1	Watermark (1988) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist Thanks to its distinct, downright catchy single "Orinoco Flow," which amusingly referenced both her record-company boss Rob Dickins and co-producer Ross Cullum in the lyrics, Enya's second album Watermark established her as the unexpected queen of gentle, Celtic-tinged new age music. To be sure, her success was as much due to marketing a niche ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.85!
2	A Day Without Rain (2000) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist Enya's first full-length album of new material in five years (and her fourth in 12 years) will have a familiar sound to the millions who have followed her career so far. As usual, the slow songs sound like "Silent Night" being performed in a cathedral, and the less slow songs are paced by rhythm patterns that would be called pizzicato passages if ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.72!
3	The Mask and Mirror (1994) more music like this by Loreena McKennitt add to wishlist Press play and enter the world of Loreena McKennitt, where walls dissolve into thick, billowing mists as the ground beneath your feet turns to compacted earth and the sky above opens up to reveal a black cloak dotted with shimmering stars draped beneath silk-like clouds. Were McKennitt's composing and songwriting abilities lacking of any luster ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.32!
4	A Christmas Celebration (2006) more music like this by Celtic Woman add to wishlist Manhattan's 15-track holiday compilation Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration features traditional yuletide classics like "Away in a Manger," "Little Drummer Boy," "O Holy Night," and "Silent Night" sung by some of the genre's loveliest sirens and accompanied by the occasional harp, cello, violin, and keyboard. Fans of Enya and Clannad will find ... see all copies from $12.34! new only from $12.34!
5	The Memory of Trees (1995) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist No surprises here, of course -- Enya didn't achieve new age superstardom by challenging anyone's expectations. This album is every bit as hushed, lovely, and soulless as everything else she's ever done; like a perfect angel food cake, it's sweet, soft, and utterly lacking in nutritive substance. There's nothing the matter with angel food cake, of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.44!
6	Shepherd Moons (1991) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist 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 smack in the middle ("No Holly for Miss Quinn"), and concludes with a number incorporating a striking uilleann pipes solo, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.88!
7	A New Journey (2007) more music like this by Celtic Woman add to wishlist Celtic Woman, a Riverdance-inspired PBS phenomena that boasts the talents of several female leads and a whole lot of orchestra and genre instruments like pipes, bodhrans, and fiddles, gives contemporary Celtic the Il Divo treatment on New Journey, a lovely and occasionally over the top collection of familiar melodies and grandiose sentiments that ... see all copies from $14.35! new only from $14.35!
8	The Visit (1991) more music like this by Loreena McKennitt add to wishlist Loreena McKennitt's fourth release, and first for a major label, is a quietly majestic tapestry of worldbeat and Celtic pop that effortlessly weaves together traditional and contemporary songs into lush showcases for her fluid voice and harp. The multi-talented Canadian utilizes all of her strengths here, resulting in her most rewarding batch of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.40!
9	An Ancient Muse (2006) more music like this by Loreena McKennitt add to wishlist Canadian Celtic/new age/worldbeat architect Loreena McKennitt may be an odd choice for the legendary jazz label that released benchmark albums from Charlie Parker and Miles Davis, but Verve may have been moved by the undeniably talented harpist/composer/vocalist's large collection of globe-spanning gold, platinum, and multi-platinum sales awards. ... see all copies from $12.19! new only from $15.18!
10	The Celts (1987) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist Initially released simply as Enya, The Celts shows that the style she became famous for on Watermark was already well under way. With production and lyrical help fully in place thanks to her husband-and-wife gurus Nicky and Roma Ryan, Enya's combination of Celtic traditionalism and distinctly modern approach finds lush flower here. All the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.88!
11	The Best of Van Morrison [Mercury] (1990) more music like this by Van Morrison add to wishlist For an artist who's doggedly album-oriented, plus a songwriter who revels in subtlety, Van Morrison doesn't seem like a logical candidate for a successful greatest-hits compilation. Nevertheless, The Best of Van Morrison is a crackerjack compilation, tracing Van the Man from his days with Them, through his best-known tunes ("Brown-Eyed Girl," ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $39.88!
12	Celtic Woman [Manhattan] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Manhattan Records' release of Celtic Woman is a compilation/collaboration between five unknown vocalists, introduced only by their first names (Chloë, Lisa, Órla, Méav, and Máiréad), who take turns chirping Irish ballads as heard through a dramatic, lush new age filter. Via reverb-heavy and thick keyboard atmospherics, the singers cover ... see all copies from $11.04! new only from $11.04!
