Celebrate the 40th anniversary of Clannad's 1985 album, Macalla (meaning "Echo" in Irish), newly remastered by Phil Kinrade at Air Studios.
This ninth studio album became their first international success and marked a significant point in the band's career, showcasing a blend of their traditional Irish folk roots with a more mainstream, pop-influenced sound. Building on the momentum from previous successes like "Theme from Harry's Game" (1982) and their award-winning soundtrack for the TV series, Robin of Sherwood (released as the album Legend in 1984), Clannad was poised for a breakthrough in America. Macalla achieved this largely thanks to the iconic duet "In a Lifetime," featuring U2's Bono, which reached #5 in Ireland and #20 in the UK. The album features songs in both English and Irish, including "Caisleán Óir" and "Buachaill Ón Éirne" sung in their native Gaelic.
1985's Macalla is one of Clannad's strongest albums...a well-rounded album of melodic folk pop, infused with that beautiful warm sadness that seems to pervade Irish music and culture.
