Or as Mary Macgregor (a friend of my wife) said. "Music to slaughter pigs by".
(No reference to certain atrocities 60 odd years ago)
OTOH his early music is quite jolly, "The Mastersingers of Nuremberg".

Hmm actually not one of my most favourite tracks on the album (last month or
so I went onto a torrent site to grab the enya albums because I didn't feel
like setting up and my cd/dvd drive to rip them and discovered that hey,
there's a new album! downloaded it, then had to buy it)...Trains and Winter
Rains, Last Time by Moonlight, O Come O Come Emmanuel (Latin part
especially), and Dreams are More Precious are (more or less in that order)
the ones I like the most. Don't care so much for One Toy Soldier, and while
My! My! Time flies is enjoyable, it...is a bit out of place ^^

Simple? A choral symphony for four solo voices, chorus, and orchestra. But then
you understand Haskel ;)

And so effective it is referred to it as the European Anthem.
