Amazon.com essential recording

New Age diva Enya first became widely known when her 1988 album Watermark sold 4 million copies and launched the single "Orinoco Flow." Her follow-up, Shepherd Moons, was even more successful, selling over 10 million copies despite its slightly lower grade of ethereal enchantment. In 1997 she released Paint the Sky with Stars, an assortment of her best work from these two early albums plus gems from 1995's The Memory of Trees and the soundtrack to the BBC series The Celts. The most melodic and atmospheric examples of Enya's lovely Celtic-flavored songwriting shine on this disc. Those unfamiliar with the former Clannad member will find charm in such sweet lullabies as "Marble Halls" and "China Roses" while delighting in the more energetic "Book of Days," "Storms in Africa," and "Caribbean Blue." Overall, an outstanding collection from an artist who gives New Age a good name. --Karen Karleski

Serenity Now!.......2007-07-10

I've listened to this CD over and over and I never get tired of it. Enya's music is so wonderfully soothing and serene. I recommend listening to this one while driving to keep road rage at bay!

Real Ear-Candy.......2007-07-07

As a musician myself I'm always searching for the ultimate unique musical experience and Enya's music is timeless. This "best of collection" will deliver hours of listening please. Enya's multi-layered voice textures, that give her music its uniqueness, are soothing to the ears. Real ear-candy!

A Sound All Her Own !.......2007-07-06

Oh, Wow! This is a cd that will be liked by all who enjoy M E H D I, C E L T IC or even Loreena Mckinnett. It is the very essence of good new age. So tranquil, yet so spirited, this cd is a refreshing break from my well-worn collection, I just keep wanting to listen to it over and over again. I am amazed! It reminds me somewhat of Celtic Women, but still very unique. This is music to the soul. Absolutely relaxing, as well.

ALSO RECOMMENDED: M E H D I ~ Instrumental Paradise Volume 8..A True Gem.

Mood Music, some good, some bad.......2007-06-27

Enya's music is spacey with airy singing. Much of it is genuinely moving and touches emotions, but other tunes make the listener almost want to die. Definitely mood music. Good songs:

Orinoco Flow
Carribean Blue - very ethereal
Book of Days
Celts
Anywhere Is
Only If
The Celts

Paint the Sky with Stars - not a good song. I mention it as illustrative of my above comment. This is a real downer. Don't listen to it if you are struggling with suicidal thoughts in your life. I'm not just making a bad joke with this comment; it is truly mournful.

Overall the first half is more enjoyable. Album could have 5 stars if it had maintained that pace, but the 2nd half is much more depressing rather than emotive

Timeless.......2007-06-16

This music appeals to all senses primal and majestic, those felt, those buried. Enjoy!

Album Description

Beginning and ending in the sky while touching down everywhere in between, Anael's 4th album is an uncompromising personal invitation into the celestial heavens. The innocent and dreamlike "See Another World," opens the senses, and each subsequent song is a brief stop on her flight. "Till the Womb Gives Birth" explores the mindset of a steadfast, faithful creator searching for the truth; "Trace" recounts our ability to connect with God by simply mirroring a higher set of ideals. As the journey progresses, we sense a newfound sense of assuredness in Anael's outlook, the script of a soul who is starting to uncover a fresh perspective. What keeps it all believable is her everpresent deliberation and questioning, well tempered with a healthy dose of humility.

Culminating with perhaps her finest studio achievement to date, the 11 minute opus "Sky Sent (Disclosure)" gives us a multi-angle vista of an unprecedented event in human history, the uncovering of hidden technologies that have the power to literally transform life on earth.

Through this constant juxtaposition of earthly concerns and human dreams, Anael reveals the multiple resonances of our universe, using a vast array of vibrations all geared towards heightening the listener's awareness. She leads us into the pure silence of the untouchable, the unexplained, the invisible - all while while charming us with her sense of bewilderment at it all. Finally, as she carries us away on her wings to the next destination, we're inclined to believe. These things of which she sings can truly be our reality.

