Advantages: Totally special Voice, So relaxing It could send you to sleep

Disadvantages: None

I've never really been into new age music, but Enya is just an incredibly special artist. This album, a collection of her best material, is one of the best album's i've ever listened to.

Orinoco Flow-
Sung in a way that you could imagine Enya floating down the Orinoco river. The song is very well known as it was one of the bigger hits.

Carribean Blue -
Beautiful and quiet. It really has an underwater effect to it. Enya's vocals sound like the noises you approach when deep in the ocean.

Book Of Days -
Another one of the big hits. Slightly faster but just as relaxing. The part where it quitens is just amazing!

Anywhere Is -
Sounds a bit commercialised. The verses could be those of a pop song, but the chorus and lyrics prove this isn't an average boring ballad.

Only If -
Reminds me of Anywhere Is. I always get them mixed up. Cacthy chorus complete with those haunting chants to back up the brilliant song.

The Celts-
You can picture armies marching to the beats of this track. Enya's lyrics are also impressive.

China Roses-
A delicate song which is nice and quiet. Watch out though!you'll be off asleep in no time!

Shepherd Moons-
Beautiful classical singing with the piano stringing ever so lovely.

Ebudae-
A lively track sung entirely in Irish Gaelic. Short but very sweet.

Storms In Africa-
Takes a long time to start up but once it's in full swing, it's a masterpiece.

Watermark-
Another slow and quiet piano based track which sounds like Shepherd Moons. Much more pleasant though.

Paint The Sky With Stars-
Enya sings without any humming or chanting here. Not the best on the album.

Marble Halls-
So lovely, I could cry everytime I hear it! A traditional hymn sung much better than any old person, and it has a stunning rhythm.

On My Way Home-
Introduced by church or
gans, then evolves into a typical relaxing Enya song.

The Memory Of Trees-
Starts slow and quiet, then builds up into a big new age anthem with all the usual soothing lyrics that Enya provides!

Boadicea-
Made famous by the Fugees when they borrowed it. Good tune, but could of done with something else to make the track a bit better.

Well, i'm more impressed with this than I am with my favourite artist Michael Jackson's albums!
