I currently live in the US but I am a celt at heart. I enjoy all things celtic from music to stories and everything inbetween. I hold true to my Scottish and Irish ancestry and proudly display it wherever I go.

For those who enjoy Enya's music this collection has the be heard. In the four disc set you get some of her best songs along with interesting details about each. It comes in a lovely velevt purple case along with attached bok briefly describing each track. I might add that it is a limited edtion with only 200,000 copies made for worldwide relaese. Al songs were picked by Enya herself. She blends her Irish heritige along with other myths and beliefs together into some of the most fantastic music.
On the first disc you get Watermark-inspired by a poem Enya wrote Exile- the sad seperation of a loved one Alderbaran- a celestial song of sorts March of the Celts-used for the BBC program The Celts but written before the show was aired Boadicea-The legendary Celtic Queen who lead an uprising aginst the Romans The Sun in the Stream-Another inspired song from Celtic mythology On your Shore-A song aboout the inner self Cursum
Perficio- A Gaelic song of a journey's end Storms in Africa-Another lovely song sung in Gaelic The Celts-Also used as the main title for the series Miss Claire Remembers- A beautiful instrumental done soley by Enya herself I Want Tomorrow-Another song done for the series
Disc Two Orinoco Flow- A very lively song of adventure Ebudae-Inspired by the "waulking songs" which were sung by the woman as they weaved and chanted River-A spellbinding instrumental Longships-Brings to life the Vikings as they raided the Irish coast Na Lathea Gael M'Oige- A Galeic song about the days of childhood Book of Days-Heard in the movie "Far and Away" Shepherd Moons- Look to the heavens around Saturn and you will find the inspiration for this instrumental song Caribbean Blue-A very dreamlike song Evacuee- The aftermath and sadness that war brings Evening Falls- A song of dreaming and where dreams take us Lothlorien- Written about the elvish kingdom in the Lord of the Rings, but done years before the movies. A very beautiful instrumental. Marble Halls-A operetic song from the late 1800s
Disc Three After Ventus-The very rare times when things in life make sense. Another of the Galeic songs No Holly for Miss Quinn-Instrumental The Memory of Trees-Instrumental following the ancient Celtic belife that trees were sacred with spirits of thier own Anywhere Is-A song of being Athair Ar Neamh-A song of understanding China Roses- One of my all time favorites about a glimpse of what heaven maybe like How Do I Keep From Singing-A Shaker hymn given new life Hope Has A Place-For anyone ever in love this their song Tea-House Moon-Instrumental song of finding peace with nature Pax Deorum-A song taking us back to the times of ancient Rome Eclipse-Sung in Galeic and building on the ancient belifes of eclipses Isobella-Another Galeis song, this one for children
Disc Four Only Time-A song of love A Day Without Rain-Instrumental song of lost love Song of The Sandman- Childrens lullaby or for anyone needing that extra help to drift off to sleep Willows on the Water-Instrumental based on Greek mythology Wild Child-the unpredictability of what the day will bring Flora's Secret-A true love song Fallen Embers-A song of having love and losing it Tempus Vernum- tells of our own mortality and how life goes on Deora Ar Mo Chroi-Galiec song about nature One By One-The sadness of losing love The First of Autumn- Instrumental that brings the season to life Lazy Days-As the title suggest, taking a day off for yourself Oiche Chiuin- A beautiful rendetion of Silent night and is included in video form.
As you can see there is plenty here for anyone that loves good celtic music or for any lover of music. The exceptional voice and insturments in each song take you on a jurney to places that you may never have been or may want to go to again. You will get hours of delightful listening pleasure from this collection. The information included in the booklet makes for good reading while you listen and float along on with the beautiful voice of Enya. Each song will leave you spell bound and wanting more and with four disc you get just that. It is a must for anyone who loves Enya's music. No collection shoud be without it. As i recieved mine as a gift I am not sure of the price. I have seen it for sale in record stores for under $25 dollars. Also on ebay where you can find everything for sale.
