Has anyone listened to this album ? Amazon/YouTube has a video of one of the songs, Trains and Winter Rains, it's not bad.

Caught me by surprise when I heard about it but I tried my sister's copy a few days ago: IMO, it's the same Enya (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I might add).

I have it. My 3 favorite tracks are "And Winter Came", "Last Time By Moonlight" & 'Stars And Midnight Blue".

 

[Audio-Omega]

Is the sound quality as good as her last album ?

Do you mean Amarantine ? I'm not sure if I have that anymore...or where it is.

edit: I realized that I have Amarantine ripped to 320 kbps mp3 on my iPod. I have also ripped the new one @ 245+/-(VBR). I think this new release sounds as good if not better...huge soundstage, her voice is very clear. Nothing to complain about.

The sound quality of Amarantine is pretty good. Sumiregusa is my favourite track. It seemed like that album was released only a few months ago !

 

[Audio-Omega]

It's a bit like a Christmas album. Most songs are slow, not that it's a bad thing. My only complain is that most songs are short, they should be at least five minutes long.

One song reminds me of my trip to another city a few years ago. I was watching trains going pass in a winter rain.

It's on my Amazon wish list ... hope I get it for Xmas.

The SQ on all her CDs is stellar.

 

[Audio-Omega]

Her song "stars and midnight blue" is unique. It brings back memories, and Enya's photos in that album reminds me of someone, she has dark hair and bright eyes.

Enya = Aural Wallpaper

Only Enya I have is the one with Orinico Flow. Does she have better albums than that one?

 

[Audio-Omega]

I like all her albums, but they are not like Watermark (Orinoco Flow).

 

[Xena]

To me Watermark is the best. Then Shephard Moons and Memory of Trees. Then the newer ones (aggregate).

If you heard Watermark and Shepherd Moons, you've heard it all.

While her recent works are more "pared down" than before (some songs in Amarantine sound rather like contemporary folk), Enya shows no significant artistic development over the decades.

yes all her albums are fairly similar but there is usually one or 2 songs on each album that i really really like, most of the rest is just relaxing and pleasant, nice back ground noise
