Landmarks

CD Details

Landmarks is a 1998 album by Irish group Clannad that weaves together Celtic, pop, and ambient influences into a cohesive atmospheric experience. The band balances more traditional material with contemporary pop sensibilities across the album’s instrumental and vocal tracks. Máire Brennan’s vocals shine throughout, particularly on pieces like the rhythmic “A Mhuirnín Ó,” the melancholic “The Bridge of Tears,” and “An Gleann,” which successfully merges folk traditions with modern production. The group demonstrates the polish and consistency that comes from decades of working together, creating an album suited for reflective listening.

This CD was released on the Wea/Atlantic label and includes ten tracks spanning from the opening “An Gleann” through “Loch Na Caillí,” with a runtime that showcases both instrumental pieces and vocal performances. Notable selections include “Fadó,” “Of This Land,” “Court To Love,” and “Autumn Leaves Are Falling.” Purchasing this used copy lets you experience Clannad’s atmospheric blend of styles at a fraction of retail cost.
