Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0075992677523 Label: Reprise / Wea Manufacturer: Reprise / Wea MPN: 26775 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Reprise / Wea Release Date: November 19, 1991 Studio: Reprise / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: 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 plied on 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, "adult alternative" and public radio playlists. --Sam Sutherland Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Enya completes her trilogy of musical perfection.This album takes the best parts of Watermark and refines and masters them. From start to finish, and absolute masterpiece. One of the most brilliant and original albums ever. Don't skip this one. If you own only one Enya cd it should be this one. Enya earned her place as an innovator and a force to be reckoned with on this one. A piece of music history. Buy this!!! Rating: - Enya MagicAs with all of her work this one is very well done. Enya's a perfectionist and supremely good at hitting on catchy and haunting rhythms harmonys and lyrics. Rating: - GREAT MUSICSHE HAS SUCH SOFT MUSIC AND I LOVE IT IT JUST HELPS ME TO RELAXE. I HAVE A LOT OF STRESS IN MY LIFE AND THIS HELPS TO GET AWAY FROM IT FOR A WHILE Rating: - CalmingI play this in the car all the time. It is a definite antidote to frustrating traffic jams. Rating: - None betterThe zenith of Enya's work. Ethereal and hauntingly beautiful. Marble Halls alone is worth the CD price. |
