Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Certified 5 times platinum by the RIAA (3/96).
Amazon.com
The success of her first international hit, Watermark, confirmed Enya as less a singer or songwriter than a sonic architect: working with producer Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan, the classically-trained pianist built vaulting cathedrals of sound, framed by luminous piano, shimmering synthesizer orchestrations, and, above all, the seemingly infinite layers of vocal harmonies she plied on every song. The deeply romantic Celtic pop on its 1991 successor, Shepherd Moons, sustains the same spectrum of hushed reverie and surging, rhapsodic releases, as well as its mix of ballads, floating midtempo pieces, and forays into Celtic and Latin--and it's every bit as seductive. The terminally hip will sneer, but it's no accident that "Caribbean Blue," the best known song here, managed to sneak onto modern rock, top 40, "adult alternative" and public radio playlists. --Sam Sutherland

That's what's so great about Sheperd Moons and makes it stand out from even the fine Watermark and The Memory of Trees (I found A Day Without Rain a big step in the wrong direction, particularly after hearing that mega-sappy Only Time played on the radio about 25 million times). She's not trying to appeal to a market or gain mainstream respectability. All she's doing is making beautiful Celtic music for its own sake, much like she's done her whole life, and adding her own personal touches to it.
Enya, more than anyone else, has the amazing ability to take any song...anything at all...and make it sound nice. But when she has an organic, unforced, straight-from-the-heart song to begin with, the result is pure beauty. It works so well, she doesn't even need to use her voice (Lothlorien and No Holly For Miss Quinn) to get an enchanting result.
The signature track is Smaointe, a six minute journey through tempo changes, Celtic chants, and a plethora of instruments (love that horn solo). For more mainstream tastes, there's Carribbean Blue and Book of Days (which is about as poppy as she should've ever gotten).
If you could buy only one Enya album...no, scratch that. Buy only one Enya album. This.
to it on our road trips. She loved Enya. Maybe I left the 'Shepherd Moons' CD in her car when I
traded it in, I don't know...but it was lost. But I needed to own this wonderful CD again.
My wife has been gone for over five years now, and I've moved on with my life- but when I need
to grieve, as we all sometimes do, I listen-and remember...

I think of days on the beach, flying Kite and just being stress free and care free when listening to Shepard Moons and any of her Cd's.
If you love peace and calm Shepherd Moons is for you.
