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 eee3.mp3File Size: 194068 kbFile Type: mp3Download File 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
