Represents a milestone in the development of the new age/Celtic genre that Enya and her forerfunners, Clannad, invented.

It's remastered, with new color photos and liner notes detailing the inspiration behind the music, which is pure Enya.

Her trademarks – vaporous vocals, impressionistic music and Celtic mysticism – are all here.

Some of her songs, with their gorgeous melodies, are lovely, but others sail over the top and are just plain corny. This reissue ... is a mixture of both.

You keep hoping something interesting will develop somewhere along the way, but what we've got here, basically, is a set of simplistic, synthetic overtures.

The 15 compositions on "The Celts" are every bit as fresh and innovative as their successors, featuring the now trademark choral tracks dropped in liberally for New Age effect.

Her vocals are excellent as always, but to use so much electronics seems to take away from the subject matter – the earth-based religious Celtic people.

So come, all those who enjoyed Enya's ethereal wanderings of yore, and sup long from her musical cup.

It is the perfect thing to relax to and will please anyone who appreciates true beauty in music.
