Enya ‘A Box Of Dreams’ To Be Released On Vinyl For The First Time
Enya will celebrate 25 years of her much-loved best of A Box Of Dreams with its very first vinyl release, to be released on 23 June.
A Box Of Dreams will be housed in a beautifully designed six-disc eco-friendly box set, manufactured using 100% recycled board and vinyl.

A Box of Dreams compiles highlights from the first half of Enya’s storied career, spanning selections from her self-titled debut album (later reissued and expanded as The Celts) through to the single Only If… which had just been released and featured on her first ‘best of’ Paint The Sky With Stars.
A Box of Dreams originally featured three thematically arranged discs, each of which is now split between three double-vinyl records:
Oceans showcases the most uplifting moments from Enya’s rich catalogue of work, starting with the No 1 smash hit and instant classic Orinoco Flow and voyaging through other hits (including Anywhere Is, Book of Days and Caribbean Blue) and fan favourites (such as The Longships, Ebudae and Pax Deorum).
Clouds curates a selection of Enya’s most beautifully beguiling instrumentals as well compositions in which her voice provides an ambient texture to the production, including the title tracks from Watermark, Shepherd Moons and The Memory of Trees.
Stars features Enya’s wondrously choral and meditative ballads, including the hit single Evening Falls, the hymnal Athair Ar Neamh and the evocative, yet relatively undiscovered Exile.
A Box of Dreams provides a glimpse into the variety of inspiring compositions created by the triumvirate: Enya, alongside producer Nicky Ryan and lyricist Roma Ryan. Their hallmarks are infused throughout every moment of the collection, weaving together Enya’s elegant vocal majesty alongside innovative, intricately layered production and lyrics which unite the poetic with the philosophical. This box set features new liner notes from Roma and Nicky Ryan, including a series of short poems by Roma Ryan.
A Box of Dreams is also the first Enya release to be pressed using recycled vinyl. The manufacturing process creates a randomly generated, dark-hued marble effect on each disc, which also means that each individual record is utterly unique.
