发行于1992年的这张《The Celts》其实是一张老专辑，而且是Enya初试啼声的作品。早在1986年恩雅与她的原创制作班底为BBC（英国国家广播公司）的电视剧《The Celts》担任原声配乐，获得很好的反响。所以在同年，英国国家广播公司便将其15首配乐辑为恩雅的首张同名专辑《Enya》推向市场。在恩雅加入华纳唱片以后，WEA买断了这张唱片的版权，经过重新包装，命名为《The Celts》，于1992年年底发行。由于是恩雅的早期作品，而且是原声配乐，所以其中的音乐风格个性并不突出，整体效果非常舒缓、平和。这些音乐讲述了古代凯尔特民族的历史与神话，略带神秘却又令人敬畏。Initially released simply as Enya, The Celts shows that the style she became famous for on Watermark was already well under way. With production and lyrical help fully in place thanks to her husband-and-wife gurus Nicky and Roma Ryan, Enya's combination of Celtic traditionalism and distinctly modern approach finds lush flower here. All the elements that characterize her music -- open, clear nods to her Irish heritage, any number of vocal overdubs to create an echoing, haunting feeling, and layers of synth and electronic percussion -- can be found almost track for track. The flip side is that those who find such a combination to be gloopy mush won't be at all convinced further by her work here. It's understandable why folk music traditionalists and anti-mainstream types would get the hives, but those not coming from that angle will find much that's rewarding. Given that The Celts is a commissioned piece of work, it actually stands on its own quite well. The charging surge of the title track functions both as a fine introduction and its own stirring, quietly powerful anthem, a good sign for the rest of the album. There are a couple of slight missteps -- an electric guitar solo disrupts the string-and-vocal flow of the truly lovely I Want Tomorrow, for instance. Generally, though, her musical instincts serve her very well, with many striking highlights. The appropriately three-part Triad showcases her ear for vocal work excellently, while both versions of To Go Beyond, especially the second, which closes the disc with an exquisite extra string part, also are worthy of note.
