If you can get past the hauntingly ethereal sound that is Enya's most obvious quality, this is an exceptional video.

She is careful ... to marry the deliberately smooth keyboard melodies to the altogether more rigid and energetic rhythms of traditional Irish music, chucking a touch of pop sensibility along the way.

I've a soft spot for the simple purity and freshness of the sounds on offer here since it was first released.

Not as fully realised as her breakthrough album "Watermark," but the familiar elements of airy vocals and great squishy pillows of background sound are there.

Highly expressive instrumental music, crafted to dissolve upon the listener as much as impose itself.

As atmospheric background music it's very difficult to fault, conjuring up images of the Celtic twilight with the understated sense of mystery which has become an Enya trademark.

Although many of Enya's strengths are in evidence here ... most appear in semi-embryonic state, without the polish and maturity that makes her later work so memorable.

The melodies meander, the baroque synthesized production seems cluttered and dated and her voice lacks the dynamic range that made “Watermark” and “Shepherd Moons” such gently mystical delights.
