Performer Notes:
- Personnel includes: Enya (vocals, various instruments); Arty McGlynn (electric guitar); Patrick Halling (violin); Liam O'Flionn (Uillean pipes).
- Includes liner notes by Roma Ryan.
- THE CELTS is the 1992 re-release of a 1987 album simply titled ENYA, containing 15 selections originally composed for a BBC series of the same name. Although a number of the tracks sound dated, several others, including "To Go Beyond (II)" are notable for how they locate the origins of the classic Enya sound, far removed from earlier Celtic efforts.
- A tidy, dreamlike piece, "Epona," is about the Horse Goddess, closely connected to Rhiannon, whose birds are said to awaken the dead. The tale of a rebellious ancient queen who poisoned herself, "Boadicea" finds Enya humming over a dark keyboard refrain.
