Enya is half-sister to Marie and yes Fuaim is the only album where she was an
"offical" member of the band she might have contributed some on others, I'm not
sure.

My collection consists of:
Clannad 2
Clannad In Concert
Fuaim
Magical Ring
Macalla
Pastpresent

the first three being mainly traditional with little if any wall-o-sound
keyboards, I tend to preffer that to the later stuff.  I didn't get hooked
on the newstuff until I took a week long sail from Chicago to Marquette MI
(in the UP) that stuff goes great with large bodies of water, and sailin on 
them.  So take some to the sea...

Even though Legend, Magical Ring, and Atlantic Realm are listed on PastPresent
I've never seen them in the stores (My copy of Magical Ring is a import that I
stumbled across in a used bin).  The earlier stuff is comming out on Shanachie
Records so far I've seen: In Concert, Fuaim, Clannad 2, Crann Ull and Dulaman 
just came out, they might release the later stuff too but probably not as 
BMG/RCA owns rights to it.  (the eariler albums are on Tara in the UK).