13	Liege & Lief (1969) more music like this by Fairport Convention add to wishlist In the decades since its original release, more than one writer has declared Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief the definitive British folk-rock album, a distinction it holds at least in part because it grants equal importance to all three parts of that formula. While Fairport had begun dipping their toes into British traditional folk with their ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
14	Amarantine (2005) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist Second only to U2 as the most successful Irish recording artist of all time, Enya has built an empire out of multi-tracking her beautiful voice over the same keyboard patches that appeared on her post-Clannad debut since 1987. It's an empire that has progressed at a slow burn, peaking in 2000 and 2001 with her chart-topping ballad and unofficial ... see all copies from $4.61! new only from $5.42!
15	Garden State (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to Zach Braff's Garden State is nearly as much of a piece with the film as the similarly sweet, quirky combinations of sound and vision in Wes Anderson's films and soundtracks. Garden State, however, is more modern in its outlook and more emotionally direct, with a mixtape earnestness belied by using not one but two songs from the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.54!
16	Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya (1997) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya is an excellent 16-song overview of Enya's career, containing 14 selections from The Celts, Watermark, Shepherd Moon, and The Memory of Trees -- including "Caribbean Blue," "Anywhere Is," "Marble Halls," "Book of Days," and, of course, "Orinoco Flow" -- as well as two previously unreleased songs ("Only If ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $14.98!
17	Celtic Christmas, Vol. 3 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist From the opening track's mournful oboe, cor anglais and uillean pipes it's obvious this will be an excursion into a Celtic evening. But what starts out engaging enough, with David Arkenstone's artful blending of synthesizer and pennywhistle to the vocals of Triona Ni Dhmohnaill and Lisa Lunne's Celtic harp, soon turns dark. The tunes conjure ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $6.50!
18	The Book of Secrets (1997) more music like this by Loreena McKennitt add to wishlist The Book of Secrets, the follow-up to 1994's The Mask and Mirror -- there was a Christmas EP, A Winter Garden, released in 1995) -- finds Loreena McKennitt in the same musical vein, mixing Celtic, Spanish, Italian, and new age to create her own distinct sound. The only problem is that she did not seem to progress much during the time between ... see all copies from $2.19! new only from $9.99!
19	Rant and Roar (1998) more music like this by Great Big Sea add to wishlist Essentially a compilation for the U.S. market, where the first three albums were unreleased, Rant and Roar samples tracks from the more commercially oriented second and third albums. While some great tracks are missing (notably a few from the first album), the songs included on this collection nevertheless provide a pretty representative and ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $8.71!
20	Celtic Christmas, Vol. 2 [Windham Hill] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist If you prefer your contemplative Christmas music with a Celtic/folk undercurrent rather than a jazz/new age one, then Windham Hill's Celtic Christmas series is a dependable choice. As an added benefit, you can bathe in relatively obscure traditional Celtic airs rather than yet another collection of the hoary carol standards. The second volume ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.83!
21	Beautiful Vision (1982) more music like this by Van Morrison add to wishlist Beautiful Vision shares much sonically with its predecessor, Common One, being heavy on long, winding song-poems, moderate tempos, dense lyricism, and dated production. Still, this winds up being a stronger articulation of what Morrison was attempting to do on Common One -- much like how Wavelength got A Period of Transition right. That doesn't ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $6.50!
22	Gaelic Storm (1998) more music like this by Gaelic Storm add to wishlist The P.R. copy on the back cover of Gaelic Storm's self-titled 1998 debut credits the band's enthusiasm and verve with landing them the gig that brought them to the attention of mainstream America: their flashy cameo appearance in James Cameron's megablockuster film Titanic. The album does indeed bear out that claim. This foot-tapping collection of ... see all copies from $2.83! new only from $9.78!
23	Water From the Well (2000) more music like this by The Chieftains add to wishlist Ever since 1988's Irish Heartbeat, the Chieftains relied on guest artists on their own albums, ranging from Celtic peers to pop, rock, and country superstars, since the cameos virtually guaranteed that each new album would be treated as an event. That's also the case with 2000's Water in the Well, a traditional Irish folk/Celtic album filled with ... see all copies from $2.48! new only from $6.06!
24	VH1 Presents the Corrs: Live in Dublin (2002) more music like this by The Corrs add to wishlist You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.56!
25	From the Witchwood (1971) more music like this by The Strawbs add to wishlist This album was originally the weak link in the transition of the Strawbs from an acoustic folk-rock outfit to a progressive-folk band, being neither fish nor fowl and suffering from an anemic mix. The 1998 British reissue (A&M 540-939-2), however, solves some inherent problems that plagued both the original vinyl edition and the first CD reissues. ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
