%) VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE | Editorial Reviews : Enya's 1988 recording Watermark achieved landmark success with her groundbreaking use of multi-tracking technology to fuse new age and Celtic themes and instrumentation. The meticulous production defines her sound and achieves continuity even while weaving together tender ballads, piano pieces, massively layered vocal harmonies, and symphonic synthesizer movements. Although Enya's pristine voice isn't especially strong, her lead vocals possess a vulnerability that reflects the lyrics' sense of personal searching. From the ubiquitous, frothy single 'Orinoko Flow' (which was used to hawk Crystal Light on TV) to the hard, bold edge of 'Cursum Perficio,' Enya's style remains fresh and engaging today.
Buyer Reviews : It's simply a masterpiece. My guess is that people will be listening to this music 100 years from now and it will still be available for purchase.
I bought the tape several years ago, which has different titles than the CD by the same name. I liked it even more than the CD version.
For months I used to listen to the title track each night as I went to sleep. Simply amazing! It would often bring tears to my eyes.
Although it was the song that brought me to her music, I have finally tired of Orinoco Flow (Sail Away.) It is the only song that I've tired of, and I listen to her CD's constantly.
I hesitate to say that Watermark is her best album because in Enya's case, each one is a masterpiece. Five stars? How about five galaxies!
As I read other people's comments and the beautiful expereinces that they have while listening, it reminds me a bit of the many miracles Jesus performed. His ability was to give to each person what they needed. Enya's music does much the same. Although she'd never say it, Enya is a living master, one of the all time gifts from God.
