Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The success of her first international hit, Watermark, confirmed Enya as less a singer or songwriter than a sonic architect: working with producer Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan, the classically trained pianist built vaulting cathedrals of sound, framed by luminous piano, shimmering synthesizer orchestrations, and, above all, the seemingly infinite layers of vocal harmonies she applied to every song. The deeply romantic Celtic pop on its 1991 successor, Shepherd Moons, sustains the same spectrum of hushed reverie and surging, rhapsodic releases, as well as its mix of ballads, floating midtempo pieces, and forays into Celtic and Latin-- and it's every bit as seductive. The terminally hip will sneer, but it's no accident that "Caribbean Blue", the best known song here, managed to sneak onto modern rock, top 40, and adult-oriented radio playlists. --Sam Sutherland

5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth as Auditory Silk, 14 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Shepherd Moons (Audio CD)
Are you in the mood to become so completely relaxed that you're totally unaware of your surroundings, all your stresses melt away (at least temporarily) and you find yourself easing uncontrollably into the realm of sleep? If yes, then this is the CD for you. This really is a great CD. In typical Enya style, you are enraptured by the wonderful wafts of sound which carry you away gently. The touches of Irish folk add some reality to the whole experience. Great music!

4.0 out of 5 stars Really tranquil, relaxing music, 14 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Shepherd Moons (Audio CD)
This album will make you float around the room even whilst doing the dreariest of tasks! Listen to this when you need an evening of relaxation. Soft lights, glass of wine and the soothing, mellow sounds of Enya - guaranteed to make you chill-out. Well worth buying!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another sublime effort from Enya, 15 Nov 2008
This review is from: Shepherd Moons (Audio CD)
There is no doubt that you know just what you will get from an Enya album,multi layered vocals,soothing piano and haunting melodies.In that sense,you could say that she is predicatble but when this type of music is done so well it is hard to fault.'Shepherd Moons' is one of Enya's finest pieces of work with many fine tracks.

'Caribbean Blue','Book Of Days' and 'How Can I Keep From Singing?' are all classic Enya.If you just want to wind down after a tough day you could do a lot worse than to put on this CD and chill out.A class act.

This album like her others is just brilliant if, like me you want to sit in peace and quiet and relax and let Enya's voice or music wash over you.
