Enya - Watermark

About Watermark by Enya Album

Watermark is the second studio album by Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released on 19 September 1988 by WEA Records. After the release of her previous album Enya (1987), she secured a recording contract with Warner after a chance meeting with chairman Rob Dickins, who had become a fan of her music. Her contract allowed her considerable artistic and creative freedom, with minimal interference from the label and no deadlines to have albums finished. Enya recorded Watermark in ten months with her longtime collaborators, manager, producer and arranger Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan. It was initially recorded in Ireland in demo form before production relocated to London to re-record, mix, and master it digitally. Watermark features music in different styles, displaying Enya's sound of multi-tracked vocals with keyboards, percussion instruments, and elements of Celtic, ambient, and New age music, though Enya believes her music does not belong in the latter genre.

- The Album

I was shocked to see that this album was selling for so much. This is a beautiful relic from the past, and the lion share of the money made already, album is worth more like 6.99, but in this economy it's worth is less like 4.99. Great album...beautiful...but not at this price...and to charge 1.29 for the more popular songs...annoying...this is why people steal music...the music industry was out of touch...and now itunes is as well.

- Enya's music

I grew up listening to Enya's Watermark and Memory of Trees. My mom owned the CDs and one day I snook them to my room, stuck my earbuds in the CD player and sat down to listen. I instantly fell in love.

- Phenomenal...

I was introduced to Enya as a child by my aunt and uncle. I am now 25 and have been a loyal fan since childhood. Her music has brought me peace during A recent deployment to Afghanistan; frequently I turned to her music to bring me comfort & relaxation in times of extreme circumstances. Here music is truly one of a kind, and I will forever be a dedicated fan of hers.

- Enya does it again (as usual!)

I think I've said this a milllon times but I love Enya. This CD has some of her BEST songs though like Watermark, Orinoco Flow and Cursum Perficio. All of Enya's songs are very well done. This is the perfect relaxation album, as are all the other awesome Enya albums.

- Watermark

Enya's music has always put me in a state of relaxation. Her music has always transitioned me from be to night. At night, I always play this on my iPod and end up falling asleep. This album is just so relaxing and beautiful, and I recommend it to anyone. If you like this album, you'll LOVE her other work. Go check out all of her albums. You'll love them all.

- ENYA a beatle type genius writer

this is the second album I recieved of Enya after hearing Orinoco Flow but they are all great just like the other albums Enya has produced since shepards moon

- Brings back memories...

Used to listen to this with my late father who passed in '04. It's sometimes tough to listen to her nowadays but at the same time it helps as well.

- enya

I'm also the only one in my group of friends that has heard of enya. It's a shame! her music is inspiring and beautiful, it makes me so happy and it's a good for dealing with stress.

- Unique

She is great! just love her music.

- River

I loved it 25 years ago. It's truly wonderful listening today.

- Every time...

Every time I hear her voice, no matter how angry I am, her soothing, soft, and heart-and-mind-and-body-and-soul-touching music can instantly take me to a new world: A world with no problems; no mistakes; no faults; and best of all, beautiful serenity. I can be about to kill someone, and all I have to do is push "Play"; then, by the power of her words, I can be taken away from earth and to The Garden of Eden, all with words. Enya, you must have camera's rigged inside my house; because every time I hear your melodic voice, I'm robbed of my anger and stress. So, here's to you; for keeping me sane. -Katlynne

- Who's that loser Gorgous?

you read every page because you know that anonymous has a comment on every page, however you don't actually contribute on every page with a comment like anonymous. How much spare time do you have? btw the musics fairly good, not exactly my thing but good for what it is. my favorite is storms in africa

- Calming

Very Peaceful. Cleanses the soul.

- Wonderful

Since the first day I heard her album Watermark I have loved Enya. She ha a beautiful voice that soothes me.

- I got this CD when i was 6

I have loved Enya ever since i heard her i did a company ballet dance to Watermark and Cursum Perficio and we won platinum i love this CD and unlikle most teenagers i actualy listen to this music ever once in a while.

- Amazing!

This album is just... wow! I don't think there are words to describe anything of Enya's! Some songs such as Orinoco Flow are warm like the sun, while others like Evening Falls are mysterious like the moon. The diversity in this album, and all the rest, is what makes Enya's work so wonderful! If you don't know if you should buy it, just do it! You won't be dissapointed!

