Dúlamán was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales and is their first album produced by Nicky Ryan. Clannad in 1982 at the Leeds Folk Festival. In 1985, Clannad released Macalla (Irish for Echo) which was recorded in Switzerland, England, and Ireland.

Macalla is a 1985 musical album by Irish folk group Clannad.

This album originally came out in 1985. I wasn't familiar with Clannad at the time, yet I sought out a copy because I was a huge U2 fan, and Bono provided guest vocals on the track, "In A Lifetime. Needless to say, I loved the entire record, and I've collected most of Clannad's CDs since. Some are better than this offering and some are less interesting. Gaelic for the word echo, "Macalla" showcases the band's beautiful harmonies over a series of ten great compositions, all written by members of the band
