chill

Advantages: can be used in various situations
Disadvantages: lyrics on some songs could be better

After initially buying this album after hearing the singles released, "call my name" and "crazy chick" I was pleasantly surprised at how good the rest of the songs were. My favourite song on the album is "show a little faith" which has excellent lyrics that can relate to almost anybody in many different situations. Other favourites on the album are "confessional song" and "easy way out" although confessional song doesn't have the best lyrics I've ...
...excellent and shows of Charlottes talented voice very well. The whole album is extremely easy listening and I don't find myself skipping any tracks to get to the next one as I often would do with other albums. The album is great for playing as background music or in the car. It has a mixture of slow and upbeat songs so it lifts your mood with some songs and helps calm you with others. I bought this album about four months ago from wooworths for ...

Enya's debut album

Advantages: Soothing compositions. Early taste of Enya's talent
Disadvantages: Now sounding slightly dated.

...on this album are The Celts, I Want Tomorrow (with a bizarre electric guitar solo half way through), Fairytale, March of the Celts and Boadicea. This album laid the foundations for a hugely succesful career and let us know just how talented she is. Die hard Enya fans will know that there is actually two versions of this album available. The original BBC Records release from 1987 featuring a black and white photo of Enya on the front and the 1992 ...

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 ...

More elegance and openness.

Advantages: Some lovely peaceful music
Disadvantages: None

...a Minimalist. "In general I don't like definitions, but 'Minimalist' is a term that means elegance and openness, so I would prefer to be called a Minimalist than something else." -Ludovico Einaudi And 'elegance and openness' is the best way to describe the music that is on this CD. The inside of the inlay of the CD tells that one time the composer was driving through part of Africa when a piece of music came on the radio. The music told the story ...
...or a loved one. I am not at all sure what this has got to do with the music on the CD - perhaps this piece of the music and the story behind it gave inspiration for the music, but I'm not sure about that. Tracks on this CD include: 1. Melodia Africana I 2. I Due Fiumi 3. In Un'altra Vita 4. Melodia Africana II 5. Stella Del Mattino 6. I Giorni 7. Samba 8. Melodia Africana III 9. La Nascita Delle Cose Segrete 10. Quel Che Resta 11. Inizio ...

A voice for a night for two ;)

Advantages: stylish performance, consistent through all tracks
Disadvantages: lots of covers (but that's what Michael does)

...It Is sounds like blues, it's just like milder version of SRV with piano instead of guitar, but it still sound consistent with the rest of the tracks, bringing freshness to this jazzy climate. Song For You is definitely a highlight of this CD with Chris Botti, an established trumpeter, playing nice, atmospheric passages through this track. Classic Frank Sinatra's interpretation of this tune needs no introduction, because I've Got You Under My ...
...his way with elegance and a touch. Stevie Wonder's You And I closes the album with gentle sounds of piano and orchestra. There are two bonus tracks Dream a Little Dream and Mack the Knife appearing on this CD. Well, brought together this CD is a very good choice for romantic night with your partner, as I said before, but if you want to listen to it in a car you might find youself driving off road sometimes. enjoy listening! ...
