Additional notes
Album Notes: Personnel: Enya (vocals, various instruments). Audio Mixer: Nicky Ryan. Arrangers: Enya; Nicky Ryan. Unlike Enya's 2006 EP, CHRISTMAS SECRETS, with which it shares no tracks, AND WINTER CAME is not a traditional Christmas album. It's more impressionistic than most, placing a handful of Christmas songs such as "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" in the midst of a shimmering soundscape of keyboards, strings, and Enya's trademark overdubbed vocal chorales. The mostly original material does an exceptional job of evoking a comforting midwinter landscape without resorting to sleigh bells or other Christmas music cliches. Highlights include "White Is in the Winter Night," "Last Time By Moonlight," and the evocative, childlike "Trains and Winter Rains." AND WINTER CAME is an unusual but lovely addition to the Christmas music pantheon.
Advantages: Soothing compositions. Early taste of Enya's talent Disadvantages: Now sounding slightly dated.
...Enya was a member of the Irish band Clannad from 1980 until she decided to go solo in 1982. Apart from the soundtrack to the obscure 1985 film 'The Frog Prince' for which she contributed a few short instrumental pieces, this is Enya's first truly solo work.
Enya's debut album, originally released in 1987 as a soundtrack to The Celts TV series, is a real gem. Often overlooked this CD contains some enjoyable material. Although maybe not quite up to the standard of her later material, and at 21 years old is starting to sound a little dated, there is still much to enjoy here for true Enya fans. For me the standout track is definately Triad. Three short pieces joined to form one long song celebrating three historical Irish figures. Other tracks I enjoy on this album are The Celts, I Want Tomorrow (with a bizarre electric guitar solo half way...

...the power of Babylon,
From Bali to Cali- far beneath the Coral Sea?
Multilayered vocals, and a stunning instrumental, including harp, keyboards, and percussion, make this song a pleasure to listen to.
How can I keep from Singing?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How Can I Keep From Singing? is a traditional Shaker hymn reworked by Pete Seeger in the 1960s, when the song became popular as folk music came back into fashion, his version leaving out most of the Christian sentiment of the song and adding a verse.
Enya followed the Pete Seeger version of the song on her album Shepherd Moons in 1991, also releasing it as singly in the same year.
'My life goes on in endless song,
Above earths lamentations,
I hear the real, though far off hymn,
That hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear its music ringing.
It...

Advantages: Some great events and a chance to dress your Mii up for winter. Disadvantages: This game will hold your attention, but for how long is a different matter.
...With the Winter Olympics fast approaching it?s time for the old rival companies Nintendo and Sega to reunite for their third game outing together to feature characters from the two respective gaming series? in the form of Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics. The game is the first in the range of various games that are being released to coincide with the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver and will be exclusive to the Wii and Nintendo DS, well after all Nintendo aren?t going to let Sony and Microsoft get their grubby little hands on their prize characters now are they.
For those of you who did not have the pleasure of playing the Summer Olympics game that Nintendo released for the Beijing games this game works in a very similar fashion with you taking control of your chosen character/athlete and competing in...
