Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya is an excellent 16-song overview of
Enya's career, containing 14 selections from
The Celts,
Watermark,
Shepherd Moon, and
The Memory of Trees -- including
"Caribbean Blue," "Anywhere Is," "Marble Halls," "Book of Days," and, of course,
"Orinoco Flow" -- as well as two previously unreleased songs (
"Only If...," "Paint the Sky with Stars") that fit comfortably with her past work. Although
Enya is, in many ways, an album artist that creates a mood and sustains it through the course of one disc, this is a fine sampler for listeners who only want the hits and highlights.
