But do not expects the polished sound and breathtaking multivocals of the latter albums because you will not get them here.įrancis Day & Hunter Ltd/Redwood Music Ltd To sum things up, this is an interesting little cd if you have everything else and want to explore Enya’s early work. While I never listen to the rest of the album, I keep these two in my mp3 player. They are both dreamy romantic ballads, the arrangements are not entirely unlike ‘I Want Tomorrow’. It is in here that you get to hear Enya’s younger voice and a hint of layered multivocals. These songs are the definite highlight of the album and the best reason to buy it. The latter two are fully developped in ‘The Frog Prince’ and ‘Dreams’ performed by Enya. There are three main themes that repeat throughout the album: the movie theme, the Jenny’s theme and the Jean-Philippe’s theme. On the other hand, even though not very exciting, the music stays sweet. Also, the instrumental pieces do not contain any multivocals that became associated with the trademark Enya sound. Judging from the interviews that Enya and Nicky gave later, they were not very pleased with the end product. However, most of the music credited to Enya was only composed by her and then arranged and performed by other people. It was the first ever release consisting primarily of Enya material and a stepping stone to ‘The Celts’. If you are a big fan and a completist, the soundtrack is definitely interesting. The question is more whether you should give it a try and include it in your Enya collection or not. Contrary to popular belief, the cd is very easy to buy (used copies start at $2) and not rare at all. The soundtrack released the following year includes 9 instrumentals composed by Enya, 2 songs composed and performed by her and a couple of jazz standards performed by Jazz Club. ‘The Frog Prince’ album contains music that Enya composed for the 1984 romantic comedy of the same name.
