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.

Clannad is one of those groups that people discover.....and wish they'd known of them years before. But it's not too late to catch up! Superb songs, superb singing, superb musicianship, audiophile grade recording. I believe that Moire Brennan is Enya's sister? Anyway, Clannad's music is more approachable, more traditional, than Enya. But just as mysterious, deep, and alluring. It draws you in and takes you away from a world full of problems to one we can only aspire to. Take a vacation....in your own living room. Landmarks is as good as anything they've done. Start here.

Fans of Clannard will not be disappointed with this album. The magical tones and vocals invoking magical forestry images, lifting the listener to a nether world of endless possibilities. The vocals and music create rich imagery in the listeners mind and genuinely transforms the listener to that of a spectator. So creative, energetic and restorative!

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.

My first exposure to Clannad was "Love and Affection" from the "Anam" tape. It was playing in a store, and I kept going back in to hear more. I bought the tape and I was hooked- I'm a fan for life now. From there I went to another tape by Clannad, then Enya-- you get the picture. Hopelessly devoted. My kids used to tell me I could listen to something other than Clannad. (I do- I listen to Enya and Walela, too.) I bought "Landmarks" when it first came out, and again I'm blown away by Clannad's fabulous talent. Their music is something I never tire of.