Swept away to another world.......2007-05-11

When I hear the clear, angelic voice of Anael, I think of her as the American/Canadian version of Enya. Like Enya, Anael's songs have a similar sound, feel and texture to them. Unlike Enya, Anael's songs aren't usually nearly as *busy* and are kept sparse in special effects so as to not take away from the natural beauty of Anael's voice. Admittedly, many of the composer, Bradford's works are based on the Roman Catholic Canon. However, some of her lyrics contain references and ideas that are strictly elements of the New Age religion. At times the words can be difficult to understand but even when she sings in other languages than English, one senses the mood and meaning of the song. Not many artists have the ability to bring a listener to tears of unexplainable joy and peace however this is what happens while playing any of Anael's songs. The songs are written to act as adornment to Anael's vocals. Her multi-layering vocal tracks become the lead instrument and the added strings, percussion and synthesizer accompany her, instead of the other way around. She is a joy to listen to and the enhanced CD contains desktop images of Anael while the music video of "Be Still Thy Soul", in MP4 format is a nice bonus for those able to view it. Sporting the same white gown as the cover art, Anael sings "Be Still" while the camera sweeps in and around her as she gently waves the layered linen fabric as if donning wings of an angel. The Gregorian vocal at the end of the final tract make for a nearly picture perfect ending.

My first exposure to Anael was through the CD "Unconditional". In my opinion, "Spiritual Beings..." make the perfect bookend set of CDs for this artist, if one had to chose only two CDs. I am eagerly anticipating hearing her newest release that is beautiful if only for the cover artwork. Put this CD on and you'll be swept away to another world free of the day to day madness. Enjoy this light, cotton candy for the ears!

I LOVE THIS CD!!!.......2007-01-10

I was looking for something spiritual and uplifting, and this is the perfect CD. Anael has an angelic voice -- absolutely beautiful and mesmorizing. The lyrics and music by Bradfield are amazing. I have bought this CD for my friends! I have purchased several of her other CD's, and by far, this is my favorite.

A new age masterpiece!.......2003-10-18

I have been enjoying this divine album for several months already (I live in Canada) and when I came here to Amazon, I couldn't believe that no one had even written a review yet...! So let me take a few moments to share my own, personal thoughts with you. I first discovered Anael's unique artistry with her "Unconditional" album about 2 years ago, and this latest album (her 4th) is among the most compelling, beautiful albums I have ever experienced. I use the word "experience" because with Anael, there is so much more than just the "listening". If you've never heard Anael's voice, let me try and describe it: breathtaking, crystal clear, with a tone so pure it sounds like the guardia angel of heaven. With every word she sings, you can feel the effect on your soul, as though a warm, divine light is fixed upon you, shining down from above. On "Spiritual Beings on a Human Journey" she sings about both the human and spiritual worlds, and how they intertwine with each other. My own personal favorites are track 2, "Till the Womb Gives Birth," track 6 "Trace" (amazing) track 8 "Être Sans Âge" where Anael sings in French and the final one, "Sky Sent (Disclosure)." This song is over 11 minutes long(!) and has 4 distinct musical movements. It's like a mini new age opera, complete with the fascinating story of hidden ET technologies and the importance for mankind to reveal them. I think that even if this were the only song on the album, I would be satisfied - it's just that special. In terms of packaging, the people at Anael's record label spare no expense and it really makes for a feast of the senses. The album comes in a cardboard style case that opens up twice and contains gorgeous angel paintings, all arranged conceptually to match the lyrics from the song "Sky Sent". There`s even a 24 page color booklet with all of the words plus more photos. I have played this album in countless therapy sessions and my clients usually end up asking me where they can buy their own copy. I urge you gently to discover it for yourself. As one of my patients told me: "Anael`s music very simply changed my life."

