Another sublime effort from Enya - By: Mr. A. Whiteside, 15 Nov 2008 
There is no doubt that you know just what you will get from an Enya album,multi layered vocals,soothing piano & haunting melodies.In that sense,you could say that she is predicatble but when this type of music is done so well it is hard to fault.'Shepherd Moons' is one of Enya's finest pieces of work with many fine tracks.
'Caribbean Blue','Book Of Days' & 'How Can I Keep From Singing?' are all classic Enya.If you just want to wind down after a tough day you could do a lot worse than to put on this CD & chill out.A class act.

TAKE THIS CD HOME - By: stuart, 10 Aug 2007 Calling Shepherd Moons a near carbon copy of Watermark puts it quite mildly. Like Watermark, Shepherd Moons opens with the title track, a calm instrumental, has another brief instrumental titled after a Dora Saint book smackin the middle ("No Holly for Miss Quinn"), & concludes with a number incorporating a striking uilleann pipes solo, "Smaointe...." In general, Enya's own musical style & work remains the same, again assisted on production by Nicky Ryan & with lyrics by Roma Ryan. Shepherd Moons does have one key factor that's also carried over from Watermark -- it's quite good listening. Though the total continuity means that those who enjoy her work will again be pleased & those who dislike it won't change their minds,in terms of finding her own vision & sticking with it, Enya has increasingly polished & refined her work to a strong, elegant degree. "Caribbean Blue," the lead single, avoids repeating the successful formula of "Orinoco Flow" by means of its waltz time -- a subtle enough change, but one that colors & drives the overall composition & performance, the closest Enya might ever get to a dance number. Some songs call to mind traditional Irish music even more strongly than much of her earlier work, while two other tracks are haunting rearrangements of old, traditional numbers. With her trademark understated dramain full flow many other places, especially on the wonderful "Book of Days" (replaced on later pressings with an English language version done for the film Far & Away), Enya shows herself to still have it, to grand effect.
shepherd moons - By: I Thomson, 24 Jul 2003 This album like her others is just brilliant if, like me you want to sitin peace & quiet & relax & let Enya's voice or music wash over you.
Smooth as Auditory Silk - By: , 14 Nov 1999 Are youin the mood to become so completely relaxed that you're totally unaware of your surroundings, all your stresses melt away (at least temporarily) & you find yourself easing uncontrollably into the realm of sleep? If yes, then this is the CD for you. This really is a great CD. In typical Enya style, you are enraptured by the wonderful wafts of sound which carry you away gently. The touches of Irish folk add some reality to the whole experience. Great music!
