Enya • Watermark
WEA Records WX274 246006-1
33-RPM LP
Brought to my attention by the wonderful Orinoco Flow, Watermark is Enya’s second album. It was released in 1988, and features eleven tracks, three of which were released as singles: the aforementioned Orinoco Flow, Evening Falls, and Exile. An extended version of the album featuring a fourth single, Storms in Africa (Part II), was available for a brief period.
Although Enya doesn’t consider it to be so, the beautiful ethereal music on the album is firmly in the New Age genre: this is definitely not an album to put on if you’re in the mood for a bit of head banging or air guitar playing!
The sound quality is also wonderful, so dim the lights, turn up the volume, relax, and enjoy!