From the first blanket of choral voices awash in reverb, Amarantine is instantly recognizable as a product of Enya, the Irish chanteuse who has created a genre unto herself. Although it's been five years since her last CD, on Amarantine it's as if time stood still. The triumvirate of Enya, lyricist Roma Ryan, and producer Nicky Ryan work the formula they perfected on Watermark, layering her voice in lush choirs pushed along by pizzicato synth strings, swooning orchestral pads, and harpsichord arpeggios. On tracks like "Less Than a Pearl" and "Drifting," Enya flirts with a timeless sound born in gothic chants and hymns. The former is one of three songs that she sings in Roma Ryan's fictitious language of Loxian. It seems to free her, especially on "The River Sings," a veritable rave-up where she gets the tribal choir going in the style of Scottish mouth music. But to get there you have to slog through slo-mo ballads that manage to be dirge-like and singsong at the same time, like the Carpenters on Quaaludes. The relatively restrained arrangement of "It's in the Rain" almost attains a folk-like simplicity that Enya hasn't experienced since she sang with her siblings in Clannad a quarter-century ago. Amarantine sounds like it was born in cloistered solitude, self-referentially echoing Enya albums past. --John Diliberto

Another Zone.......2007-07-07

I discovered the joys of Enya through my hairdresser! We were alone in the shop one night and suddenly she ran for a CD and put on this absolutely dreamy music (it happened to be Watermark, one of Enya's first albums). I was transported! It was haunting and evoked my strongest emotions--what artist had this power? She was aghast I had never heard of Enya since I'm in my mid-fifties. She said, oh, Enya has been around forever--don't you love her? YES. Her voice summons up Celtic forests and old mysteries best left unexplored, and of course, lost loves and massive emotional pain. But it's also strangely heartening. If you want to be moved to "another place," then put Amarantine in your player and prepare to be whisked off to another land full of fairies and mist. Enya has certainly trumped herself with this stunning CD.

Not as good as previous albums.......2007-06-27

I have all Enya's albums but this one is simply not as good as any of her previous ones.

Another beautiful release.......2007-06-07

It's a dilemna that must face many an artist: do you repeat what you've done before because it's safe and it's what the fans want or do you do new things everytime but alienating certain people who prefer it when you did a certain sound. In the case of new age artist Enya, she doesn't really do anything new on this record or any of them. There's still her ethereal voice, lush musical arrangements and big choirs but that's what we love about her so why change it? While there's some less-than-amazing tracks, it's still a very solid record.

Less Than a Pearl: Probably one of the best album openers she's done, possibly since the Memory of Trees. Verses are nice and subdued but then probably the most gorgeous chorus she's done hits and it becomes a stellar Enya track. Highly recommended. 10/10

Amarantine: Not a lot of people are big fans of this one and I can see why. It's not that it's a bad track it just doesn't really have that hook that instantly pulls you in. Of course her vocals are spot-on and the chorus is slightly catchy, it's just not one of the better ones here. 7/10

It's in the Rain: Originally I didn't like this one but the chorus struck me and I started humming it, especially the backing vocals that answer the last word in the line, so I got into it more. It's one of the more lovelier songs on here. 8/10

If I Could Be Where You Are: What sells the song completely is Enya's vocals. The music is wonderfully understated, not overpowering her with choir sounds like she usually does. While it's maybe a bit more slower and not as attention grabbing, it's anchored by a great vocal. 8/10

The River Sings: Very upbeat, very lively despite the fact you don't know what she's singing (several of the songs were done in lyricist Roma Ryan's made-up language of Loxian. A great chorus that slows down the beat a tad; this should've been a single. 9.5/10

Long Long Journey: Another album highlight, largely built around Enya's vocal melodies and the chorus with a kind of marching band drums coming in to liven things up. Best part of the song for me personally is a captivating bridge melody. 9.5/10

Sumiregusa: Originally I didn't like the song but there's this one section where her vocals almost turn cathedral sounding and I ended up liking it again. May not be a song you get into right away but give it time and eventually it'll grow on you. 8.5/10

Someone Said Goodbye: Even though there's a hook with the song, I'm not that big a fan of it. For some reason I couldn't get the chorus "adios, goodbye" from a Day Without Rain song out of my head when I hear this one. It's a nicely composed track but it may not be a favorite for all. 8/10

