Enya's elusive combination of classical inspiration, Celtic atmosphere and pop sensibility is evident throughout this superb compilation, as it revisits some of the most exemplary moments from an astonishing career.

Twenty-two years have passed since the original release of Enya's self-titled debut album. During that time, Enya has become one of the world's most successful musicians with over 70 million album sales to her name and an array of authoritative honours including four Grammy Awards and three World Music Awards. 'The Very Best of Enya' brings together for the first time so much of the earth-spanning music created, alongside her close friends and partners in music, Nicky and Roma Ryan.

Enya's elusive combination of classical inspiration, Celtic atmosphere and pop sensibility is evident throughout this superb compilation as it revisits some of the most exemplary moments from an astonishing career. From her world-conquering international breakthrough "Orinoco Flow" to the sad serenity of "Only Time" that was adopted as an comforting anthem of hope in the face of 9/11, this CD captures Enya's most beautiful work to date.

'The Very Best of' encapsulates highlights from Enya's entire career from her debut album's 'Boedicea' to the first 'And Winter Came' single 'Trains and Winter Rains.' Along the way it visits a remarkable collection of hit songs and enduring favourites such as "Anywhere Is", "Caribbean Blue, "Book of Days" and "Amarantine". It also provides something new in the shape of a stripped-down, previously unreleased version of "Aniron" that famously featured in Peter Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'.

Enya's beguiling, choral tide of sound has already provided the basis of one of the most extraordinary stories in contemporary music, and it's a tale that will continue to unfold in the years ahead.
