David Arkenstone never fails to please !.......2007-04-01
I own many of David Arkenstone's cds though not all of them as yet. This was the first one I purchased and since then I continue to find more to like about his music compositions. Celtic Book of Days is one of my favorite cds to pull out and listen to over and over again. I never get tired of it. His other cds have never failed to please either though this is by far my most listened to cd. I recommend David Arkenstone highly.
A well-crafted album.......2006-10-08
The Celtic Book of Days (released in 1998) is David Arkenstone's eleventh full-length album. The material consists of Celtic music--15 tracks. Overall, I find the songwriting to be gratifying, the musicianship to be proficient, and the sound quality to be satisfying. Arkenstone sings on "The Boats." My favorite pieces are "Equos Fair," "Heart of Spring," "In the Ancient Time," and "Cailleach's Whisper." The kinetic "Equos Fair" provides infectious melodies. "Heart of Spring" is plaintive and pretty. The beautiful, serene "In the Ancient Time" is sung a cappella by a choir. I like the mournful "Cailleach's Whisper," with its attractive uilleann pipes. Included in the CD foldout is text dealing with Celtic lore. The album cover artwork is also interesting, and the color photo of Arkenstone on the back of the CD jewel case is nice. The disc is almost 67 minutes. Arkenstone is a talented artist. Actually, I rate this piece of work 3.5 stars. The Celtic Book of Days is recommendable.
CELTIC BOOK OF DAYS.......2006-09-20
Being a dancer and of Celtic spirit; I am enchanted with the song "DRAGON'S BREATH." I attend Celtic and Renasaiance Festivals. This piece of music is my favorite. The melody is sensual and free spirited.
Very Good Album, very much worth your time........2005-10-19
As a long-term fan of David's, I have stayed with him as he explored different directions of his craft. While some critics are correct in pointing out Celtic Book of Days is not "true" Celtic music, this is nonetheless a fine album in it's own right. It's not meant to be a study of traditional Celtic musicology, rather a picturesque romp that happens to have a Celtic flavor to it. If you like David's other works, I'm sure you'll like this as well. I received this album for Christmas 1999 and played it to death for the first few days. To this day it is still one of my comfortable favorites. As an aspiring writer, I credit the repeated listening to this album with helping me create a story about olden times in Britannia when life was simpler and filled with adventure, wonder and, most of all, MAGIC!
Let this album so inspire you as well.
New Age Drivel.......2005-06-29
David is a fine composer. He's written some very lovely new age music. This is his attempt to jump onto the Celtic bandwagon and it fails miserably. Dirty Linen magazine tore this album to shreds. It barely registers as Celtic. There's no fire here, no spirit. It's like the Disney version of what Celtic music should be. David should stick to his etherial compositions and leave the Celtic music to those people who make a living at playing celtic music. This is an insult to musicians who spend years learning the nuances of Irish/Scottish music.

Not a bad little Ep to own, I love the music.......2002-12-20
Being a Japanese issue makes this CD a novelty I guess, with six songs on it you do get some beautiful music. I'm not really sure which one I like best, Carribean Blue and Book of Days are always good.
Enya is remarkably consistent in her ability to turn out good music although these little foreign issue CD's are expensive, you do get good music here. If you can take the price go and buy this little collection, it has some of her best work on it.
Correction to editorial review.......2002-07-03
"S Fagaim Mho Baile" is not a reworking of "Exile" -- that is "As Baile". SFMB is a different song altogether.
Hannah's review on Book of Days.......2002-03-09
This cd is the bomb! The only thing I don't like about it is it is from Japan. Don't get me wrong, but hardly any enya singles were put out in the U.S. The cd has 3 non-album tracks and is a very rare find! (Being from Japan and all!)...
It has been proven to lower your stress level.......2001-08-28
I recorded the Olympics from this past year, and I watch it all the time. Well, you know when they show action clips of athletes and play some music? Well, when they are showing Women's gymnastics, the first show the Russian Women, and in the background you hear this song. And then I realized the song was Enya!! So I got the song, and it's a wonderful song. Very soothing. I thought the people who picked out the song picked the perfect song for that clip! "One step, One fall, One falter, East or West over Earth or by Ocean..." It is just a great song. So, go out and get it!!
The Best Song Ever Written... BOOK of DAYS.......2001-05-20
This is the more recent version (1992) of the song BOOK of DAYS by Enya. Written for the feautre film, FAR and AWAY with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, this song has a driven emotional passion for a long journey to new lands (as does the movie). To start over, to begin again is what the song and movie is all about. Determination rings throughout the entire tune, along with a fast up-beat rhythm that will never let you fall.
Utterly the best song ever written. The best song ever created. The best Enya song to date, and Enya is my favorite artist, I have all of albums and this is truly her culminating achievement. MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG, BOOK OF DAYS (FAR and AWAY)