A Moment Lost: The further along the record goes, the more slower the songs seem to get and there isn't that more upbeat song to liven things up. As always, it's a very nice sounding song and none of these are skip-worthy but if you tend to look for specific songs to listen to, some might pass this one. 7.5/10

Drifting: I love the use of the piano on this one. Very minimalist in its arpeggios and chording but fits perfectly with this instrumental. It's very soothing to have on and like a lot of instrumentals, it's not meant to be a big pop number a la River Sings but it's still serene nonetheless. 8.5/10

Amid the Falling Snow: Nice bouncy melody to accompany Enya's multi-tracked vocals. These help the track later with tons of ethereal vocals going on at once. Even though it's buried at the end of the album, it helps bring the cd's pace up. 8.5/10

Water Shows the Hidden Heart: The third, after River and Pearl, to be sung in Roma's Loxian language, it's a more quieter album closer and it's nice to hear her vocals almost cross each other near the end. It's a bit slower and probably won't go in your iPod anytime soon but it's a lovely closer. 8/10

It's always hard to review an Enya cd. When you use too many adjectives for "lovely", it might sound kind of biased. It's then you start seeing the songs as a whole rather than just finding everything pretty. While a couple of okay songs drag it down a tad, it's still a worthwhile cd for fans.

She's done it again..........2007-05-20

...made an album that I can listen to over and over and over. Simply beautiful.

One of Enya's Best.......2007-05-18

All of the folks who left negative reviews must not have heard the same album I listened to. Amarantine is quite possible my favorite Enya album, though The Memory of Trees is another strong candidate. For me, Enya is a guilty pleasure. I primarily enjoy progressive rock and roll and jazz-fusion, but Enya's music offers just enough for me to escape from time to time.

The song writing in Amarantine feels much tighter than in A Day Without Rain. I have two favorite tracks on this album: "It's In The Rain" and "The River Sings." The former is reminiscent to me of some of her work from the Watermark album, while the latter provides an excellent rhythm that evokes mental scenes of Celtic dancers.

I highly enjoy this album and I listen to it fairly often. If you enjoy all of Enya's music (as I do), you will enjoy this album.

As each new Enya release has washed over all who have ears to hear, as each heaven-touched work leaves admirers sitting speechless in slack-jawed wonder, questions eventually come to mind: Might her layered, choral-like approach gradually become predictable or stale? Will she ever exhaust her deep reservoir of soul-stirring ideas? Remarkably, A Day Without Rain, Enya's fourth release since her 1988 breakthrough, Watermark, establishes new artistic heights for the gifted Irish vocalist and keyboardist. The project, polished and refined over a five-year period in the company of longtime collaborators Nicky Ryan (producer) and Roma Ryan (lyricist), may qualify as her best yet--a radiant, beatific collection of works that command attention with their cathedral-like resonance as they soothe your spirit with some of Enya's loveliest, most graceful voicings ever. The disc's opening three tracks (including the spellbinding "Only Time") form a gorgeous trilogy that suggest Enya has deepened her focus on the nexus where sophisticated pop and regal mysticism, the twin rivers of her singular sound, form a seamless intersection. The disc's gentle timbre is disturbed only once, and in memorable fashion, with "Tempus Vernum," a marshalling of mythic sonic forces that brings to mind the theme from the De Beers diamond commercial, but with a Celtic/Goth edge. Additional highlights abound. The closing "Lazy Days" will leave your soul dancing in a shower of flower petals and sunshine. A wonderful recording. --Terry Wood

Customer Reviews:

Classic Enya, But So What?.......2007-06-24

Now don't get me wrong -- I am an Enya fan. And as such I was looking forward to the release of the CD.

I probably listen to it the least of any of her CD's that I own (for the record, I have "Shepherd Moons," "Watermark," "The Memory of Trees," "The Celts," "Paint the Sky with Stars," and "Amarantine").

