Enya-Watermark (1988)

"Watermark" is one of the most important albums in the history of the new age, and not only because of its huge sales but also because it was the album that would influence many musicians in the following years.
Enya Brennan is a singer, keyboard player who lives secluded in Manderley Castle, in Dublin, almost hermitically away from all kinds of unwanted public contacts and who had belonged to the Irish folk band Clannad to whom she would abandon them at the beginning from the 80s.
From here and together with her collaborators Nicky and Roma Ryan, she dedicated herself to composing her own music, which is reflected in the album "The Celts" published in 1987.
A year later he signed a contract with the WEA and published "Watermark", an album where his music is based mainly on the superposition of voices, (their own voices), who sing over each other, thus creating textures based on their own voice of the artist and on the way preventing her songs from being faithfully performed live.
An album full of nostalgic, intimate and dark themes, with timid piano notes and synthesizers creating a complex mosaic of great brilliance.
