A limited edition of 200,000 copies of luxury. She is just about the most spell-binding singer I know. You know what to expect from Enya's music, but this collection is beautifully packaged with a felt cover in mauve with a very subtle flower pattern on it, which matches the pattern you see on each disc. There are great pictures of the artist, too, which are really lovely and can also be viewed on your PC, to the sound of "Afer Ventus".

Not much to say about the music, because they are all gloriously relaxing and beautiful. The tracks all come from the albums which made her a superstar, from "The Celts" to "A Day Without Rain" with the added bonus of "Willows On The Water", which was included in "A Box Of Dreams", and a video of "Oiche Chiun", the gaelic version of Silent Night. After you've seen the picture gallery on your PC, view the video.

This is a much better collection than "A Box Of Dream", with 50 tracks and a more varied running order. Even if you have the albums, treat yourself to this.

Truly wonderful.

Last year I hadn't really heard much of Enya, and then I started hearing about her on TV, mainly due to one of her songs being on the LOTR soundtrack (The song being the best part of the whole film...) Anyway, I got this Album for my Christmas, and it is amazing! The vast collection of music is to almost any taste, and I am still to find a friend that doesn't like at least a couply of her songs (My friends and I being only 16 - that is quite something!)
Anyway I would urge you to buy this album if you are, well ANYONE! It's great and It has been beatifully presented in the gorgeous display box, I didn't want to use the CD's! So take my advice - buy it! You won't regret it!)

IF YOU ONLY BUY ONE CD COLLECTION THIS YEAR - MAKE IT THIS ONE

I have always been a Enya fan starting back in the 90s, and stemmed from listening to Book of Days on a "NOW thats what I call music album". I had lost some of my CD collection and not listened to Enya for sometime.

I decided I needed to get some of her tracks back, so bought this collection of her best tracks. I AM SO GLAD I DID.

Its got the best from my previous albums that I lost, so I have saved £££ from needing to build up my collection again.

***Its a great way to pick yourself up and put things into perspective, when you are down/alone/stressed, to listen to the tracks and escape from the real world for an hour or two. It touches you spiritually, and unlike anything else.***

It is timeless.

It is wonderful.

Very soothing for the soul this de-luxe box set from Enya.

The production values on every track are outstanding and am privileged to say I own a Cd set such as this.

Etheral harmonies/beautiful music combine with very spiritual vibes that come across when I play any of the tracks after a demanding day.

Own it if you can.

The Only Time Box set collection featuring the best of Enya is fantastic. Not only is the music both electrifying and haunting but the collection is also beautifully presented (with an interesting background snippet about each piece of music). Something to chill out to with a glass of wine. Inspiring and a must for all Enya fans!!

I bought this collection after hearing Enya on the LOTR soundtrack. If you vaguely liked her music from the film you will LOVE this. I've been listening to it for a couple of months now and I will never tire of it.

This beautifully bound collection is a compilation of some of the best tracks from Enya's previous albums. As most people will already know, this music is beautiful and inspiring, but can be to an aquired taste. Personally, i love every track in the collection, and if you like Enya's music like myself, this album is a must.

This is the most beautiful collection of music I have ever had the privilege to own. The packaging on this deluxe box set is pure class and the production is brilliant. It is hard to find words to describe the music, the closest I can get is SUBLIME. Enya's voice is truly wonderful and the music is beautiful. The price Amazon are selling this for is amazing and I urge you to buy it if you are into timeless ,classic music.

This is probably the better value of the two Enya boxed sets that are available just now. With Enya, you know what sort of music you're going to get; you may even have much of it already on the original CD's. So I won't go on about the music.

What is more remarkable about this collection is its presentation. It is a feast for the senses, sight and touch as well as hearing. The velvety cover of the box reflects the softness of the voice and the sound production. Feel it. Weigh it in your hand, for this is no lightweight effort. Run your fingers over the glossy booklet inside. Feast your eyes on the saturated deep greens, blues and purples, not just of the box and the book, but of surfaces of the CD's themselves. Everything belongs together. You even get to see Enya performing Silent Night in Gaelic, not to mention a screen saver for your computer. (To my mind this isn't the package's strongest point. I was a little disappointed to find that Enya herself is absent from the screen saver. What you get is a reproduction of the leafy artwork that is a theme of the presentation, all very nice, but...) The only senses not catered for are those of taste and smell, but who knows? Maybe Enya's next offering will smell of the wild heather and taste like Guiness (or perhaps Bailey's).

The collection comes in a box that won't fit into your CD rack. Never mind; it's exactly the same size and shape as the Jacques Brel (three CD) collection 'Quand on n'a que l'Amour' (another 'must have' that you can get from Amazon), and they do look lovely side by side on my bookshelf, so why not treat yourself to both?

What about this being a 'limited edition'? Well, 200,000 isn't all that limited, but I certainly count myself as privileged to have got my hands on one of these, and for a very reasonable price too. I suspect that it will hold its value.

absolutely brilliant i mean the irish nightingale enya.
this collection is perhaps one of the finest i ever had.
thanx enya and thanx amazon.