Why? Because with each previous (and subsequent) Enya release, there has been something that goes beyond the ethereal tones that we expect from her. And I just don't hear it here.

I do have my favourites on the CD just like anyone else ("Flora's Secret" and "Lazy Days"), but I wouldn't say that they stand out in any significant way from tracks on other CD's. If you have to choose one disc among Enya's later works, pick up Amarantine first, then grab this one later if you want a complete tome.

my favorite Enya CD.......2007-02-11

love all the selections, some are upbeat & cheery others more melancholy.

Relax.......2007-01-17

I have had this cd for about 4 years and it still has the same effect......RELAXATION. It makes me feel very calm and centered.
I have 4 cd's from Enya and this one is the one I listen to because I love Only time, A day without rain. Those are my favorites!
If you are a fan of hers this one is a must!

A very special one........2007-01-09

This CD have a meaning to me, the song Only Time have a healing message for everyone. Is like having someone who is giving you an advice in trouble times. You have to get this CD!!!!!

Melodic and Uplifting.......2007-01-04

This selection of music from Enya could easily be called "The Best of Enya" for my money. The music is Melodic and at the same time Uplifting - - it evokes a relaxed state of mind and body and recharges the psyche. I would heartily recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys easy listening.

Enya's 1988 recording Watermark achieved landmark success with her groundbreaking use of multi-tracking technology to fuse new age and Celtic themes and instrumentation. The meticulous production defines her sound and achieves continuity even while weaving together tender ballads, piano pieces, massively layered vocal harmonies, and symphonic synthesizer movements. Although Enya's pristine voice isn't especially strong, her lead vocals possess a vulnerability that reflects the lyrics' sense of personal searching. From the ubiquitous, frothy single "Orinoco Flow" (which was used to hawk Crystal Light on TV) to the hard, bold edge of "Cursum Perficio," Enya's style remains fresh and engaging today. --Richard Price

...TIMELESS LOVELY MUSIC...........2007-07-16

She has never done better! This was the first I knew of Enya! I heard it playing when it first came out in my local music shop at the time, and asked the clerk what that was that was playing, and immediately bought a copy of this lovely album.

With all the wonderful stuff Enya has done since this, (and I have it all), I do not believe she has ever done better than this simply georgeous, lush, listening experience.....truly music to "take you away!"

MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ~operabruin

Enya Watermark.......2007-06-03

I have always enjoyed Enya's works and own most of her CD's. I seem to have missed Watermarks until recently. Now I am thrilled, this is the best of all. It's from 1989 but if you enjoy Enya buy this CD you won't be disappointed.

Repetitive rhythms that take you away.......2007-02-01

New Age music is hard to define for those who have not heard it. But if you had to name landmark albums in the growth of New Age music, this would probably be one of them. Released in the late 80's, this is probably one of the most popular New Age albums, especially by a female artist. The musical pieces are a collection of both instrumental pieces and songs, all of which remind one of nature scenes. Many of the pieces sound similar, and listening to this CD will give you a good feel of Enya's vocal range and talent. But all the pieces are good, and some are downright great; especially the famous Orinoco Flow. Overall, a good buy for relaxing music.

BORING.......2007-01-16

A great disappointment. I was expecting a better product from this artiste. There is so much much non-directional filler instrumentation that I feel like I bought a CD that was an Enya / New Age elevator music collaboration. You would be better off picking up something by her sister Maire (comparable voice, more creative presentations).

My wife loves going to sleep to the sound of ocean waves (and I like it too) without someones music. She loves this CD.

