I mean, the idea of Enya just popping into some grungy recording studio that some cookie monster metal band was recording in just hours earlier, decked out in flip flops, ripped Levi's, and a Jethro Tull t-shirt is unthinkable.Enya Enya - Original Issue US cassette albumĮnya Paint The Sky With Stars US Promo CD album (CDLP)Įnya - Pain The Sky With Stars - The Best Of Enyaġ. In that sense, Dark Sky Island may not be as breathtakingly original as Watermark was at the time of its release more than 25 years ago, but it still makes you wonder how such evocative music can possibly be made by mere mortals. Either way, it's by no means a bad thing to hear her staying within her strengths. Think of cassettes as fig newtons and you'll get my drift.Īnd, sure, "The Humming." is such an obvious re-write of "Caribbean Blue" that one almost wonders if Enya forgot she wrote that song already or, perhaps more accurately, thinks either we forgot or that her new fans haven't dug that far back yet. Right around the time I began to lose myself in the subtle yet seductive nuances of this alternate musical universe that Enya and producer Nicky Ryan created, we Record Palace employees went from dusting off the three or four copies that never moved to selling those things by the sleeve. I initially viewed this as cruel and unusual punishment, but one morning I came in with one banger of a hangover and the only thing that wouldn't have made me want to eat a gun was the ethereal and dreamlike musical stylings of one Enya Brennan, formerly of the band Clannad. On those days when my store manager and I would open the store, he would commandeer the store's CD player and play Enya's Watermark all the way through. I was working in music retail at the time the song "Orinoco Flow" took off. That's ten long ass years without any new Enya music to hang your hat on, my friends, and while some might say ten years isn't long enough, this writer staunchly disagrees, I mean, there's no way you pull that album out in July and listen to it, So this is her first real album of new material since 2005's Amarantine. This new one is actually called Dark Sky Island and it's her first new material since 2008's And Winter Came., which doesn't count because it was largely a seasonal holiday album. That's right, Enya has a new record out, called Orinoco Joe And The Spiders From Ireland.OK, OK, I'm kidding, but that's not a bad title. Once I opened this new box, the first thought that came to mind was that I either got moved to the "old farts and/or the only people who will honestly review this" list or the new Enya album accidentally fell into my box. Yeah yeah, I know, a couple of those bands haven't put anything out since 2011 or so, it just seems that Warner/Reprise has me on their mechanics who like metal mailing list instead of, you know, one of their more esoteric mailing lists that might get me copies of Regina Spektor and Disciples, to name just a couple. Noting the trusty WEA logo on the box, I fully expected to see yet another new Deftones, Incubus, Linkin Park or Disturbed CD that the mail man may as well just deliver to my trusty local used music retailer from now on and keep the lousy buck or two in trade for himself. You wouldn't know it for my tough rocker exterior (stop laughing!), but I have been a huge fan of Enya for many a year and I am chuffed beyond rational reason by the gift that arrived on my doorstep yonder morn.
