Enya

One of my favorite artists.



I know she's really soft ... but man who doesn't have moods that stuff like this really soothes your soul!



Any other Enya fans on board? I'm listening to her first album right now - and feel like I'm being swept away in old Celtic worlds where the magic of this music is taking me!

me! I really enjoy Shepherds Moon and Watermark.

Those are two of my favorites right there!









1. Amarantine

2. Watermark

3. Shepherd Moons

4. The Celts

the rest ...





every album I cherish though!

Watermark was the first one I heard. The Clannad stuff isn't so ethereal, but it's pretty good too.

My sister used to play her music at home when we were in high school. I always felt depressed after every time I was subjected to the music. I know she's talented for whatever genre she's in, but not my thing at all.

In my opinion her music is very depressing.

Her music can, indeed feel dark.

I personally don't mind darker sounding stuff. I guess that's why I like a lot of goth and industrial stuff. For some reason cloudy weather always made me happier. I'm not run-of-the-mill that way I know.

But Enya is not for everyone. No mistaking that. She's for the magical few though.

I like her more up tempo (and I do use that term with care) material.

Are you calling yourself magical? Are you an elf or something?

Judging by the artist, he's a fairy.

I dig Enya..... I own two of her albums... Haven't listened to 'em in a while but I really enjoy 'em...

When I heard her stuff in The Fellowship of The Ring..... I was sold....


Maybe that's why when I drove through the Redwoods last year the music fit!!!

I actually own her entire discography

Yep - I agree!

I dont own her whole discography but I have three albums.

I went through a big Enya phase in the mid-90s but to be honest these days it just doesn't do anything for me. Don't hate it or anything, just for some reason it no longer appeals to me like it did then. Storms in Africa will always be my favorite of hers.

Smooth Up Enya

I had a buddy who was really into her stuff back in the 90's and early 2000's. Heard alot of it, pretty good, but never pursued it any further.

Not a fan, but she's pleasing to the eyes.

DC - way to go with TheKing as your avatar!!!

AWESOME!!!

Indeed, it kicks ass.

enya is damn wonderful. i'm not on board with romanticizing the celts but she can speak sing some mean gaelic. and her sister myra brennon does the best gaelic version of 'be thou my vision' i've heard.

Outstanding voice, but would love to hear some more branching out in her work, instrumentally speaking. I know that's where most would recommend me some Iona, but unfortunately their stuff has not really hit me, out of what I've heard.

You might try Loreena McKennit (sp?).
