Today's Shelf Pull: Enya, Quiet That Knows Its Own Mind
Enya's Watermark is on the shelf today: a 1988 LP where soft synths, layered voices and slow water movement all refuse to hurry just because you are busy.
Some records arrive with elbows.
Watermark arrives with a basin of cold water and the quiet confidence of someone who knows the room will eventually come around.
Enya is on the shelf today, and the sleeve is already doing a fine bit of shop work before the LP has moved an inch. Red flower shapes, a pale face in the middle of the weather, that little handwritten Enya mark up top, all of it looking like a painting that has decided not to explain itself. Good. Explaining everything is a habit best left to appliance manuals.
The catalogue facts are tidy: Watermark, LP, 1988, Electronic shelf, available from Kilmorna at EUR26.95.
