Advantages: a great introduction to Enya Disadvantages: none
...depths of an artist, and Paint the Sky… is ideal for that. Fourteen tracks outline the ex-Clannad members career (I told myself I wasn't going to mention her former band, oh well) and two new creations that sound as if they were big hits for her anyway.
The album opens, quite rightly, with Orinoco Flow, this is after all where it all began, the one that got the girl noticed and marked her out for great things. An almost pop induced collection of ...

Advantages: Everything about it Disadvantages: Absolutely none
...from my grandson, Enya – Paint the sky with stars – the best of Enya, and I thought it was absolutely wonderful.
Enya is an Irish lady with a talent for playing a host of instruments, most notably the piano.
She has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard and after listening to this album I have asked my grandson to record it on his computer for me, so it can take pride of place in my collection.
Below is a description of some ...

Spotless Star Review ofPaint The Sky With Stars (The Best Of Enya) - Enyaby
mattC
Advantages: Beautifully written easy listening. Disadvantages: You can't dance to it.
Orinoco Flow was a faint memory to me, you know, one of those songs from when you didnt undertand music in your toddler years, but it was so exposed even an embryo couldn't fail to get it lodged in their developing head. Now, thanks to this dreamy collection of haunting songs, it is on of my top snooze tracks. That isn't meant in a bad way, but with Enya's tracks you could quite easily drift off into a dream whilst relaxing to them. Having heard little ...

Advantages: relaxing, removes the stress of life Disadvantages: none
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 ...

Advantages: You can follow the paints in the sky of imagination, if you dream a little Disadvantages: It can be difficult to appreciate for some sad, depressed people
I am sorry, but discovered Enya only a few time ago, listening a spot for her last CD, so... I remained really hit.
I bought "Paint the sky with stars".
Suggestive title, gravid of poetry and visual suggestions.
Exactly as her songs - call them so, but it appears reductive - for the harmonies, the depicted compositions, words and music.
Peculiar, exotic…
I want to say, at least for me.
Even would they maintain certain characteristics ...

Very cool... Review ofPaint The Sky With Stars (The Best Of Enya) - Enyaby
gches
Advantages: Extreme relaxing Disadvantages: Right moments!
Well, I know that typically a greatest hits can be a bit dodgy. That it's a bit of a money making exercise, but.... This one is really good. It's extremely relaxing, and includes all of the big songs by the lady. Yes, all the ones from all of the adverts!
It is something that is right for a certain kind of mood, but less so than her other albums, as the more poppy songs are on here, more than the moody ones!
Definitely worth buying, even for ...

Who cannot love ENYA Review ofPaint The Sky With Stars (The Best Of Enya) - Enyaby
atlantis140
Advantages: Very relaxing music Disadvantages: none at all
...friends CD collection i noticed Paint The Sky With Stars so i put it on. How rejoiced i was to hear Orrinoco Flow as the 1st track played. The song made me feel so happy and i remembered my childhood once more.
Then as the songs progressed the song storms in africa came on which was played at my grandads funeral and that brought back many more fond memories.
Many people who i speak to consider enya to be a sad artist and find her songs depressing ...

Advantages: great Disadvantages: sometimes sing in an old language not many people can speak
dismiss her as new age lift music if you like. see if i care.
i first got into enya after seeing her play orinocco flow on top of the pops. she sat behind a big piano. did you know orrincco flow wasn't about a wombles menstrual problems? if not don't worry, sometimes she sings in Gaelic, and that means i don't understand what she is going on about either, but music is universal, and hers is one of the most beautiful types of music in the world.
