Watermark

From: $13.97

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

What an amazing leap from The Celts to this masterpiece.
Nothing really like the original.
More mature, beautiful, haunting and extremely memorable.
Not a weak track on the disc. It's kind of a toss up, which is...

I haven't heard anything like this since Ashlee Simpson was on Saturday Night Live. Indeed, I was at one of her concerts and she definitely was lyp syncing. Basically, someone else sings for her in the studio and she pretends to sing on stage. Her...

The very definition of an excellent CD. I generally listen to classical music, but Watermark has always held a special place in my heart. Art at its finest.

This is one of my favorite Enya CDs! Anyone who loves peaceful calming music should really enjoy it. Considered by many to be "New Age" or "Celtic" I think her music is just "beautiful!"

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. read full review | report as inappropriate

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 03, 2007 Type: User Review Enya Watermark

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.
