*Originally released September 13th 2015* Steve and Doug take a trip down Nostalgia Lane for Ireland's huge international New Age act, Enya. The gents also talk about album sales in countries, singing in Elvish, and stalkers. Six Degrees From King Crimson: Enya -> Ross Cullum -> Tears For Fears -> Mel Collins -> King Crimson Music featured this week: Orinoco Flow - Watermark Only Time - A Day Without Rain The Celts - Enya / The Celts ![]()
3:41 - Spoiler alert: upon the release of SPECTRE, Steve found Sam Smith's "Writing's On The Wall" to be almost unlistenable 13:03 - This VHS rip isn't the best quality, but offers a rare look at the early days of both Clannad and Enya. Enya is on keyboards and backup vocals, in case you want to shout that it's Moya singing, not Enya. 15:56 - Looks like this miniseries is pretty hard to track down. The one I found on YouTube is from 2000, and another I found on the BBC's website is from 1978 - but the episode titles match, so maybe it's a typo? Being in Canada I can't view them to verify. The one Enya did the music for is fully titled "The Celts: Rich Traditions and Ancient Myths" and is from 1987. 19:57 - Here's Enya's full interview with Good Morning America in 1991 36:09 - Listen to the lyrics to "Wire" by U2. Another interesting play on words that Steve likes is the line "Cartoon cutout / cut throat bled out." Translating that into another language would lose the flow and alliteration 37:52 - Doesn't look like Enya hits that distinction of top female artist in the world. Sources vary, but it looks like Madonna and Barbra Streisand have her beat 38:14 - Here's Enya's interview on the Late Late Show, Part 1 and Part 2 55:53 - No joke! will.i.am curiously didn't ask for permission to sample (heavily) from Daft Punk, and produced a song / video that is arguably his best work, especially when compared to the fairly boring original version. Just ask permission dude! 1:09:50 - You can read up more on Loxian here on Enya's website Doug's Recommendations: Book Of Days (English version) - Paint The Sky With Stars The Celts - Enya / The Celts Storms In Africa - Watermark Steve's Recommendations: Caribbean Blue - Shepherd Moons Cursum Perficio - Watermark Aldebaran - Enya / The Celts Enya's Official Website
