Celtic Consciousness Touches Us All, February 4, 2006
This review is from: Enya: The Video Collection (DVD)
This DVD contains all the Enya video's released prior to the 'Lord of the Rings' film trilogy. If you've seen her videos on MTV or elsewhere you pretty much know what to expect.
Playing List:
1) Orinoco Flow
2) Evening Falls
3) Storms in Africa
4) Exile
5) Caribbean Blue
6) How Can I Keep From Singing
7) Book of Days
8) The Celts
9) Anywhere Is
10) On My Way Home
11) Only If
12) Only Time
13) Wild Child
Also contains three special features:
1) Enya, A Life in Music
2) Caribbean Blue - Making of the Video
3) Only Time - Making of the Video
This is really the essential video/DVD for the avid Enya fan. As far as I know it's the only DVD release of her material. I find it especially important for the inclusion of 'Only Time' which received extensive television play after 9/11.

Beautiful Music, Bland Videos, Odd Selection, February 20, 2009
This review is from: Enya: The Video Collection (DVD)
Per my understanding, Enya is the uncontested pinnacle of her genre. I'm sure that you've heard her music if you're looking at this review, as most people have been exposed at one point or another.
This DVD contains music videos for several of her songs. All of the music videos are nice enough, and appropriate to her style of music, but I couldn't help but find them to be pretty bland. You wouldn't "watch" these like you would watch other music videos that I have... there just isn't anything narrative or compelling about the video. It's a collection of video of surf, video of forests, video of rain, some dancing, lots of closeups of Enya, and things of this sort, stitched together expertly.
I was also disappointed by the song selection. There are a few of her big hits, but many of these videos are for songs that I don't particularly like. Looking back over her albums, it seems pretty clear that she chose to make videos for songs that meant something to her, rather than songs that were popular among her fans.
In spite of my gripes, I can't really complain. None of these videos were specifically made for this DVD release, and I can't really fault this product for doing what it does -- collecting the videos that exist for the fans who want to collect them. An Enya fan will be lucky to have this (or even find it, since it is out-of-print).
