Spoke to Lisa yesterday. She was generous with her time and quite open with her answers. Will post transcription in few days. I asked the two questions posted here earier

Thanks for the input

It's really easy to be jaded without giving something a real chance. I must assume you have never really listened to Enya if you can only refer to her as "Christmas album Enya". It took me a while to realize how great her music is. At first all I could think was that she was trying to sound like the Victorialand era Cocteau Twins. My starting point with her music was the song ALDEBERAN on her first album. Just listen to that song without prejudice and you will be won over. There are a lot of shortcommings with her work, I will admit, like the fact that her compositions are often so formulaic that much of it sounds the same. Her last two albums in particular are an example of this. The reissue of Amarantine with added "winter holiday" tracks must be what you are refering to as her "christmas album". I know many people who grew up listening to DCD and Cocteau Twins revile Enya mearly because she is radio friendly. Like I said, I was one of those people, but, like you said "to each their own". Anyway......best regards
