As each new Enya release has washed over all who have ears to hear, as each heaven-touched work leaves admirers sitting speechless in slack-jawed wonder, questions eventually come to mind: Might her layered, choral-like approach gradually become predictable or stale? Will she ever exhaust her deep reservoir of soul-stirring ideas? Remarkably,
A Day Without Rain, Enya's fourth release since her 1988 breakthrough,
Watermark, establishes new artistic heights for the gifted Irish vocalist and keyboardist. The project, polished and refined over a five-year period in the company of longtime collaborators Nicky Ryan (producer) and Roma Ryan (lyricist), may qualify as her best yet--a radiant, beatific collection of works that command attention with their cathedral-like resonance as they soothe your spirit with some of Enya's loveliest, most graceful voicings ever. The disc's opening three tracks (including the spellbinding "Only Time") form a gorgeous trilogy that suggest Enya has deepened her focus on the nexus where sophisticated pop and regal mysticism, the twin rivers of her singular sound, form a seamless intersection. The disc's gentle timbre is disturbed only once, and in memorable fashion, with "Tempus Vernum," a marshalling of mythic sonic forces that brings to mind the theme from the De Beers diamond commercial, but with a Celtic/Goth edge. Additional highlights abound. The closing "Lazy Days" will leave your soul dancing in a shower of flower petals and sunshine. A wonderful recording.

| Having been in Ireland and seen Enya's house (which is for sale), it was good to get this CD as I have about 4 others of hers and do enjoy the lyrics and music. |

I love this album. If you've heard other albums by Enya, you've heard this one. The same thing you get every time, which I think is very nice. Her voice is a great instrument and she is in fine form here. Great lyrics too!!
I find this album, like all Enya albums, very relaxing. If you need a good relaxing CD, try it! |
| TOTALLY STALE SOUND | 2010-04-25 | 1 / 5 |
|
| This is simply a rehash of very other lame Enya CD that you have ever heard. I liked Shepard moons and Watermark, but this CD offers absolutely nothing new. Its the same sound, recipe, formula that she has doled out to us countless times now. I think she is either incredibly lazy, cares only about profits, or is creatively bankrupt, maybe a combination of the three. Her last two CDs are the last Enya CDs I will purchase. |

| Straight off: A Day Without Rain, Wild Child, and Lazy Days are the very BEST ones. I know what you're thinking: What about Only Time? That became a huge hit when it was released advertising Friends and during 9-11. What is so interesting about this song with me is that I LOVED it until it became very popular. Weird isn't it? Anyhow, get this CD (or mp3 format) if you are able. This is another winner from Enya! |
