LEGEND (OST)

The movie series Robin Of Sherwood showed on Soviet TV in summer 1987 was a discovery of Clannad for Russia. Before that, only a few dedicated collectors in my country were familiar with the band. I remember the stunning impression they made by their fantastic music. The film was quite good itself, but without the soundtrack by Clannad it might become something of little significance... as well as the soundtrack itself without the film. I must admit that the music for Robin Of Sherwood and the album Legend are two unequal things. The themes and melodies are beautiful, the performance is skilful, the arrangements are full of magic... when perceived together with the movie. But the album hasn't turned out. And I'm afraid all those tracks could not form an instant album. Having been put together they formed just a set of fragments, charming and pleasant for ears but having no integrity.
