	I agree, "Sirius" sounded too electronic, and dare I say it,
commercialized. I think Clannad were trying to make their music more
appealing to the general public and as such introduced synthesizers,
and other electronic gizmos. The end result was that "Sirius" sounded
too much like a mainstream pop record. My all time favourite Clannad
album is still "Magical Ring", especially the haunting "Theme from
Harry's Game".
