 Amazon.com essential recording: New Age diva Enya first became widely known when her 1988 album Watermark sold 4 million copies and launched the single "Orinoco Flow." Her follow-up, Shepherd Moons, was even more successful, selling over 10 million copies despite its slightly lower grade of ethereal enchantment. In 1997 she released Paint the Sky with Stars, an assortment of her best work from these two early albums plus gems from 1995's The Memory of Trees and the soundtrack to the BBC series The Celts. The most melodic and atmospheric examples of Enya's lovely Celtic-flavored songwriting shine on this disc. Those unfamiliar with the former Clannad member will find charm in such sweet lullabies as "Marble Halls" and "China Roses" while delighting in the more energetic "Book of Days," "Storms in Africa," and "Caribbean Blue." Overall, an outstanding collection from an artist who gives New Age a good name. --Karen Karleski Amazon.com: New Age diva Enya first became widely known when her 1988 album Watermark sold 4 million copies and launched the single "Orinoco Flow."

Everyone who hears this loves it and listens to it over and over! Rating:  Date: 2008-06-16 Float on the music ... let it take you away .
I have been without my music for four years, and I forgot just how lucious Enya is. This is soul soothing, Celtic music with the beauty of her perfect voice blending over the back-up band -- Gorgeous.
I have never heard a bad Enya recording -- so whatever you choose, I believe that you will find a little bit of heaven when you close your eyes and let the sounds wash over you.
Rating:  Date: 2008-06-12 Not a must have. If your new to Enya this is a good little introduction.
Some classic tracks, but a few throw away ones as well.
Not a must have.
But if your curious....get it. Rating:  Date: 2008-05-15 New and disappointed I purchased this new. The case was busted. I would have returned this item. However, I bought this as a gift. I have always trusted Amazon, and been very satisfied in the past.
Very disappointed. Rating:  Date: 2008-04-10 Enya music Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya
