Another gem from Enya!

Advantages: Great music!
Disadvantages: Too short!

...Track Listings 1. Shepherd moons A beautiful, light as a feather opening track. Fully instrumental. 2. Caribbean blue An album highlight, listening to this song is like pure velvet. Absolutely stunning. The video for this single is breath taking and features Martine McCutcheon before she joined Eastenders! 3. How can I keep from singing A cover of a very old Shaker hymn. Also a single and has an accompanying video. This is a haunting song. 4. ...
...movie. One of my all time favourite tracks. Enya sings in Gaelic about the traditional "waulking songs" sung by women and used when fulling cloth. Waulking songs are unique to the Outer Hebrides. 5. Angeles Another haunting song, which rumoured took months to complete. The rich texture of the vocals is astounding! Nearly 1000 layers! 6. No holly for Miss Quinn Another instrumental. Quite beautiful and easy to play if you are good at the piano! ...

domineoveniteosacramentum....

Advantages: great atmospherics
Disadvantages: fairly short album

There is a current resurgence in solo female artists making chilled out atmospheric music, Dido obviously springs to mind amongst others. What we should not forget is that it is a style that has always been in evidence and one of the best innovators of the genre is Enya. What you first notice about the music is its haunting quality and the use of vocals as much as an instrument as to deliver specific lyrics. About half the tracks are instrumental ...
...Spanish and Gaelic are all used. This is not as off putting as it may seem as this is not the sort of album you would sing along to. The words blend in to be more part of the music than something that sits on top. It is very much a back ground sound and creates a soft and relaxing vibe. Even though it contains the single Anywhere Is, its not really an album where individual tracks matter, only the overall feel of the piece. Where as the current ...

Paint the Sky and Get a Tingle Down The Back of Your Neck

Advantages: A very haunting album to listen to and very relaxing
Disadvantages: Track 11 could be longer

Paint the Sky with Stars by Enya is a classic album. Every track is excellent and so relaxing to listen to, one song just flows into another and great to listen to when you want to unwind after a hard day’s work. She has a haunting voice that gives me a tickle on the back of my neck; I could listen to her for hours. Let me take you through the album. Track one: The famous ‘Orinoco Flow’ this is a chirpy song and the chorus line every so often ‘Sail ...
...drums. What a great choice for the start of the album. Track two: ‘Caribbean Blue’ with its soft strumming guitar start, and then she starts to sing. Her voice is something else. If you close your eyes you can imagine the tide ebbing in and out, I can almost feel the water lapping around my feet. Track three: ‘Book of Days’ a piano plays all the way through this very catchy track and the background choristers really compliment Enya here. Track four: ...

Relaxing, shocking, awesome.

Advantages: Great tracks, great album art, never gets old.
Disadvantages: Nothing!

This guy and this album (and obvsiuly the style of music), come together to make an amazing blend of awesomeness. He's just so damn good - one minute his music is calm and serene, the next bumpy and astonishing. I really love laying back in my conservatory listening to some great tunes by Joe Satriani, and he really deserves to be more well known. All of the tracks are GREAT and, for an album released back in 1998, never gets old and never tires. ...
