quality though. There's the calmer almost country-sounding Sunset Dreams, and the bright but not dominant saxophone work on There For You and Soul Searcher.
There are only three songs in Gaelic - Na Leithe Bhi, Banba Oir, and the haunting bilingual Caide Sin Do'n Te Sin - but they make up for this with some Mohican lyrics in I Will Find You!
Standout tracks for me are the rhythmically sparkling Banba Oir, the hypnotic and compelling Mystery Game, and the simple but memorable Soul Searcher.
The only difference I was able to detect between this Remastered version of the "Clannad" album and the standard one is that there is an extra track of "I will find you" at the end of it. It is very pleasant, but it is simply a variation on the original song. This version of this album was somewhat difficult to actually find and order. Truthfully, I don't know that I would do it again. I love the album, but I suppose I hoped that all of the songs would have been remastered.
"Sunset Dreams" is one of the very most beautiful, most moving songs I have ever heard. For me, it was worth it to order the entire remastered album just on the mere chance that there might have been something that might have enhanced my enjoyment of this one song. There wasn't, but I'm glad I ordered it anyway.
This is an excellent album. Every track is a gem. The added new track not on the original album, the remix of "I Will Find You," is quite different from the original track used in "Last of the Mohicans," but it is just as good in its own way.
banba is definately one of clannads best albums,it is a perfect chill out listen,no weak songs and the bonus track on the remastered version,this cd is better than anam and landmarks in my opinion,a great introduction to clannad if its your first buy,also try Macalla and Magical Ring two more great albums by this band.
Even though the CD has been out for quite a while, I was very impressed with the music...loved the voices, the writing and the music. I could listen to it over and over again.
自分にとってクラナドの曲は好きな曲とそうでない曲の差が大きいのですが、このアルバムでは半分以上気に入っています。 特に、「Caidé Sin Do'n Té Sin?(おいらはおいら、ひとはひと)」 。この曲はモイヤの他、オーラ・ファロンによる歌唱も好きです。 クラナドの曲で最も好きなのはアルバム「Past Present」に入っている「Coinleach Ghlas An Fhómhair(刈株の緑野)」。いつ聴いても感動します。
Nachdem ich in den 90ern das Landmarks und Past Present Album hatte und dann das Lore Album als nicht so gut befunden habe, war jetzt 20 Jahre nichts mehr mit Clannad. Durch Zufall bei You Tube gefunden und dann mal durchgehört , und da war er wieder der Clannad Sound den ich so mag. Sofort die CD bestellt. Spotify reicht da nicht.
