Enya

Someday soon I'm going to put up a list on the right under the rubric "World Music Finds." Enya won't be among them because I reckon everybody who might care knows who Enya is. The folkiness of her music may be compromised by the use of synthesizers and various electronic tricks, her work may be haunted by a cloying New Age ethos, but anybody who can sing "I dreamed I dwelt in marble halls..." and make me believe it for the duration is not a good singer, but a real good singer. (The designation 'great' should be reserved for people like Shakespeare or Abraham Lincoln).
