Everyone loves her. Don't be scared to admit it.

Charming Tedious Records (my humble microlabel) is now accepting submissions for an Enya tribute comp to be released fall 2004.

email me if you're interested in contributing.

otherwise, say what you love about Enya!

My favorite band The B@dger King has agreed to cover "Orinoco Flow", which by itself makes this project worthwhile.

Can I bags "Anywhere is"?

I once used to be a regular reader of this Scandinavian music magazine, who, on page three, always had this little explanation of their review grades. Small taglines like 'Excellent' and 'Disappointing'. The people at the mag always had fun giving the lowest grade (zero stars out of six) a new description with every issue. It could be: 'Gavin Rossdales bollocks' or 'We like Frasier'. But when they, in one issue, named that lowest grade 'We're sampling Enya', I think they hit the spot.

Did they hate the Fugees?

I bet Jim surfacenoise would be interested in this comp.

anyone who thinks enya is unhip with all the press kompakt's ambient stuff has been getting is deluding themselves.

also, "sampling enya" led to "todd edwards", so fuck off scandinavian music toilet paper.

Anyone who compares enya to yanni hasn't given her a serious listen.

The melodies are deceptively simple, well-crafted, and subtly catchy, not unlike Yo La Tengo. Yes, there's the idiosyncratic synthesizers, but the production is influenced by Brian Wilson & Phil Spector.

500(literally) vocal overdubs with no compression. c'mon, who else is daring enough to do that!

trudat, but the notion of some puff daddy-like producer sampling enya is still funny.

'Tribal Base' is a great track, humph

(Just out of curiosity, JK: which mag was this?)

it was, as a a matter of fact, the norwegian version of Natt&Dag
