One of Clannad's most popular albums, this greatest hits compilation features the band's rock edge as well as its softer ambient music sensibility. 1985's "Closer to Your Heart," from the album MACALLA, was Clannad's attempt to break into the pop market. Here the electric guitar solo, while dated-sounding, shows off the superb skill of special guest Anton Drennan, while Maire Brennan's voice is particularly inspired. Other hits, such as "Theme from Harry's Game" and "Robin (The Hooded Man)" come from music Clannad recorded for the eponymous British television series. The former, with its lush vocal choir, is one of the band's most haunting ambient/new age tunes. Finally, "Something to Believe In" features the vocals and piano playing of Bruce Hornsby, and is smartly co-produced by former Jackson Browne drummer, Russ Kunkel. A must for fans, PASTPRESENT is also a good starting point for neophytes.
