Okay, so Buzz Jack Big Brother would have done what? Now its really starting to sound evil... Criminal intent? Or does this imply Gary is an Orwell fan? LOL, does Aldous Huxley have a forum here? :lol:

That sounds devilish! :D What's BJBB? Educate me now... Best Wishes, Astro B)

LOL, alright On Your Shore, let's go there. :heehee: I recall vividly the first time I heard 'OF' on the car radio while driving home in 1988. I've been hooked on The Sound ever since then. My Family too. Enya's music was a great comfort to enjoy while we raised our three children. :lol: So, essentially nearly 20 years. :) Best Wishes, Astro B)

Welcome Gary & everyone else that has recently discovered The Sound. B) I've been listening to Enya for... Let's not go there. :lol: It has been a long, long time. The cool thing about it is that it will never grow old. Each listen is something new and discovery is continual if you choose to persue more knowledge into the depth of The Music. Keep rockin' and don't forget to network. Best Wishes, Astro B) B)

LOL, David! :lol: The Yellowbelly clue was a tough one to try to convey without being insulting or giving it away. I used the designation you find with the colors available for fonts on the forum to be cryptic about it. Also, you will find lyrics and their translations within the Discography. Good luck on the latest puzzle, folks, and another is in the works as we speak. :D Peace, Astro B)

Howdy David! :D This next one coming up should be less difficult. It does require some research in the Discography that is for sure! Here's a clue for those into research: Be sure to use Wikipedia in concerns to these. ;) Astro :cool:

I can't help but give this one a solid 5. :cool: Out of all the covers, this one especially as well as the one from 'The Celts' are what I have found most folks I converse with think of when you mention Enya. It has a somewhat surreal and mystical quality to it, although I have never really considered those being traits of her. Just what folks assume it seems... As far as clutter? Well..., not really. I'm of the opinion that they were trying to convey a natural feel to it all, and what a better setting than in an old-style freeform garden? A very nice photo, and the expanded metallic finish version found on the 'HCIKFS' 12" single is a knock-out! If I were ever to frame one, that would be it. Very imaginative and appealing to the discerning eye. Then again, hey, that's just me. :coffee: Regards, Astro B)

David, I was hoping someone would notice that! :dance: I'm happy to hear that folks are enjoying these creations of mine. I thought it would be a great way to occupy our time as we await the next release this coming holiday season and expand our knowledge of all things Enya. There will be more if you would like, and as a matter of fact, I've another one nearly completed that I will be posting soon at Unity along with the solution for the last one. Ya know, I was going to post these randomly, but by suggestion I'll be trying to conincide them with Track of the Week. LOL, I've got my work cut out for me. Things have been very hectic here, but I've been dropping in occasionally to see how things have been going here. I'm really impressed with the great job you folks have done with it all! Good job! Best Wishes For Your Continued Success, :jump: <- (What a cool selection of emoticons! :) Astro B)

Geez, I just pop in to see what's happening and now I'm posting twice! :lol: Very interesting topics and you folks are doing a great job. I voted "YES" and I'll say why. Enya has potential that hasn't been fully realized by the Listening Public. When 'Orinoco Flow' hit the airwaves it was nothing less than Musical Dynamite. Refreshing and a welcome change of pace... There is so much left they have to offer. All of this is dependent though upon the wishes of the Trio, and from an interview that can still be read at Book Of Days hosted by TreeCat from Unity fame, you will find that they aren't so much concerned about blockbuster hits on the charts with every release they make. They are more concerned with the Music itself, but that isn't to say if it happens it isn't welcome. More or less, it seems they put it out there, and in the long run, I think you will find that it is timeless and continues to sell no matter what. Longevity seems to be their goal in my opinion, and that they have certainly achieved. Best Wishes, Astro B)

Fellow Collectors, LOL, in the tradition of Bigwiglaf, I'll say that mine is 'miniscule', but even that word is larger than mine! :lol: I haven't been here for awhile and thought I would drop by and say 'Hello!'

I will say that from what I have seen since I was here last that you have done a very, very good job of it all. Best Wishes, Astro B)

Feel The Fever, I have always been curious how Enya and other Irish Artists are viewed in the confines of their Native Country. Could you enlighten us as to how that is there? Thank you for responding if you do. Astro B)

Great pictures all around! Here is one of my favorites, possibly taken during the filming of the 'Wild Child' video perhaps? http://www.multinet.no/~jonarne/Hjemmesia/Favorittartister/enya/enya_9.jpg Dignified, Beautiful, and Poised... :)

Man, I so wish they would extend the end of 'OMWH' by another ten seconds or so! :dance: Meanwhile, thanks to On Your Shore, I'm now getting hung up on 'Ebudae'. What a tune that is! Ya know, when I first heard that piece I thought of Native American tribal drums... Amazing how one can interput the Music, no? Yo, Dreamer! Cool emoticons! Where are you finding them? May It Be, Astro B)

Saddle up, Bro! We leave at 4 A.M. We'll have breakfeast in Silverthorne and refresh our coffees in Vail. :) Actually, there will be a bit more snow now on the mountains than what that picture shows. Fantastic countryside regardless! Curious as to what sights there are to see in everyone else's neck of the woods... Finished some paperwork (more yet to do) and spent the evening quietly with the Better Half and our littlest one. It's the simplest things that make Life enjoyable, no? Anyways, if anyone is interested, here is a site that shows a bit more of the surrounding hills... "14'ers & More..." To Go Beyond, Astro B)

'On Your Shore' and Lovin' It!!! Any fans of 'On My Way Home'? What a fantastic work that is! Just Curious, Astro