- !!!

enya is awesome!!!!! cursum perficio is my fav. cursum perficio, marble halls (in shepard moons), storms in africa (1 and 2), carribean blue (in shepard moons), evening falls, and exile are TOTALLY FREAKING WONDERFUL!!!!!!! =D

- I LOVE Enya and I always will!!!!!!!!!

I am the only person in the entire school who has heard of Enya ever since I was in kindergarden... all of Enya fans are amazing. Enya is so beautiful and i love her music. I am writing a book bases on the feelings i get from listening to her music.

- Great, but not the best

This is a pretty good album, but it's not my favorite Enya album. There are only a few standouts on this album. My favorite song is probably Watermark, but Orinoco Flow, Cursum Perficio, and Exile are very good too. The others are a bit too boring in my opinion, but they are still pretty good. I probably won't understand why Enya fans favor this album so much. It just isn't as great as some of her other stuff.

- Fantastic, timeless, genre-starting album

There was no artist who captured the movement of what we now see and hear on the radio or in spas, gyms or anywhere where mindfulness it a "thing." This album got me through so many days at work I cannot count, difficult times of my life, great times of my life, she is simply a ground-breaking artist. Many have followed Enya, but she remains the Goddess of Mindfulness Pop. Her genre can only be described as something that is all-encompassing: "meditation pop" is the best I can think of for this review. To think this has spanned over 3 decades and sounds new every time you play it. There is no time for it, there is no place for it. You can play this at dinner or with some songs, before a sporting event, or even if you are in the hospital recovering (as I did myself). 5-stars is not enough for this album, it should have 7.

- Black and White!!

I am so happy to see other people love her music so much!!! I am mixed race but grew up in a black household and neighborhood . Having had that said I am sure most of see why I am so happy to find other who love her music. The first time I heard Enya I was taking piano lessons at a friends house after school one day. Her mother played this album and I wanted to learn how to play it on the piano instantly!! I begged her to teach me. lol It didnt work out. I actually sing thousands of times better than I could play. lol I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT THOUGH!! And when I heard Storms In Africa I cried. I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD. I went home and told my mother about it, she had no idea what I was talking about and wouldnt even let me buy the tape. I went out with my chore money later that week and bought it myslef. To this day I listen to her everyday, have every album. And have chose an entire hour of her music with a little Hans Zimmer thrown in there for the dinner hour at my wedding this summer. Its the only music I really can digest and appreciate. My family still does'nt understand how I can listen to her and classical everyday. But its such amazing beautiful music. Who would'nt? If there was ever a way for a black female to sing this style of music I would do it in a heartbeat.

- Haunting and beautiful

Enya's music is very unique, beautiful and haunting. I love how the production is so simple and sparse, yet so effectively brings out the mood of every song. Her voice is beautiful and soothing, and it always uplifts me!

- Enya

Memories cannot be replaced listening to Enya..best ever!!!

- warbaby43

this album soars……..and takes me along

- watermark

I think everything ENYA has done is wonderful!!! Her style is unmatched and uniquely different to be offered in an age of sexually explicit material. Kudos to her for sticking to her interest.

- Gorgeous!

I have loved Enya for quite some time cosidering I was born to the sounds of her. She is so original, and I don't konw of anyone who sings quite like her. I always turn to Enya when I just need some quiet alone time. I'm sure she will come out with more, and more great soothing music for years to come.

- Watermark the thriller

Watermark i think is one of enyas best work. this album is so different from all the others because its got so much life put into it. The music is incredible, and has a ocean like twist put into almost every track. I reccomend 1.Cursum Perficio 2.Storms In Africa 3.Exile 4.Orinoco Flow (sail away) 5.The Longships 6.Evening Falls

- Peace & Serenity: Exile

The track 'Exile' was played at a friends' funeral, and it is both haunting and beautiful.

- feels like your on the beach

mostly all the songs on this album remind of the ocean and the beach. i give an easy 5 rating!

- Amazing

I remember when I was a little girl my mom use to play Enya's music in the car so that we wouldn't be loud. My sister and I would try to sing along but we couldn't understand the words so we just made them up. Now that I am older and I can truly appreciate her work, I have found listening to her to calm me down and create a relaxing atmosphere. All of my friends think that her music is weird, but I find it truly beautiful. <3 :)

- Memories...

