Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled by the massive crossover success of 'Orinoco Flow', 'Watermark' established Enya's signature multi-tracked vocal style. The album pairs lush, synthesized soundscapes with traditional Celtic melodic structures, resulting in a profoundly soothing, ethereal atmosphere that popularized the new age genre.
