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
CD Description
"Heavenly" is the best way to describe Enya's ethereal voice. The Irish new age singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalistis a formidable talent with a repertoire filled with gentlenuances and subtle turns. Peaceful and mesmerising, Enya's expressive arrangements float and flow alongside musical imagery, lyrical poetry, and stunning vocals which are unrivaled, yet often copied. Based on Irish folk-roots, Enya's musicis timeless and seamless, without boundaries or limits. Herexquisite vocals sweep through interwoven overdubs and multi-textured instrumentation warmly gilded by airy synthesizedstrings and keyboards.
Her otherworldly voice is trance-like in such songs as the tranquil "Shepherd Moons", "Angeles", "Evacuee", and "Marble Halls". Accessibly lilting, awashin synth strings, "Caribbean Blue" is this album's answer to "Orinoco Flow", Enya's gigantic worldwide pop hit. The song, as all the others, transports the listener to another place. "How Can I Keep Singing?" is Irish folk music at its best. "Ebudae" is a percussive march with a mushrooming synth, and with its delicate vocals, one must marvel at the beauty of Enya's keening voice.
