Review - Amazon.com :
Clannad's particular mix of Celtic, pop, and ambient styles is in fine form on this album, with no lapses in performance. They're as smooth as ever, and they should be after so many years together. While their more pop-oriented songs, such as "Court to Love" and "The Golden Ball," are pretty but unexceptional, Clannad really shines on the more traditional songs. These include the fast-paced, heavily rhythmic "A Mhuirnín Ó," the sorrowful "The Bridge of Tears," and the smooth, relaxed "An Gleann," which is the most successful blend of pop and traditional styles on the album. Máire Brennan's voice has never been more beautiful or controlled, and Landmarks is a fine effort all around. --Genevieve Williams

- Interesting variety of styles and moods
This album shows an interesting variety of Clannad's music and how much their music has changed over the years. I have several of their traditional albums and pop/rock albums, and this album has songs with a special style that kind of stands out in a way. The were the songs, "Fado", "A Mhuirnin O", "Of This Land", "The Bridge of Tears", and "Loch Na Cailli" that sounded very Celtic. There were some songs that sounded more like pop, such as "An Glean", "Court of Love", and "Autumn Leaves Are Falling". "Golden Ball" was an interesting combination of Celtic, jazz, and pop music. "Let Me See" stood out in a way because it is hard for me to describe it's style. One thing that I find interesting about this album is that they have done better in this album to have traditional influence than on any of their other pop albums. It used uillean pipes and low whistles, which gave it a traditional touch. It also used high-tech synths, which provided an interesting style in their sound. There were also many moods, like the soothingness of "Fado", the haunting beauty of "Loch Na Cailli" and "Of This Land", and the sadness of "Bridge of Tears". Maire had quite a bit of influence in the music, since two songs were written by her and she co-wrote one song. "A Mhuirnin O" went to a beat similar to that of "Against The Wind." Her Christian influence was noticable in "Of This Land" and "Let Me See." Overall, I must say this is a very good album. It has Celtic, pop, and jazz styles, soft moods, and many different influences.

- For everyone who loves good music!
Clannad is a genuine Irish band, well known for their haunting music that is a mix of traditional Irish and modern pop and jazz styles. (As a footnote, the popular singer Enya got her start with Clannad!) The music itself is hard to categorize - would you like to call it New Age, or Easy Listening? Well, it's sort of both, and really neither. This is great music, relaxing and thoughtful, almost religious in tone.

I love this album, and enjoy playing it just about all the time. I highly recommend it to everyone who loves good music!

- A pleasure to behold....
One of my favorite albums. Wonderful, emotional blend of voices and instruments. I continue to be impressed by Clannad's exceptional, diversified musical talents: keyboards, string instruments, wind instruments - all employed with a gifted understanding of balance. The tracks complement each other, as they blend perfectly from one to the next. This album would make a friend of Clannad to anyone.

- Landmarks
I love Clannad and hearing this album won the 1998 Best New Age Grammy Award is definitely a great honour for this band. Landmarks is a great album and I find A Mhuirnin O to sound very similiar to Against the Wind. Very soothing and beautiful, a must have for all Celtic fans!

- Clannad is great
I got my first taste of Clannad when I heard "I Will Find You" sound track in a movie that I don't recall. I missed the credits and was instantly on a search to find who the band is. Turns out to be Clannad. I then bought Banba. I loved it and still do. It is the BEST Clannad ever put out. Then bought Anam. Another fine peice of work. Landmark is, well, ok. Nevertheless, I give it 4 stars. I love Banba the best. I think it's the nostalgic memories I had listening to it. Good work.
