Her voice, reedy and under heavy rein, is swaddled in electronics; at times, it is indistinguishable from its accompanying synthesizers.

The brilliant music of Enya is refreshingly unlike anything you'll hear on today's pop scene.

The Irish singer-musician's softly Gaelic videos are colorized, brushed productions that amplify her delicate moods.

For the most part, the selections ... suffer from overproduction, resulting in a wall of generic sound suitable only as background for meditation, or maybe dusting furniture.

Showcases Enya's visual finesse and disappoints only in its brevity.