Best sleep aid without a prescription.......2007-04-28

As a life-long insomniac (only kid in kindergarten with bags under his eyes), finding this disc was a true godsend. I bought it on a whim and didn't really learn of its magic until years later, when I got divorced and went through a spell of even worse-than-usual sleepless nights. I found that playing it softly on repeat was enough to help me drop off every time. Not only that, but whenever I woke during the night the waves were there to wash me right back into dreamland. It's been several years now, and a happy second marriage has helped me sleep better, but when I have those tough nights "Ocean Waves" is still there to help me through. Possibly the best money I ever spent on a CD.

great "ocean sounds" CD.......2007-04-09

Great - - four tracks of beautiful & relaxing sounds of ocean waves! Although description on "CD case" mentions sounds of sea lions/sea gulls, I'm unaware of "sounds of creatures", which is an asset for sleeping. I put this CD on repeat & sleep with these beautiful sounds of ocean waves. So much - - for such a low price! Highly recommend!

Relaxing to Ocean Waves of the Echoes of Nature CD.......2007-01-27

I am sitting here listening to the CD as I type. We live 20 miles from
the Gulf Coast of Florida and don't always get a chance to go to the
beach, so this is as close as I get. I love listening to the calming
sound of the waves rushing into the beach and I was pleasantly surprised
to hear the sea gulls. I highly recommend this CD as a relaxation tech-
nique for those like me who have trouble unwinding at the end of the day.
I also highly recommend the "Thundering Rainstorms" CD.
This society that we all live in is always, "Rush, Rush, Rush" and these
CD's have a real calming effect. LOVE THEM!!!!

Very Relaxing.......2005-10-20

I'm always looking for soothing background noise while I'm working, napping, or turning in for the night, and this CD is the best I've found so far. Other ocean tapes or CDs I've heard sound like white noise or become predictable. This one is so realistic that if I close my eyes I can transport myself back to my hotel room on the beach in the Caribbean last February! Even the seagull sounds (which are subtle and minimal) are enjoyable (I usually find bird sounds on nature CDs irritating.) This was a really great buy. I highly recommend it!

Deva Premal.......2007-04-26

Hauntingly beautiful voice - highly recommended and not only for the Guyatri Mantra.

music to soothe the soul.......2007-01-08

I bought this CD after hearing someone else play it. It is absolutely wonderful. The first couple of tracks are great for deep relaxation and the rest is wonderful for doing Asanas. One of the best cd's Iv'e come across. I highly recommend it.

peaceful and enchanting..powerful.......2006-09-02

I found the music to be healing. You will feel more connected with humanity as it has a multicultural beauty. Enchanting use of voice and unique musical instruments.

Beautiful, Ethereal and Uplifting.......2006-03-01

For years now I have encouraged people to use play lists to provide a soundtrack for work, recreation and contemplation. If done properly, they can quickly put your mind and subtle systems into perfect alignment to carry out whatever you want or need to do. Constructing play lists has become so much easier with the advent of the iPod. One of the fun things about iTunes is being able to see how many times you have played a particular song.

I was a little surprised to see that I had played the crown jewel of this collection - the Gayatri Manta - well over a hundred times over the last five years or so. Deva Premal's interpretation of this famous piece is extraordinarily fine, as is the entire album. It is almost impossible not to be uplifted by her amazing voice, which is rich, resonant and deepened by the most extraordinary sub-harmonics. Indeed if you are not, it may be a helpful pointer that something is not going quite right in your body or in your life, and that it's time to get some guidance about how to help yourself.

So much more than music, this is sound therapy.

Bliss.......2006-01-30

My yoga instructor often plays track 1 at the end of class while we're resting in savasana--listening brings me back to that feeling of pure bliss and awareness. The whole disk is beautiful.

Amazon.com essential recording

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 plied on 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, "adult alternative" and public radio playlists. --Sam Sutherland

GREAT MUSIC.......2007-03-09

SHE HAS SUCH SOFT MUSIC AND I LOVE IT IT JUST HELPS ME TO RELAXE.
I HAVE A LOT OF STRESS IN MY LIFE AND THIS HELPS TO GET AWAY FROM IT FOR A WHILE

Calming.......2007-01-05

I play this in the car all the time. It is a definite antidote to frustrating traffic jams.

None better.......2006-11-03

The zenith of Enya's work. Ethereal and hauntingly beautiful. Marble Halls alone is worth the CD price.

