Just lose yourself - By: Mr. A. Whiteside, 10 Nov 2008 
This was the album that put Enya on the map musically & it's easy to see why.Haunting vocals,mystical music & an artist of rare talent.
With many fantastic songs including 'Orinoco Flow','Storms In Africa' & 'Evening Falls',this is an album you can switch on,chill out to & just lose yourself.It has stood the test of time too & sounds as refreshing today as when it was originally released.
'Watermark' is a fine album,indeed it is a classic of it's type.Enya may not be to everyone's taste but she is a refreshing alternative to so much of the manufactured pop around today & deserves the worldwide success she has achieved.
Lusty, with pure beauty! - By: T. Clarke, 06 Nov 2008 What can I say that hasn't been said? Love it! A combination of simplicity through the Roland D-50 used for the lead synths, & the multiple overlapping of vocals makes this a unique album - seamless, to be more precise. Obviously theirs nothing more to be said about Enya's vocal range, but her musical ability is fantastic; the way she contrasts low & high harmonies, to the accomplishment of giving this a universal 'world' sound is to be aspired by. If I was stranded on an island, this would bein my top 5 albums!
otherwordly - By: mrs thornton, 02 Jul 2008 i first fellin love with enya's music at the age of 10, when introduced to this fabulous album by my mum. i have since purchased three further copies of the cd (i have onein the car, & onein the house), after having worn out my first!!
i have all of eny's cd's, but this remains my favourite. i find the music absolutely moving, & must listen to at least some of the cd every single day, yet i have never once become bored of it (even after listening to it for the last 21 years!!!).
all tracks on this album are absolute perfection, butin particular, the fabulous "exile" which is both haunting & soothing, & almost leaves mein a trance whenever i listen to it.
i would recommend buying this cd to anybody!! i certainly will again when i have worn out my current copies!
The best album EVER !!! - By: Jay, 19 Feb 2007 I first listened to tis album when it just came outin 1989. After literally "chewing" up the cassette, I bought the CDin 1997, & the feeling was the same; the enthusiasm still there when one just buys a CD. Music changes, styles do, likewise music formats, but the passion of listening to a great album like this one remains. Listen to "On your Shore" - It's a classical masterpiece. Even Cursom Perficio;though sungin a foreign tongue, the melody is simply spiritual. Try listening to "Stormsin Africa; whilst drivingin the rain, just try it...
Watermark - Watered down! - By: kevin grindle, 24 Nov 2005 Like most of Enya's loyal fans, I bought Watermark shortly after it came out around 1988/89.I've often thought about buying copies since as gifts, but notice the more recent pressings have had one track removed. 'Stormsin Africa' originally had two parts, the second part being the last track.This has now been taken off the album, I think because they wanted it for the compilation album that came outin the late 1990s. A subtle move, but a bit sneaky on the part of Warner Music. Still a fine album though!
