I have recently purchased the Paint the Sky with Stars album by Enya which is subtitled as the best of Enya. I bought the CD at WHSMITH for a purchase price of £14.99 . I could have perhaps got it a little cheaper ,but as I was passing they got my money on this occasion ! Moving onto the album itself.
Well it's a top quality compilation as you'd expect from a talented artist such as Enya. This CD is so relaxing , and stress relieving - just what you need after a hard day at work !
Whilst Enya is not to everyones taste , there is a place for her in my collection , because she is different. This CD features songs from all her other albums such as the Celts , and Watermark . It has 16 songs in total and runs for 57 minutes and 58 seconds !
1. Orinoco Flow - Everyone has surely heard of this whether you are a fan or not . One of her biggest hits and rightly in the no1 spot.
2. Caribbean Blue - not one of my favourites , but never mind !
3.Book of days - a great tune and strongly travel orintated like many of her songs.
4. Anywhere is - Great title and equally good song about new beginings , and travelling on the ocean.
5. Only if - great background beat on this one. One of the lines of the song ... if you really want to you can find a way ...is very true and typical of Enya
6 The Celts - One of the best songs off the album of the same name.Very catchy tune that knda sticks in your head.
7.China rose - I'm not sure I've grown this in the garden ! Still it's the longest on the CD at 4mins 40 secs and is a quieter , slower , relaxing kinda track.Good use of piano in background.
8.Shepperd Moons- another piano backed track - no words , just a soothing relaxing sound.
9. Ebudae - shortest on the CD at 1min 53. I don't understand a word of it , but it's mighty effective.
10. Storms in Africa - Again no meaningful words and the weakest track in my view. 11. Watermark- The title of another album . It has no words but it stays with you , and get's inside your head .
12. Paint the sky with stars -.. suddenly before my eyes , views of indigo arrive ....Another great line and this song above all , shows Enya's natural ability as a singer.
13.Marble Halls - Sung on a high pitch , but I feel it lacks proper background beat and is not lively enough.
14.On my way home- Organ prominant in this one .Continues the journey theme.
15 The memory of trees - great title and a fine track . Let's your mind drft away
16 Boadicea - One of my favourites . This one gives you vibes !
All in all well worth the money , and I have no regrets . But then I would say that as I am a big fan of this type of music .
Enya has a unique style for me and is well worth a try , if only for the novelty value .

I like Enya but I haven't heard all of her songs and off the few song I have heard they all seem to be the same in the sense that a few bits of music and lyrics are changed, tempted to buy this album though.
Thanx for your op Maz
