Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Enya seventh studio album, And Winter Came can be enjoyed in two ways. With songs like “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”, “Journey Of The Angels”, the children’s song “Toy Soldier” and a Gaelic version of “Silent Night”, (“Oiche Chiuin”) it is, at least half of the time, a celebration of Christmas, flush with joyful, traditional festive cheer (and those haunting, floating vocals). But other songs here are less overtly religious. The ambient title track, the ethereal “Last Time By Moonlight” and the chugging, rhythmic “Trains And Winter Rains”, although equally emotive, conjure up slightly different imagery--namely, landscapes of ice-covered forests and star-strewn nightscapes. Of course all the songs somehow together to create a coherent winter tapestry that’s broken only by the surprisingly poppy "My! My! Time Flies!”--an upbeat number that features, believe it or not, some adroit blues guitar. Perhaps on Enya’s next album we’ll see more of her pop side let loose; but for now this is as “adult contemporary” as it gets. --Danny McKenna


CD Description

This seasonal offering from one of the world's most successful yet enigmatic artists follows 2005's 'Amarantine'. Originally envisioned as a Christmas album, it evolved a more general winter theme, with the finished product containing onlytwo traditional Christmas songs - 'O Come O Come Emmanuel' and 'Oiche Chiuin' (Silent Night). The whole is bathed in the customary ethereal, hypnotic wash of synth and massively multi-tracked vocals and includes the single 'Trains And Winter Rains'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back. We missed you., 8 Nov 2008
By P. Arentz (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not having followed news around Enya for a while, i only learned about this album two weeks ago. Altough i was of course happy to learn of a new album in the works, i was a little sceptical about the winter-theme, which would probably mean i won't play this album all year round. But as i love her music, i'm always a little anxious near the release date. Welcome back, Enya.

I received my copy today, and played and re-played it a few times. The first song, "And winter came" brought back the Enya-magic instantly. Also, on some other songs, her voice in the background sounds more 'angel-like' than before, which sets her music apart from the rest for me.

The album's first single, "Trains and winter rains", is very rhythmic and up-tempo. You either hate it or love it. I love it, can't see what's not to love, altough i was a little surprised to hear her sing about cities, neon lights and cargo trains, the most modern words i've heard in any of her songs so far. So there go my Tolkien-esque visions i always associate with her music. Nevertheless, i love it, and personally i think it's one of her best up-tempo songs.

All the songs are winter-themed, and about half of them are *heavily* winter/Christmas-themed. While the songs are good (including the re-recorded Silent Night) you probably won't play them outside of December. This leaves very few songs for the rest of the year, making this album rather short. As usual with her albums, it always seems we have to wait so long for a new album, and they seem too short. Of course this goes for any artist you can't get enough of, but it left me a little disappointed as it'll all be over too quickly after Christmas, and the waiting for a new album starts all over again.

This is the only thing keeping me from awarding 5 stars. It's still Enya, it still sounds like Enya, it's got several songs in all her 'styles', and this Enya-fan thinks it's good. If you're an Enya-fan, it won't matter what i say as you probably already got it. If you want a Christmas album, get it, as these aren't the usual carols (except Silent Night, of course). But if you're new to Enya's music, you might want to look for another album.

5.0 out of 5 stars ENYA AT CHRISTMAS SIMPLY FABULOUS, 11 Nov 2008
Other reviwers seem to miss the point - this is Enya, not differnt Enya just Enya looking athe whole christmas and winter themes with excellent results. From the fabulous WHITE IS IN THE WINTER NIGHT to classic O COME EMMANUAL which sounds like a backing track to The Tudors. Enya lives in a world of simple vocal and piano arrangements and for that its great to hear. An unexpected and brilliant take on winter. Welcome back Enya

Now, if only Kate Bush would do one!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful calming Christmas music, 14 Nov 2008
By Julia Gemstone (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
I must state that I love Enya. I am a forty year old stressed mother of three boys and find her music wonderfully soothing. I love Christmas, too. I bought this on the first day it came out and now feel ready for Christmas. I can see myself baking my mince pies with this on in the background and I can't wait! I am a Christian and find some of the lyrics magical. In the mad rush of Christmas, this is the music to play for a break. If you don't like Enya or don't like Christmas, don't buy it!!
