A cohesive blend of ethereal Celtic New Age and experimental pop. Some songs are slower (Watermark, Evening Falls...) some more cheerful and jumpy (Orinoco Flow) others more stormy(Cursum Perficio, Storms in Africa pt1&2). Enya sings vocals in 3 different languages and uses them as elegant instruments, weaving with other instruments giving some occasional structure on some songs while crafting some powerful vocal performances when she chooses to make her voice the centre-piece. Though borrowing from classical and folk, most of the project has a bright electronic sheen. Most songs have a strong influence of ambient music allowing a lot of space, successfully creating an ethereal feeling. A lulling project, lush and bright dreamy canvas in a refreshing New Age paganesque experience.
Best Tracks: Watermark, Cursum Perficio, On Your Shore*, Storms in Africa*, Exile, Orinocco Flow*, River, The Longships*, Storms in Africa - Pt. II*
