Florian T M Zeisig’s Enya-sampling ‘You Look So Serious’ was originally issued via Important’s Cassauna sublabel in 2018 on tape and reappears on this new double vinyl edition, including a whole second volume of additional material. Constructed out of 426 tape loops of Enya’s 1988 album 'Watermark' it’s an obvious companion to Romance’s Celine Dion sampling ‘Once Upon A Time’, hitting a similar intersection of blissed out smudge and genuine love for the source material.
 
I think I read about this before/listened to a bit, it's alright, and just found a recent Tweet about it :D
 
Is this like her Club Future Nostalgia/Dawn Of Chromatica?
Are you in the club library already?

There seems to be this released a week ago


Some good ones; I particularly love the synth for the instrumental China Roses (track 5) between 0:29-1:31 😌🎶

I kind of like that take on Bard Dance (track 3). :cool: It sounds less ringtone, but the 'tap' is funny (percussion from Enya was better.)

Triad not bad :thumbsup: the St Patrick version seems inspired by the beginning of this remix; for Cú Chulainn I kind of prefer this ☺️ a bit Christmassy perhaps; Oisín is good, but Enya's vocals added character in the original - this also has a mini bass drop. :disco:

I do find the vocals on tributes a bit off-putting though. 😅 Too many singers use some excessive reverb effect, and it's not even close to Enya's timbre.

1st track Epona - nice, just seems like a slightly extended version. Tea House Moon seems smoother than Enya's, but missing the character of the piece a bit.

They're nice, but more New-Age-y standard definition compared to quite unique high definition of Enya's work, overall. ☺️🎶
