alextrusca Posted November 18, 2015 at 02:48 PM Posted November 18, 2015 at 02:48 PM I am also excited about the new album, you can hear it on Cloud Stream, the 11 tracks I mean. The 3 additional bonus tracks can be heard on iTunes and they are unique in my opinion. I love "Even in the shadows", sound amazing! 2 Quote
Daysleeper Posted November 18, 2015 at 03:14 PM Posted November 18, 2015 at 03:14 PM Thanks, but I will wait to get the CD to hear the songs 1 Quote
alextrusca Posted November 19, 2015 at 08:47 AM Posted November 19, 2015 at 08:47 AM I wanna hear the entire CD too, but it will arrive on the 25th of november, long long journey until then, haha Quote
Unisono Posted November 19, 2015 at 12:37 PM Posted November 19, 2015 at 12:37 PM I'm impatient to hear the new album. I've been a fan since many years. However I hope the new album will bring something new. I heard only two new songs from the new album and even I do like them, I feel they are too much similar to some songs she created before. Sort of copy-paste. First four albums were much diverse in my opinion. I have impression that after "A Day Without Rain" she started to repeat herself. I also hope she will make some great videoclips for her new songs. They are all unique I agree with you. There's the era pre a day without rain and the era post a day without rain. But this new album is quite original. I like Echoes in rain a lot, it deserves a great video (something like Only if... which is my fav so far) and So I Could Find My Way. There are some others great songs on the album and a truly amazing track that it's going to be my fav from this album which is "Pale grass blue". Hope you'll agree with me tomorrow. To me this album has nothing to do with Amarantine (I don't like this album) and And winter came, but could be a "The memory of trees"part two. 1 Quote

Ok, now I'm even more curious about it I miss the songs in Gaelic. She used to make more songs in that language.I don't like Amarantine either. I think "The Memory of Trees" is my favorite. "Watermark" and "Shepherd Moons" are close behind. 1 Quote

A Day Without Rain is good. It's different from the early works. Love most of the tracks. Maybe there's too much "pizzicato"... (listen to "astra et luna" from dark sky island...you'll hear "wild child") and this sound is heavily heard in Amarantine and And Winter Came and in this new album but in the last one in a diffrent way because it recalls "anywhere is" or "only if" and, well, this can't be a bad thing! No gaelic but loxian... don't know what to say about it. 1 Quote
Frenchie Posted November 20, 2015 at 04:38 PM Posted November 20, 2015 at 04:38 PM (edited) Just got this album this morning! Listening to Adele first, but then I will give this a spin or two or three! And let you know what I think! Edited November 20, 2015 at 04:43 PM by Frenchie Quote
Unisono Posted November 20, 2015 at 09:19 PM Posted November 20, 2015 at 09:19 PM This album is really beautiful. The extra tracks are even better than some of the standard edition. Pale Grass Blue is beyond perfection. A sorta fairytale to me. Quote
alextrusca Posted November 21, 2015 at 07:58 AM Posted November 21, 2015 at 07:58 AM I actually adore Solace and Pale Grass Blue. These 2 should have been on the regular edition. They are standouts! 2 Quote
Tjt39 Posted January 21, 2016 at 09:23 AM Posted January 21, 2016 at 09:23 AM Have always loved enya and her music is so relaxing I got her new album for Christmas x Quote You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on 💜💜💗💕
Javito Posted December 6, 2016 at 10:19 PM Posted December 6, 2016 at 10:19 PM Dark Sky Island (2015) has been nominated in the category for "Best New Age album" :blush: 1 Quote "Hush, now... I see a light in the sky"
Daysleeper Posted December 7, 2016 at 01:44 PM Posted December 7, 2016 at 01:44 PM I'm glad she earned this nomination. Dark Sky Island is still growing on me. It's a very fine album. 1 Quote
Javito Posted December 7, 2016 at 02:20 PM Posted December 7, 2016 at 02:20 PM (edited) It's still growing on me too. I liked it more than Amarantine but it's still not at pair with her precedent albums (A Day Without Rain, The Memory Of Trees, Watermark and Shepherd Moons). I still think the loxian songs should be ommitted And I miss one instrumental and one Gaelic song too. Edited December 7, 2016 at 02:20 PM by Javito 1 Quote "Hush, now... I see a light in the sky"

I have a feeling that with Amarantine she started to do some copy-paste. I miss instrumantals too and especially songs in Gaelic. I liked this irish vibe from Watermark. 1 Quote
alextrusca Posted December 9, 2016 at 09:04 AM Posted December 9, 2016 at 09:04 AM I am happy to hear Enya was nominated for a Grammy for the Best New Age album - as far as I can remember, And Winter Came was also nominated, but only for best artwork. The music itself got no nomination back then. I miss her Irish songs a lot these days - I was listening a week ago to "Deora Ar Mo Chroi" and "Isobella". I wish she would do some more Irish songs. However, DSI is a strong album. Still listening to this day to "Astra et luna", "Sancta Maria", "Solace", "The Humming" and "Remember your smile". Hope she wins the Grammy in Feb. 2017! 1 Quote
Javito Posted December 9, 2016 at 09:35 AM Posted December 9, 2016 at 09:35 AM Also, don't forget they're rereleasing her first albums on vinyl, some of them for the very first time like The Memory Of Trees 2 Quote "Hush, now... I see a light in the sky"
alextrusca Posted December 9, 2016 at 01:36 PM Posted December 9, 2016 at 01:36 PM wow - that looks so pretty!! the LP looks amazing Javi!! i haven't bought the vinyls because i don't own a vinyl player, but i wondered why she never released TMOT on vinyl! and here it is. the vinyl disc is soo pretty! hopefully Enya releases A day without rain on vinyl as well. 1 Quote
Daysleeper Posted December 9, 2016 at 03:13 PM Posted December 9, 2016 at 03:13 PM "The Memory of Trees" is probably my favorite although it's hard to compare them as I said earlier they all have different vibes to me. "Athair ar neamh" is one of my favorite Enya songs ever, along with "On My Way Home".I have only "Watermark" on vinyl. Quote
alextrusca Posted December 9, 2016 at 04:07 PM Posted December 9, 2016 at 04:07 PM yes, "Athair ar neamh" is an extremely beautiful song - I also adore it. Her voice is divine on that track. What I love about "Watermark" and "Shepherd Moons" is that they both close with Gaelic songs - Na Laetha ... and Smaointe which are also 2 songs that I treasure. And when Enya released A Box of Dreams, I remember both songs are on the same disc and they flow one into the other quite very well. 1 Quote
Javito Posted December 9, 2016 at 04:59 PM Posted December 9, 2016 at 04:59 PM wow - that looks so pretty!! the LP looks amazing Javi!! i haven't bought the vinyls because i don't own a vinyl player, but i wondered why she never released TMOT on vinyl! and here it is. the vinyl disc is soo pretty! hopefully Enya releases A day without rain on vinyl as well. That's the one I'm waiting for. A Day Without Rain it's my all time favourite album from her, and one of my favourite albums ever Next one coming on vinyl in January is And Winter Came. Get ready 1 Quote "Hush, now... I see a light in the sky"
alextrusca Posted December 9, 2016 at 05:35 PM Posted December 9, 2016 at 05:35 PM i think i will start collecting vinyls too LOL - the only vinyl i have is the Orinoco Flow picture disc Enya released with the The Very Best Of Enya Collector's box that also contains that gorgeous glossy full size booklet! 1 Quote
