- Actually, according to a blurb I read about Clannad at J&R Music World
- in NYC (at a Clannad display/listening booth for their new album,
- Anam) it stated that Enya is a sister to the Brennan siblings in
- Clannad. I also got the impression that Enya got her start with them
- (although I know she's only on one Clannad album).
-
- After listening to a few tracks I decided to buy the album. Sounds
- very Enya-like, and there is also a track on it that has Bono singing
- (since this thread was originally about Enya and U2, I thought I'd
- mention that). Harry's Game is also on it (there's been a lot of
- mention about that song, recently, also).

- >I'd recommend Sirius as an extremely good Clannad album.
-
- I listened to this album and wasn't impressed. But then, I was
- looking for something that sounded like Enya.
