I admit it, I am a massive fan of Enya, from the moment I heard Orinoco Flow. I have all her albums, singles and compilations. In my book, she was the start of New Age music. So, I admit to being biased! Her albums take a while to make and the wait is difficult to take. However, when she releases an album, she delivers a 4 or 5 star album.
I agree with the sentiments from Paul of the Netherworld, my fellow reviewer from Brighton who, in his review of the CD single of Amarantine, spoke about other music which exists and tends to dominate the charts.
In the desert, there is always an oasis, and in today's predominantly arid music scene, here is that oasis - another lovely Enya album. The title track is quite similar to ... Read More:

Some great tracks with echoes of the 60's in some of the stripped down versions. It gives you an insight into how Bob is influenced by others and fits in well to his account in Cronicles. This is the best Dylan material that has been released for a long time. You can enjoy it new to Bob or old like me!

Great ! Superb ! Fantastic ! I agree that picture could have been better, but music overcomes it all ! Something not seen. We in Croatia would say "prava festa" (true fiesta) for all of people in the venue: the musitians and the audience, and therefore all the people who watch it on DVD.... Really must have DVD.

I heard this album, whilst on holiday in Girona (Spain).
It is a must buy album. Even if you can't understand Spanish,she has a wonderful voice. It has a contemporary-jazzy sound without losing the traditional Espanic feeling. thanks for readind DaveyT.

For any folkie the session musicians on this album read like a who's who of English folk rock of the late 60's early 70's. The music and lyrics are sublime my only question is why i had not bought this earlier. It is the perfect sunday chill out album beautifully crafted songs and suberb lyrics

Agreed, this has been done before. In 1975, to accompany a book on the story of how folk transitioned into rock, and 20 years later in the 6-CD New Electric Muse and New Electric Muse II on Sanctuary. That a re-branded return to the first golden age of British folk rock works so well in this latest incarnation is testament to the skill of writer/compiler David Suff and some unsurpassable music from the Island and Transatlantic catalogues. The moment when in 1966 at Manchester's Free Trade Hall, Dylan swapped his acoustic guitar for a Stratocaster to a fan's cry of "Judas!" is often cited as marking the birth of electric folk. But Suff's journey starts over a decade earlier in Lonnie Donegan's `Rock Island Line' and the early `60s' recordings of Davy ... Read More:

One of the best CDs ever for beating the blues. Just infectious tunes that carry you along - the Proclaimers have never been fashionable but they're extremely good at what they do.

At least Oliver Stone has a good taste in music, when he took 3 songs from this album to make his pseudo satire NATURAL BORN KILLERS.
THE FUTURE is yet another great album by Leonard Cohen with several great tracks which are very meaningful, especially THE FUTURE, ANTHEM, DEMOCRACY and WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE. Anyone who enjoys sophisticated lyrics cannot go wrong here.

Joni Mitchell's voice on this cd sounds beautiful,smooth and relaxed.
This is a collection of her most accessible songs that catch and charm the listener.I loved the lyrics - lyrics such as: "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot." Someone on this website said Joni was the Mozart of the 1960s.But with music and words as good as the ones you'll find on Hits,I have to conclude she was Mozart!
