About The Record:

Macalla, by Clannad, became prominent with a collaboration between Clannad's singer Moya Brennan and U2 vocalist Bono on the duet In a Lifetime. Furthermore, it featured some internationally renowned artists such as art rock saxophone player Mel Collins, an ex-King Crimson member and famous for his solo on The Rolling Stones' Miss You, and Anton Corbijn's photography. The album's title is Irish for "echo". Two of its songs are sung entirely in Irish: "Caisleán Óir", which translates as "golden castle", and "Buachaill Ón Éirne", which means "shepherd from the Erne".
