Rip Off
What
it is are songs from old albums and only about 5 of them. I ordered this item because I was lead to think it was a new album. The entire CD
was about 10 minutes. I returned it because I thought it was not worth
it and ended up paying shipping and handling both ways. My refund ended
up being about one dollar. What a disappointment and loss of money.

Amaratine
I've enjoyed all of her music and I think more promotion on her music needs to be out there. This is one of Enya's greatest CD. It is great for relaxing and calming.
I look forward to more of her music. She is more than excellent in my view.
Delights & Surprises
The melody may draw many at first listen like myself, and for others it may take a little longer. AMARANTINE
A style that is redolent of `Only Time', it is Enya , working on a hooky pop song with universal lyrics. Al though it reminds me of `Only Time' the high chorus owes more to a church choral hymn than a pop song. As a song, I like it much more than `Only Time' which took me awhile to really like.
THE COMB OF THE WINDS
An Enya instrumental with voices. A gentle melody that is a crisper version of `Midnight Blue' , with the sensibility of `A Day Without Rain' infused with `Drifting'. The mid section features vocalised harmonies that drive it along without overpowering the instrumental section. Then back again to the main melody. As a B side, it most likely had to make way for `Drifting' in the `Amarantine' album.
THE SPAGHETTI WESTERN THEME FROM THE CELTS
The first time I hear an Enya composition, really adhering to a style of an existing genre of musical style, that conforms to the style from themes of action Western film. It opens with castanets and dramatic guitar chords, then whistling, percussion as the main melody plays. Enya's most obvious contribution is in the vocalisations, backed by Ryan and Bridgeman. The percussion by Bridgeman gives it dynamics, power and a sense of urgency. The dramatic guitar opener and timely chords within the song, give it the necessary twang. The vocals propel that sense of urgency and motion further. The sound of pealing bells should be familiar to fans who have Enya's `The Celts' recording.
It lends a strong image. The start is like the hero checking the barrels of his revolver, he takes his shotgun and then unties his mount. He puts on his coat and off he goes, galloping away. The mid section where the mission bell tolls tell us of the villain and his henchmen waiting. The track tells us of the hero's swift gallop to the place of showdown. The track ends with the sound of distant pealing bells, of the town square, where the final climactic scene of shoot-outs will be played. Can Enya do a Spaghetti Western? Definitely and convincingly.
