Nádúr is Clannad's first album of new material since 1998's Grammy winning Landmarks, and the sees the full original line-up – siblings Moya, Ciarán and Pól Brennan and their twin uncles Noel and Pádraig Duggan – back together on record for the first time since the 1989 album Past Present. It is a fitting title for the coming together of this legendary Celtic family band; Nádúr is the Gaelic word for Nature.
Nádúr is a very natural progression to the Clannad sound, which since the 70s has been to fuse the traditional with the modern, the past and the future, with stunningly beautiful results. Nádúr marks a forty year recording career which has seen such hits as “Theme From Harry's Game”, “In A Lifetime”, “I Will Find You” and the soundtrack to the Robin of Sherwood TV series.
Review:
“Clannad became synonymous with Celtic new age in the late 1980s and '90s.
Adding layers of sometimes ethereal, sometimes majestic-sounding synth pads and
drum loops to traditional instruments and electric guitars, the band became a
signpost for other acts during the Celtic music boom at the end of the last
century and the dawn of the new. After winning a Best New Age album Grammy in
1998 for Landmarks, the band took an extended break. They issued a live album
in 2011, but Nádúr marks their formal return to studio recording after
15 years away. These 13 tracks – ten originals, two traditional Gaelic
tunes, and a Scottish air – meld Irish music's heritage with contemporary
jazz, electronic new age, and soft pop and rock. While many acoustic instruments
adorn these songs – mandolas, penny whistles, bodrahns, harps, and acoustic
guitars – so do electric six-strings, fretless basses, synths, and subtle
loops adding edges and unsderscoring the band's mastery of textures to frame
their melodies. While Nádúr breaches no new terrain, it will prove a welcome
return for Clannad's international legion of fans.”
