- Well Folks, it looks like I inadvertently answered my own question
- after I posted my note when I went out to buy a Clannad album.
-
- I am a big fan of Enya and I just recently was introduced to the joys
- of the internet, and noticed a lot of mentioning Clannad in the same
- breath with enya. I was curious to see how similar Clannad sounded
- to Enya, so I went to my local Tower Records and bought _Anam_ (I
- probably would have bought something else, but it was all that was
- available when I went in.) . It seems that you can add the opening
- section before the concert of U2's live at Red Rocks to the growing
- list of things that use Clannad's "Harry's Game" as background music.
- It's interesting to think I had the seeds of Clannad planted in me
- before I even knew of them...
-
- Not minutes after I realized this, I decided to call around
- to see if any other stores in my town carry Clannad, and found the album
- that "Harry's Game" originally appeared, _The Magical Ring_ (on Tara
- Records) and a few others. I found an album that was dated earlier
- than _The Magical Ring_, called _Dulaman_ (Gael-Linn records: CEFCD
- 058) and I like it a lot better than _Anam_! More traditional stuff,
- with intruments that do not require plugging in. It's a wonderful
- album, highly recommended by moi...
-
- Just wondering, are there any other albums that pre-date _The Magical
- Ring_ besides _Dulaman_? My disc sez _Dulaman_ is dated 1976, and
- _The MAgical Ring_ is dated 1982. I figure since I answered my own
- question I thought I'd toss another question your way...
-
- Thanks,
- Serge
