Description

Originally released as a limited edition three-CD set in 1997, Enyas A Box of Dreams has become a must-have collectors item among fans. 25 years later, A Box of Dreams will receive a long-awaited re-issue when it is released on vinyl for the very first time, within a beautifully designed six-disc eco-friendly box set which has been manufactured using 100% recycled board and vinyl. The set compiles highlights from the first half of Enyas storied career, spanning selections from her self-titled debut al-bum (later reissued and expanded as The Celts) through to the single Only If which had just been released and featured on her first best of Paint The Sky With Stars.

This boxset features new liner notes from Roma and Nicky Ryan, including a series of short poems by Roma Ryan. A Box of Dreams originally featured three thematically arranged discs, each of which is now split between three double-vinyl records:

Oceans showcases the most uplifting moments from Enyas rich catalogue of work, starting with the #1 smash and instant classic Orinoco Flow and voyaging through other hits (including Any-where Is, Book of Days and Caribbean Blue) and fan favourites (such as The Longships, Ebudae and Pax Deorum).

Clouds curates a selection of Enyas most beautifully beguiling instrumentals as well composi-tions in which her voice provides an ambient texture to the production, including the title tracks from Watermark, Shepherd Moons and The Memory of Trees.

Stars features Enyas wondrously choral and meditative ballads, including the hit single Evening Falls, the hymnal Athair Ar Neamh and the evocative, yet relatively undiscovered Exile.

In essence, the set provides a glimpse into the variety of inspiring compositions created by the triumvi-rate: Enya, alongside producer Nicky Ryan and lyricist Roma Ryan. Their hallmarks are infused through-out every moment of the collection, weaving together Enyas elegant vocal majesty alongside innova-tive, intricately layered production and lyrics which unite the poetic with the philosophical.

In addition, A Box of Dreams is also the first Enya release to be pressed using recycled vinyl. The manu-facturing process creates a randomly generated, dark-hued marble effect on each disc, which also means that each individual record is utterly unique.
