Album Notes & Community Reviews

Cementing her status as a global phenomenon, Enya's 'Shepherd Moons' is a deeply peaceful and incredibly lush masterclass in Celtic New Age. The album layers heavily multi-tracked ethereal vocals with highly melodic, atmospheric synthesizers, creating a profoundly soothing and aquatic acoustic landscape.
