Watermark

Enya

A breakthrough in multi-tracked vocal architecture. Shimmering synthesizers and Celtic melodies create a vast, liquid landscape that redefined the New Age genre.

September 19, 1988 · King Records (22)

A profound, shimmering tranquility that feels both ancient and technologically pristine.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, rhythmic pizzicato strings and joyous vocal burst that opens Orinoco Flow.
The way the title track's solo piano seems to float in an infinite, echoing void.
The transition into the Latin chanting of Cursum Perficio, shifting the mood from soft to cinematic and urgent.
