Enya is a hermit who lives in a castle in the middle of nowhere and she makes all her music herself in her castle????? That's fucking cool!!!
I like Enya. "Orinoco Flow." "Caribbean Blue." Nice soothing mellow study music. Nothing wrong with it at all. Fuck a Robert Christgau.

I thought "Cursum Perficio" was the most awesome/evil-sounding slab of darkness at age 11.

My parents had five or so albums total (including holiday music) and listened to adult contemporary radio stations so I didn't have a lot to choose from, but still...
BROODY.

yeah, first three albums are great, Na Laetha Geal M'óige and Lothlórien especially. later stuff is blah. although May It Be from the Lord of the Rings movie was pretty solid.

Only Time is off her best and most consistent proper album btw. Short as, but very high quality right the way through.

Just got a vinyl copy of Watermark from a secret santa at the radio station I dj at. the perfect remedy for spending hours in front of a word processor. just put it on...cannot wait to weep when On Your Shore comes on. oh man.

sometimes just so good in the office. i remember one of my bosses at school, she was 40-something with a penchant for really soothing music at work, and said things like "you know, ramzi, we need things like this -- everything just gets so stressful!"

Q: Is it true that you’re a big Enya fan?A: Who doesn’t love Enya? Whenever I’m in a trying time, she is the calm in the middle of the storm. If I put her on, I’ll be in this crazy peaceful state. I love her style. And her harmonies are freaking genius.

Was just reminded of Enya by a tv commercial, then posted something on facebook like "now that we've all had 20 years to think about it, Enya was pretty stupid music right?" Came here expecting to find some people of a similar mind, but WTH? This thread is a love-in.

I like how you the most recent news item on her web site is congratulating an Irish race car drive on his win, and you can buy an Enya baseball cap on her web site but nothing else.

Passed up buying the album with Orinoco Flow on vinyl this weekend. Did I make a mistake? Think I want to go back and find it.

mammoth mistake tbh

orinoco no
flow back and get it
By coincidence I did buy the Enya album w/ O-Flo on it this weekend. Pretty much a charity shop 99p staple in the UK, not sure why I broke down and actually bought the thing this time round.

Got the Clannad album w/ Harry's Game at the same time, side one of that is the only thing I've listened to so far. Harry's Game is an all-time classic obv, but track two sounded good too and a bit John Martyn-ish iirc.

aka the album w/ o-flo
ahead of the kanye game
pinch of salt cos its from the aul fella but he reckons her long term partner was a shipmate of his for years up in donegal, got stressed/sick of her insisting that her music career was viable or it was putting too much strain on the relationship and broke it off after something like ten years- Orinoco flow was released within the year.
but idk, the aul fella, he's got a story about everyone.
nb in donegal/west coast its not rly a huge deal to live in a castle miles from anywhere. if you own eg a moderately successful cafe you might well live in a castle. but enya is p chill yes.

i'm still putting together my thoughts on it but i just sort of genuinely love hanging out in the environment of her records, so even when the songs aren't there the textures pull me in. there are some really really gorgeous songs on this new one though
