Customer Reviews The best Christmas music money can buy!, It has all the hallmarks of Enya's music, which means beautiful musical arrangements overlaid with glorious, multi-tracked voices. This is the EP which features on the Christmas version of the Amarantine album. Four tracks: "Adeste, Fideles" (or "O Come All Ye Faithful", sung in Latin) is just wonderful and should be the Christmas number 1 (it's the second song on the "It's In The Rain" single (see my review of that); "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", as you've never heard it sung before (it's had an Enya makeover and sounds like Christmas Pudding with Brandy Butter) given to someone who can't get enough of Christmas Pudding with Brandy Butter - gosh, it's soooooo good; and two original Enya/Roma Ryan songs - "The Magic Of The Night" and "Christmas Secrets", two more beautiful tracks, which make this EP just about the best thing since Turkey and all the trimmings! This is a sheer delight, which you can wallow in if you so desire. I am not a big fan of Christmas but, strangely, really like the music. Before I bought this, the best Christmas music I had in my collection was Mary Margaret O'Hara's Christmas EP, which is pretty wonderful. This is even better! Completely sumptuous! . Looking for a full length Christmas Album from Enya? What many think is the "Enya sound" was actually developed by the Brennan family band, "Clannad". Check out Enya's older sister, Moya Brennan (also spelled Maire). Moya is the lead singer. They all sound pretty much the same. Moya has an excellent album called "An Irish Christmas", consisting of 12 traditional carols performed in that beautiful ethereal sound we all love. Just do an Amazon search for "Moya". You'll be glad you did!. Sonic Yulescaping The only 'problem' I find with it is that it is too short, but at least it's longer than her other Christmas EPs. This is a celebrative, yet meditative, collection of songs that elicits the beauty of the Yuletide season. The textures and nuances of melody and arrangement make it an engaging offering. .
