Clannad. Prior to the introduction of elaborate synthesisers and pop elements into their repertoire, Clannad's self-titled debut resonates throughout an ethereal grandeur! On the debut, they primarily committed to traditional Irish music, making slight adaptations to modernise it while still honouring its unembellished essence. The album is a stunning collection of traditional Irish-Celtic folk tunes, and, indeed, it is a pleasure to experience the original sound of Clannad, as this music is far more rooted in traditional folk elements compared to some of their subsequent albums. It should be noted that when Clannad's inaugural album was launched in 1973, Irish music had yet to attain the global acclaim it would eventually enjoy, so Clannad would go on to be instrumental in popularising the genre. With just a hint of psychedelic influences sprinkled throughout, it managed to attain a level of mainstream appeal sufficient for Philips to consider its release, despite concerns regarding the commercial prospects of an album entirely performed in Irish. The radiant hues of the album cover evoke a sunlit reverie, capturing the essence of their ethereal sound and the enchanting beauty of the Irish landscape in summer. Without a doubt, this record stands as a fascinating artefact from the folk-rock scene of the first half of the 70s.
