What is Enya's best album?

[Suedehead]

In your opinion of course

 

[Marilyn]

Watermark

 

[ZenGiraffe]

How have we never had an ENYA SURVIVOR?

Surely that’s @Sheena ?

Watermark of course ♡ though A Day Without Rain was my initial favourite album.

Excuse me but isn't the Enya forum exclusively for speculation, AI, and piss competitions?

This is no place for a discussion on music

The Very Best of Enya OF COURSE

 

[disneyteletubby]

That reminds me of my "walk around the garden" response haha. It is the best range of Enya songs.

I wonder what the next compilation album/box set will be called (Paint The Sky with Stars, A Box of Dreams, Only Time: The Collection, The Very Best of Enya...)

I think something related to the moon or wind, or based on a song (like Echoes in Rain, though probably a new Enya song).

[Send your responses ;]

 

[disneyteletubby]

I have no idea if there'll even be a new album... but maybe a compilation of the Trio years (plus some new songs) could happen. That would be quite a special release.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Maybe not best Enya album, but the lead-up to it for fans (probably helped by social media) must've been best for Dark Sky Island. ♡

I'm finally fully in my ENYA ERA. I've not listened to an album of hers until tonight. but I just played A Day Without Rain and now I'm on Dark Sky Island.

what should I dive into next? do any of her albums have particular individual highlights or are they mostly just SOOTHING AMBIENT EXPERIENCES?

 

[crazychris]

Easily Watermark.

Some say the latter (those who just and don't properly listen ) but I think the former (there are song highlights on all).

Depends on what you vibe with more in the music; the more ethereal soundscape-y or somewhat danceable.
Everyone loves Caribbean Blue though

 

[disneyteletubby]

If the latter (Dark Sky Island and A Day Without Rain do seem most pop) here are a few hits from other albums that I think you might like:

I'll get onto these, thanks love! yes I know and love Caribbean Blue of course. that's definitely my reference for poppier Enya along with Orinico Flow.

I would agree with those being the top 3 too
Edit: no, Celts>Dark Sky Island

 

[hyperwoof]

The one with the stuffed wolves on the cover

The one with the stuffed wolves on the cover

The first one, her eponymous album

The tracks are the same as her 1992 reissue (The Celts; the music was composed for a 1987 BBC documentary of the same name)

3rd in my ranking of Enya's albums; probably even better than Dark Sky Island for me.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Not really considered as one of Enya's albums (but is part of a box set ) the Stars CD in A Box of Dreams has a tracklist order that flows really well. Na Laetha Geal M'óige followed by Smaointe too
