Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya :: 1588435180
Description
| Product Description |
|
| New Age diva Enya first became widely known when her 1988 album Watermark sold 4 million copies and launched the single "Orinoco Flow." Her follow-up, Shepherd Moons, was even more successful, selling over 10 million copies despite its slightly lower grade of ethereal enchantment. In 1997 she released Paint the Sky with Stars, an assortment of her best work from these two early albums plus gems from 1995's The Memory of Trees and the soundtrack to the BBC series The Celts. The most melodic and atmospheric examples of Enya's lovely Celtic-flavored songwriting shine on this disc. Those unfamiliar with the former Clannad member will find charm in such sweet lullabies as "Marble Halls" and "China Roses" while delighting in the more energetic "Book of Days," "Storms in Africa," and "Caribbean Blue." Overall, an outstanding collection from an artist who gives New Age a good name. --Karen Karleski Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

The Book of Days is one of my favorite songs ever. I can replay it constantly without being bored or tired from it. I feel energized and raring to go do something creative. Listening to Enya music has that effect on me. It's like a spiritual awakening listening to her. You begin to believe that there are other important issues out there in the universe. Listening to Enya whether you are driving your car or in yoga class is therapeutic at times. You feel like you are listening to a choir of angels and can't believe it is just once voice.

A good friend turned me on to Enya, whose songs I had enjoyed but had never connected with her name. The sonorous melodies and rhythms along with the ethereal quality of the choruses give many of the songs a haunting quality like no other contemporary artist. Her music is about as far from the ever popular hip hop as you can possibly get, recalling the art song of classical composers rather than the contemporary pop scene. I really appreciate Enya and hope this is just one of many more best of Enya albums to come.

This CD is exactly what I have expected when ordering it.
To listen to ENYA driving alone on a lonesome road is really a joy and an experience.
Absolutely satisfied.

I'm not going to layer this review with insightful information and all of that gibberish. I'm jsut going to come flat out and say that THIS CD IS THE BEST EVER!!! It's so beautiful, and Enya's Celtic songwriting compliments her music so well. Her voice is so pure! If I could, I would give this CD 100 stars! It's so beautiful!

When I need to relax, Enya helps fill the void and this definitely is the best of her best. There is not much that you can't do to Enya's music; work, draw, meditate and just plain relax. Along with Medhi, Digital Moodz, Amethystium and Enigma, I have quite the collection to "mello" to.
