Enya: The Official Online Store

One of Enya's most popular releases, 'Watermark' is an enchantingly dreamy album, featuring washes of keyboards and ethereal vocals. On the title track, the gentle piano melody mimics the sound of falling water, and Enya's multi-tracked voice cascades over the music like a calm wind on a rainy night. The most memorable composition on this 1988 record is the hit 'Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)'. Marked by its keyboard-generated staccato strings and infectious vocal hook, this piece is probably the singer's best-known (and best-loved) song. 'Cursum Perficio' features a gloomy vocal reminiscent of Carl Orff's 'Carmina Burana', while 'On Your Shore', 'Na Laetha Geal M'Oige', and 'Evening Falls' reflect Enya's traditional Celtic roots. 'Watermark' is much more than just a series of tranquil soundscapes. Truly unique.

With its traditional and classical elements and its broad acoustic vocabulary – ranging from Irish uilleann pipes to clarinets and even church organs – Watermark transcends the category of Celtic New Age. It is a tapestry of sound and image to be discovered over time, its evocations ultimately personal, subjective and definitely worth a journey of exploration - Rolling Stone
