 I agree. But I don't like to describe her music such quasi-religious terms as

"She's sounds like an angel"or "a heavenly aura". But I don't deny such 
descriptions.And it is natural that good music always transcend mundane 
realities.How I describe Enya's music--difficult,not only because of my poor
English skill. I'll also feel difficult,if I try it with Japanese. But it's
surethat I feel her music as wild and 
elegant at the same time.
 By the way, I don't know how to define so-called "New Age" music. 
 Please tell me.
