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.

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.

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.

This, of course, doesn't come across as the Enya we know and love, but it is a beautifully done sound track. She only sings two songs (and it's a short--37 minutes--CD), but it definitely belongs in every true Enya fan's collection. Besides the 11 cuts that she composed, there are four pleasantly done jazz standards, and a song from Edith Piaf. By the way, those two songs are beautiful...not like her present work, but beautiful in their own right.

When I saw this CD I just said "I have to have it". It certainly sounds like Enya's early work since it is soft and tender. Her voice doesn't reach the depth it does on the new songs but still is an excellent job. I would say it helps somehow to understand Enya's evolution through her music.
