[Yvonne]

Thanks for the info, Ed! Very nice to know ! How do you know these things ?

Love,

Yvonne

Hi Ed, and thanks for that .... apologies for late reply, have only just seen it!

[Yvonne]

I was just checking bol.com (to see if may be the release date had changed again ) and I noticed that there will also be an LP (vinyl record) of Nadur. I don't have a vinyl record player myself, but it may be interesting for those who do.

Love,

Yvonne

cdon.com has listed Sep 24th as their tentative release date for Nadur, I have already placed my pre-order! Roll on September!

On Ed's page it says that Nadur is available for pre-order on I Tunes and that there is a bonus track exclusive to I Tunes called River of Dreams. Thanks Ed for posting the info .

I have to say that I am always frustrated if there are exclusive bonus tracks available only on I Tunes or in some countries. I Always try to get all the music and this way that is not really possible. I don't have I Tunes and this way you are forced to get it if you want the extra song.

Still looking forward to the new album very much, just a little frustrated...

Love,

Yvonne

Also, we audiophiles who prefer to buy our music on CDs and other physical media are a bit unhappy that those bonus things are digital download only, so I share your frustration Yvonne!

I've just read about the bonus track on Ed's website and have the same feelings as Yvonne and Suvi. Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned but I also prefer to buy "real" CDs (as "real" books). I've never downloaded a song from the internet. I don't even have this software . All songs I have on my MP3 player (it's not an iPod) are from real CDs I bought.

Just got an email from ARC Music (newsletter which I have subscribed in fact), which contains a link to the record label's Youtube channel in order to watch a short EPK video of Nádur! The link is here:

Enjoy!

Hi,

for the Dutch fans and for what it's worth, T2 Entertainment changed the releasedate of Nádúr back to 13th September
Just like bol.com, freerecordshop.nl and so on

I wanted to thank you for the news, Ed, but the release date is even sooner than the 13th!!

I got an e-mail this morning from Free Record Shop that my order had shipped today, so I was so happy that it would be here tomorrow, but it was in the mail today!!! So, I am listening to Nadur right now! Can you imagine that, I certainly can't ! You will probably find it in your mailbox today as well, Ed! What a surprise!

I haven't had much time to listen to it as my son stayed home sick from school this afternoon, but I am trying to listen a bit now. Yes, it sounds wonderful and it will certainly grow on me more. I haven't been able to listen to all songs yet. Transatlantic stands out more than I expected from the short sound clip we already knew. Brave Enough is GREAT. The Song in your heart will definitely be a favourite, goosebumps despite the hot weather! At this moment my favourite from the album. I was very curious about Hymns to her love and that is indeed also a wonderful song, well I must say, I haven't heard anything I don't like yet ! Unfortunately, there are no lyrics in the booklet.

I will write more when I have a bit more time! Enjoy the album, Ed and all the other lucky ones who got the album already!

Love,

Yvonne

Odd, as Clannad said on their facebook today that the digital version is not available worldwide until the 20th - and it isn't released here until the 23rd

Don't give anything away please! I've heard a minute or so of the EPK, but otherwise I want to be surprised!

[Yvonne]

I know Grania, I couldn't believe it myself. Although I am very happy to have the album already it seems a bit unfair to everyone else who is still waiting. I hope the releasedate will be earlier in other countries as well!

I won't give anything away, only that the album is truly wonderful, I have only heard most songs once but I think they are even better than the promising short sound clips. I do hope that you will all be able to enjoy the new music soon .

Love,

Yvonne

Hi Yvonne and others,

i received my copy of Nádúr last saturday, just as i was away for the weekend. I noticed the delivery e-mail on my phone while being away.
I listened to the album one time today. I'll try not to give away too much, but i like the album a lot. What, it's a great album The 13 songs are all different, it's almost as if you're traveling through 40 years of Clannad music. Perhaps that's why i also have the feeling that it has to grow on me, but i already like a lot! On the Clannad Newsblog i've posted the interview Clannad had with the Irish Music Magazine, about Nádúr. One quote from Moya: "Every track is different yet every track is pure Clannad" http://members.ziggo.nl/clannad/Clannadarticle.pdf

regards
Ed

In Germany they are not so quick so I have to wait about 2 weeks more for the CD.

Ed, many thanks for posting the interview . I haven't read it yet but I realised the sentence in the blue box "We love playing in Ireland, we've just had a concert in Carrickfinn in Donegal with Altan, Fidil and The Henry girls, which was great fun and very enjoyable, so much so, that we intend to do it annually!" .

I just got an email from the Dutch online shop Bol.com that they have shipped my order for the new Clannad album Nadur, so I should get it tomorrow. That's a lot sooner than expected.
