Banba CD RCA, 74321 13961 2, 1993, 11 Track Amazon.co.uk Though not their best effort, this 1994 release from Clannad is very good. It has a strong pop orientation, tinged with the Celtic influences that have always been a hallmark of Clannad’s music. Those songs where these influences are strongest are also the strongest songs on the album; “Caide Sin Do’n Te Sin” is especially memorable, and “Na Laethe Bi” and “Banba Oir” are strong efforts as well. Of the more pop-flavored material, “Sunset Dreams” and “The Other Side” are probably the best.Banba also features “I Will Find You”, which Clannad recorded for the 1992 film version ofLast of the Mohicans.–Genevieve Williams
