Amazon.com essential recording
Enya's 1988 recording Watermark achieved landmark success with her groundbreaking use of multi-tracking technology to fuse new age and Celtic themes and instrumentation. The meticulous production defines her sound and achieves continuity even while weaving together tender ballads, piano pieces, massively layered vocal harmonies, and symphonic synthesizer movements. Although Enya's pristine voice isn't especially strong, her lead vocals possess a vulnerability that reflects the lyrics' sense of personal searching. From the ubiquitous, frothy single "Orinoco Flow" (which was used to hawk Crystal Light on TV) to the hard, bold edge of "Cursum Perficio," Enya's style remains fresh and engaging today. --Richard Price

A favorite October 31, 2008
Don't miss this album!
"Storms In Africa" alone makes this worthwhile, & the rest is great fun!
Watermark Sets Stage October 27, 2008
This is my third copy of "Watermark," and second on CD. While I miss the smooth tones of my original DMM album, the CD nonetheless continues to amaze me. In "Watermark" Enya has created a lush tapestry of sound that manages to both sooth and surprise. Enya's song-writing, melodies and lovely voice are of course par excellence. What sticks with me just as much are Nicky Ryan's production values. This album sets the stage for Enya's trademark layered vocals - I believe they laid down something like 100 tracks on "Orinoco Flow." The end result is a seamless blend of sound that flows not unlike the river itself. "Watermark," along with "Day Without Rain," resonate as her best work.
 Easy listening July 2, 2008
Watermark
Just the kind of music I like, quiet and easy to listen to.
I love Enya March 28, 2008
This is one of my very favorite CDs. I've had it for years. I recently had to put my car in the shop and when I got it back, 5 of the 6 CDs in the changer were gone (er, STOLEN!), including this one. I had to immediately re-purchase it. I can't do without!

First time i heard Enya was back in 1988 with the song Orinoco flow.I thought the song had a good sound,but it wasnt exactly my type of music.It wasnt untill 1997 when i heard the song Watermark i started appreciating her music.I had heard some songs such as Storms In Africa,which at one stage was played on an add.But it wasnt till 2002 when i got some Albums.This album has got such a unique sound.The music fits into certain moods,uplifting realy.I have heard it played on alot of TV shows.Every now and then i put it on,it can help you reflect on things, and is not a distraction if you are concentrating.
