Album Notes
Clannad: Maire Brennan, Enya Brennan, Paul Brennan, Ciaran Brennan, Padraig Duggan, Noel Duggan.
Recorded at Windmill Studios, Dublin, Ireland. Includes liner notes by Paul Wexler.
1982's FUAIM--pronounced "foom," and meaning "sound"--is a defining album for Clannad. The Brennan siblings, having made six previous albums of fairly traditional Celtic folk, here went into something largely different, combining traditional-style Irish folk melodies with expansive, largely electronic arrangements heavy on lush, drifting keyboard sounds, odd percussion and heavily-reverbed overdubbed harmonies.
The youngest Brennan sister, who would later achieve worldwide fame as new age songstress Enya, makes her only appearance as a member of Clannad on this album, singing lead on two Gaelic-language tracks, "An Tull" and "Buaiereadh An Phosta." One can only wonder how influential she was in the group's change of direction, as the ideas first explored here are the ones which define her later solo albums.
