Clannad started out like many traditional folk bands of Ireland; its early
material for Gael-Linn Records could be considered traditional Irish folk, and
most of the lyrics were in Irish. However, the bands signing to RCA Records and
its 1982 hit Theme From Harrys Game catapulted it to the top of the UK pop
charts. Most importantly, Clannad was one of the first Irish bands to truly
delve into ambient music, an idiom that may be the modern counterpart to the
traditional slow air. This 1984 release finds Clannad at the height of its
career. LEGEND is essentially the soundtrack to the television show, ROBIN OF
SHERWOOD, and opens with the theme music, Robin (The Hooded Man). Other songs
such as Herne and Now is Here retain the ambient (soaking wet with reverb)
sound, though the theme for Lady Marian harks back to more traditional harp
music. While the 80s synths are dated-sounding, most of the music here
represents Irish pop at its finest.