My parents loved this music when I was little, and I recently rediscovered her, and memories of my childhood came floodig back. This album takes me back to a time when i felt happy, and had no worries or troubles. Great album, great artist, enya has been with me since i can remember.

- I love Enya!

All of Enya's songs are so beautiful. They're good for yoga or just lying in your bed and being still. BUY THEM!

- Watermark

Great album!

- 🦆

NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM

- Watermark is one of the finest albums of the early 90's

Great songs, a masterpiece from start to finish, although thier are other good albums from her, this one is her best in my opinion.

- the best.

a timeless piece that you can listen to over and over.

- Great album

I first heard this album in 1988. I had this cassette in my tape player while stationed in W. Germany on dispersal. Always listening to this cassette. Then my batteries died. Great singer this woman is.

- Fantastic

This is a beautful album made by my ALL-TIME FAVORITE ARTIST.

- Great Work

I am a long time fan of Enya. She has very spiritually inspiring talent with music.

- 😌

Hola! I love this album. Some of the songs I skip though, usually the songs I skip are just songs with no talking, and I usually get bored sometimes when I listen to songs that have no talking because I find lots of things boring. But I love this it’s awesome and calming and great and also brings back memories of traveling to the mountains with my family or going camping. Definitely recommend!

- Amazing...

First off, I love a mix of genres, from rap to metal to rock and alternative, and everything in between. That being said, you may wonder how I came to write a review for an enya album. Quite simply, I saw everyones stories about their mothers playing it for them, and couldn't help but recall when my mother would do the same at the dinner table. Enya has an amazing, soothing voice, and her songs allow an individual to put themselves in any calm setting they desire.

- Dark side of a new age moon

Its hard to believe this was first in record stores back in 1988 . It sounds as lovey and haunting as ever . Every song is better than the one before. Not only her best work , but one of the best albums ever !!!

- watermark

one of the quintesencial albulms, ever.

- Awesomeness

My dad got me into her music when I was about fourth or fifth grade or maybe six grade. One of her songs was on a compilation album that he had in the car.

- i love her work!!! :D

I am only 15 and i love her work i loved hearing it win i am going to sleep win i wus 5-10 it made me sleep betterevery night is the same thing but i loved it!!!

- i love enya

i love enya she is a beautiful singer i own every single cd she has.. i love her music!!

- stands the test of time

A wonderful reminder of one of the best New Age artists.

- Curium Perficio Just rules.

Cursum Perficio just kills me dead. A sirens voice sung by a muse and music created from the time of creation. I hear this song and imagine how the universe was created . Enya starts off slow then increases her genius sound more powerful and powerful til the end when Cursum Perficio rules. She believes. The Grand Master of flowers.

- Absolutely Beautiful...

I've never heard such beautiful music in my entire life. Music of this quality is hard to find these days. Her songs are of meaning, and her voice is beautiful, as well as her own self. I recommend getting as many of her songs as possible.

- Absolutly Beautiful

She is one of those rare artists who use there music to inspire people. I cry everytime I listen to her songs. I just stumbled upon her and she is the best thing i have heard in a really long time. And although i am a teenager I know what real music sounds like and this is it.

Watermark Wiki

A watermark is an identifying image or pattern in paper that appears as various shades of lightness/darkness when viewed by transmitted light (or when viewed by reflected light, atop a dark background), caused by thickness or density variations in the paper. Watermarks have been used on postage stamps, currency, and other government documents to discourage counterfeiting. There are two main ways of producing watermarks in paper; the dandy roll process, and the more complex cylinder mould process. Watermarks vary greatly in their visibility; while some are obvious on casual inspection, others require some study to pick out. Various aids have been developed, such as watermark fluid that wets the paper without damaging it. A watermark is very useful in the examination of paper because it can be used for dating documents and artworks, identifying sizes, mill trademarks and locations, and determining the quality of a sheet of paper. The word is also used for digital practices that share similarities with physical watermarks. In one case, overprint on computer-printed output may be used to identify output from an unlicensed trial version of a program. In another instance, identifying codes can be encoded as a digital watermark for a music, video, picture, or other file.
