Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
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 applied to 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, and adult-oriented radio playlists. --Sam Sutherland

great albums hold their value,
By
This review is from: Shepherd Moons (Audio CD)
and this one does. since hearing it for the first time back in 1991 i've loved this album. it brings back images of an extended trip i took around the middle east. it was to some degree ground breaking and was certainly refreshing. there isn't a bad note on it.Enya set the bar kind of high for herself with this album as i feel that every album since must be compared to it. she has in that regard failed. not to say her newer works aren't great recordings, they are. but are they as good as shepherd moons. i think not. Shepherd Moons is a must have for any collection.

Music from Above,
By dwieselq (RI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shepherd Moons (Audio CD)
When I first heard her first single "Orinocho Flow", I wasn't crazy about the song, and am still not. But over a decade later I borrowed several Enya CD's from a friend and was blown away. The most emotional and beautiful track on this CD is "Evacuee". Though not every track is equal to the next, many of her songs are incredible, on this CD and her others...they touch your soul like no other songs can. If Heaven has music, then this would be it.
5.0 out of 5 stars
great cd,
This review is from: Shepherd Moons (Audio CD)
Enya is one of my favorite artist. I first heard of her while getting a message. She is very calm and relaxing. I play her cd for my kids while they go to sleep it calms them and they fall a sleep easily I would recommend this cd for all ages. It is really great to incorporate into a bed time routine.
