Customer Reviews of Anam
Quite boring, in my opinion This is the first (and only) Clannad album I bought. I was and still am a big Enya fan, so I decided to try her sister's band. I was disappointed by this album. Lots of lousy muzak stuff, with lush production and not much else that is memorable. "Poison Glen" is nice, though.
I guess I bought the wrong Clannad album, judging from the other reviews here. Maybe some of the earlier stuff would be more to my liking.
A turning point in the career of Clannad
Although Anam isn't my favorite album by Clannad, it is certainly a far cry better than the average reviewer has judged it! Let's settle something first..if you want to hear gritty lively Irish hoofin' music...then no...this album is not for you...but then Clannad have never been about dancing really. A lot of their sound is atmospheric but Clannad are also eclectic...this album goes from ethereal to pop to folk to jazz...
Certain tracks stand out:
"Ri na Cruinne" is a beatifully arranged song for the voices of Clannad...it's rhythm meanders around their harmonies amd makes a perfect entry for this albums journey.
"Anam" which means "soul" shows off Maire's celtic harp and the angel end of her vocal range.
"In Fortune's Hand" is a rather fast paced song...showing Clannad is not a one trick pony. Very driven, the song has a mean hook!
"Poison Glen" is just a tale told thru song.
"Why Worry" shows a developing interest in jazz...probobly the best song on here...very unique...before this song Clannad had not really gone this far in a jazz sound yet. An earlier song "The Hunter" seems to have forshadowed this sound.
This album shows an amazing maturity and growth that would fuel later albums like Banba, Lore, and Landmarks. Working in a music store I have recomended this album to many customers who came back for more...so I believe this is a nice intro for a later era Clannad.
As far as my favorite albums by Clannad go...well... it would be Banba, Macalla, Landmarks, Lore, Anam and Dulaman, this is out of the 18 Clannad CDs I own so you see...Anam really ranks high!
This CD Has Soul!
Many tracks including "Poison Glen" transport one into another more soulful world. What a fresh sound this band has...unlike any other. Vocals from the lead singer are the strength of the group.
