Born Eithne Ni Bhraonain, this classically-trained pianist was kid sister in the musical family that became Clannad, joining the Irish band in 1979 but dropping out amicably three years later to pursue her own muse. This music, produced in the mid-'80s as the soundtrack to a BBC series, was released as her debut in 1987 and promptly ignored--yet its mix of atmospheric soundscapes and Enya's lush, layered vocals, sung in both English and Gaelic, is the template for her subsequent global hits, beginning with Watermark the following year. --Sam Sutherland

 BBC Historical Series Music Turns Into Great Album October 31, 2008
D. P. Bostaph (Murfreesboro, TN United States)
This album began as the theme music to a BBC educational series on the Celts.
But they got more than they bargained for, as Enya's enchanting, sylvan music wraps itself around your brain, & charms you completely.
 Great Enya Sound August 29, 2008

I knew this CD had been out for a while and if I would have known I would enjoy it so much I wouldn't have waited so long to purchase it. Great Enya sounds with a bit of a twist.

The Celts is haunting and beautiful. Enya captures the history and mystery of ancient Ireland in a most ear pleasing manner. I would recommend this album to anyone desiring a mood lift.

Something about the sound from this singer/songwriter that just gets to you.This was originally written for a series.I have never seen that series,but you can tell that the music would help it to be interesting.There is only one song i dont like much,and thats the second song Aldebaran.I like the rest of the CD though,with some stand outs.Funny thing is i dont know the name of most of her songs till i look them up.So i have actually got to play a bit of the song,so i know which songs match the names.So that just shows you,especially with the first 2 albums that you can just play the whole thing,and sort of drift away with it.I think this is slightly my favorite of the 2.My favorites are The Celts,March Of The Celts,Fairytail,Epona,Triad,Portrait,Boadicea,Bard Dance,Dan Y Dwr is also excellent,well thats just about the whole CD.I want Tomorrow and To Go Beyond 1 + 2 are great as well.So i havnt miss out on much,i try to pick my absolute favorites,but thats realy hard,because the songs like build up to something and flow into each other so well,and they realy are great to listen to.
Enya Music September 6, 2007

Loved this CD. Can't get enough Enya. I own every CD out thus far. The tones, soothing rythyms all are enchanting. Even the dark images and vibes brought to mind in her chants offer a perspective of music I never realized could be so entertaining. Those who have never listened to Enya have missed an appreciation of a beautiful music style.
