 For those who must have everything by Enya May 23, 2002

Even compared to her work on "The Celts," this is different. I found it hard to hear much of her style in this, and there's a goofy synth sound that should have stayed out of the songs. Overall, the vocal tracks are the best, the theme is nice, but gets slightly repetitive. A good disc, and a very interesting part of Enya's history. I recommend trying it before you buy it.
 Very beautifully done soundtrack April 1, 2000

All right, it didn't have Enya's later ambient or Celtic style. It had more of a jazz and sometimes French style. However, it was very beautifully done! Each of these tracks by Enya and even the jazz tracks by other artists were very well done. The musical instruments played very smoothly and calmly. Enya also sang "The Frog Prince" and "Dreams" very lovely. The music was not over done and created an interesting mood. This is a very well made early work.
It's Enya with a saxophone-a bit odd January 23, 1999

The CD is not all Enya. There is four jazz songs by other people on there, and a French song. Enya's songs do not sound like her. I think it has a lot to do with the main instrument being a saxophone, but it probably just needs getting used to.
 Interesting album, not what I expected November 14, 2005

I bought this CD because it seems to be Enya's first post-Clannad album and I thought I'd just try it out.
You get a 16 track recording, only 11 of which appear to be Enya's work, 4 are some Jazz Club something and one is by Edith Piaf. It doesn't really sound anything much like her later work which I found to be disappointing. Two songs have her singing, a couple more have vocalizations but it all has a less polished sound compared to The Celts onward. It all manages to come across as early 80's romantic soundtrack stuff, not bad but not really what I wanted.
A wonderful Fore' into her solor career February 2, 1999

I first picked this CD up when I was picking through the bargain bin, and to my surprise it was one of Enya's earlier works. I listened to it expecting to hear something akin to her later works, such as Shepard Moons or maybe Watermark. This is not the case here. The music she actually does perform is light and airy, similar to her later work. Her voice doesn't reach the depth or near the strength that she has in her later works. In all this CD is still pretty good. As for the saxophone tracks, I actually thought they were very well done. This CD is excellent for driving music.
