Christmas Ep Review
One of our annual best-selling Christmas titles, back again in time to make sure you'll have enough stock on hand for the holidays! This 1994 Canadian-only EP features beloved Irish new age vocalist Enya's cherished take on the classic Chrristmas carol "Silent Night" sung in Gaelic under the title of "Oiche Chiun". Accompanying the gentle melody here are four other essential recordings by this former member of Clannad: the title track to her 1987 debut solo album 'The Celts', plus "Ebudae" from her best-selling 1991 outing 'Shepherd Moons' and the hard to find B-sides "'S Fagaim Mo Bhaile" & "As Baile" (a Gaelic-sung version of the standout track "Exile" from her breakthrough 1988 album 'Watermark'). Comes packaged in a standard jewel case.

Her most spiritual and sacred sounding recording.

Okay, so "Silent Night" sung in Gaelic is the only true Christmas song here, but all four vocals followed by the instrumental, "The Celts" together build up an intense feeling of beauty of spirit, more concentrated than in any of her full length albums. Yes, it's short, it's an EP, not a full length CD, but it's worth the money if only for the sound of her "Silent Night", and the change of pace of a short album that starts with an exquisite vocal and ends with an instrumental...different and refreshing for Enya.

Not a best buy

Only 5 cuts, total of 16 minutes 45 seconds. One cut is "The Celts" available on other CD's. At over a dollar a minute while the music is good, it is very expensive.

Angelic, Heavenly version of "Silent Night"

"Oiche Diun" it's called here, and in my opinion, it is the most beautiful "Silent Night" I've heard sung. That's saying something for one of the most popular of Christmas carols. I presume the next two cuts are Christmas songs, but the last two aren't. But this comes out as the most spiritual Enya ever. Yes, it is an EP and not a CD which means it only has 5 songs on it. And yes, it is an import not available in the United States which means you have to pay a high price for it. So if you're looking for a bargain, go to the Dollar Store; but if you're looking for exquisite music not available elsewhere, get this CD.
