With AN DIOLAM, John Crosby of Folk Roots Magazine compiles music from one of Ireland's most popular groups to show the band's traditional folk roots. Together with the Chieftains, Clannad defined the international and commercial possibilities of traditional Irish music for the last quarter of the 20th century, in the 1980s contributing to the development of Irish folk rock, new age, and ambient music (and spawning the solo career of one of their singers, Enya).
On AN DIOLAIM we hear the depth and breadth of Clannad's roots. Assembled from the very best of the band's groundbreaking recordings for the Gael-Linn record label, it includes a variety of folk based tunes with lyrics in Irish Gaelic. Perhaps the most beautiful song on AN DIOLAIM is the love ballad, "Siuil A Run." There's a heartwarming, bouncy jig, "The Gaitee Hunt," and finally, the exquisite "Oulaman" is sung in a rich and expansive canonistic style.
