Disco de Clannad: “Celtic Collections”
 Descripción (en inglés) :
Yes, believe it or not, CELTIC COLLECTIONS is on K-Tel, which changed its image in the '90s from tacky compiler of haphazardly edited hits collections to a purveyor of budget-priced but sympathetically constructed anthologies featuring relative obscurities amidst the expected hits. Clannad's entry in K-Tel's CELTIC COLLECTIONS series is a good overview of this underrated Irish folk/new age band's career up to 1991.
<p>It covers both their early days playing traditional Irish folk music and their more experimental and eclectic later period, when the family group--the group's core members are the older siblings of Irish chanteuse Enya--combined their folk roots with wafting electronic keyboards and heavily overdubbed, reverbed vocals. "Harry's Game," a surprise hit due to its use in a Volkswagen commercial in the early '90s, is both the pinnacle of this style and the collection's leadoff track. This is a fine, inexpensive introduction.

- Good music by Clannad but collection number ...
This collection of Clannad is just one of the many collection albums that are available of Clannad. It has been one of the first collection albums, which has been re-released several times.
It contains both songs from Clannad earlier period (before 1982) and there second period (between 1982-1991), which means it includes both tradional folks songs as the more pop oriented songs like "In A Lifetime".
The music itself is very good and gives a good introduction into Clannad's music before 1991.
- Originally Released in 1987
My wife and I travelled to Ireland in November of 1987 and bought this album on cassette to listen to in the car while travelling the countryside. It has been a favorite of ours ever since. A wonderful overview of their music through 1987.
Although this release has a different cover it is the same collection of 13 songs, in the same order, as the 1987 cassette.