Simply Beautiful!.......2006-10-19

Enya's cover albums are like a work of art in itself. Then once you listen, you can't imagine how beautiful and angelic of a voice. This compact disc was one of many. You feel like sailing away her to voice when you hear Caribbean Blue and other other songs on this disc. There isn't one song that I could pick but all of them. I recommend this collection as a must have for Enya fans everywhere. She will win you over with her soothing voice and spirituality. I always feel more energized listening to her music than getting a power bar.

Rainbow of sounds and pleasure.......2006-06-17

Shepherd moons was my first introduction to Enya back in 1991. Her style and haunting voice rooted themselves in my soul ever since then and the song called Caribbean Blue still stops me in my tracks everything I have the pleasure of hearing it. It must be one of my favorite musical pieces ever for you see blue in front of your eyes as you hear it, the Atlantic waves on a beach at night or with sun light shining through like columns of light all the way down till they disappear to the abyss. Her music has the rare gift of powerful visuals they project in the listener.

New Age is so easy to like, with its non threatening characteristics it can be enjoyed at any time of day or in any mood. Shepherd Moons is one of Enya's best compilations and probably most popular among people who are loosely familiar with her. This CD is romantic in a mysteriously beautiful way, its not cloying and cheesy but both soft and powerful. The lovely thing about this album is all the different types of Enyas music you get. There are the soft ballads, the sultry pieces and deep catchy tunes, the sensual ancient Latin songs, and earthy tracks such as Book of Days That makes you feel as if on a galloping on a horse through secret passages and forests.

I absolutely love this CD, and honestly I haven't written a review of it in the past fifteen years but putting it on two days ago really enchanted me and I'm still under awe of this glorious CD to the point where I had to share some of my adoration for it.

Album Description

Music touches our hearts and resonates within our bodies. The right music can truly renew us, helping us to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Great musicians have always recognized this therapeutic power of music, and researchers are finally proving them right. THE SOUND MEDICINE SERIES features the works of inspired musical pioneers who are exploring music's healing power.

Natural Balance and Harmony Your body is a self-healing instrument. If you give it a chance it will always tend toward homeostasis or healthful balance. Sound healer Steven Halpern uses soothing and free-floating keyboard compositions to draw the body into this state of balance and harmony. Combining artistic inspiration, sensitivity, and sophisticated sound technology, his compositions synchronize the hemispheres of the brain and amplify the production of alpha waves. This natural response is associated with feelings of deep relaxation, contentment, and well-being.

Steven Halpern, Ph.D. stands at the leading edge of the growing public understanding of the relationship between music, body, mind and spirit. An internationally acclaimed composer and recording artist Halpern has produced over sixty recordings and authored several books. His music has been featured on 48 Hours, America's Talking, and in USA Today, The New York Times and Yoga Journal. Halpern's recordings are used in hospitals, healing clinics, and leading spas worldwide.

Good sleeping Music. Very calming for the mind. It would go nice with a cup of tea.

very nice.........2007-04-10

This CD was a nice experience. It did seem a little repetative but, all in all, it was good.

When you come home at night, weary and bedraggled from yet another hard day at work and a long commute home, put on this cd. it will refresh your spirit and help it heal. :::::smile:::::

Great meditation CD.......2007-03-12

This is my new "go-to" CD for meditation. I'm a fan of vibrational music for meditation, but sometimes the vibrational CD's can get repetitive and boring. This CD has multiple tracks with variety in the music, but with calming vibrationals in the background. Good for meditation, guided imagery, yoga, or great background music for reading.

Sound Medicine: Music for Healing.......2007-01-04

Following a suggestion from Candace B. Pert, Ph.D. found in her book "Molecules of Emotion," I decided to look for a relaxation CD to help me fall asleep. Because I also suffer from migraines, the word "healing" in the title of this CD intrigued me. It's still hard to believe, but for the past three months it puts me to sleep so quickly that I've never heard the end of the CD! And if I should wake up in the middle of the night I just turn it on again and fall right back asleep. Amazing!
