Memory of Trees

Washington, D.C., USA

January 7, 1996

The album has a lyrical grace and spiritual power of its own, not to mention some pop smarts, and the combination is potent enough to make most new age offerings seem utterly dull by comparison.

Enya entertains with her effortless, ethereal vocals, of a generous helping of her trademark, almost supernatural harmonies, plus a couple of instrumentals.

Dayton, OH, USA

Nothing on the album rivals the memory of 1988's "Watermark," but fans will still be entranced by Enya Ni Bhraonain's lush synthscapes and soothing, multitracked vocal harmonies.

It's the kind of music that makes you smile for no apparent reason.

Knoxville, TN, USA

January 19, 1996

Her strength lies in the sweeping caresses of textured music, but the occasional lighthearted whim blends personality into what otherwise could be a too-cold mix.

Being known for a musical feel and style is one thing, but Enya is beating hers into the ground.
