Enya recorded some of her songs in the language of the elves, which she calls the Loxian language.

Actually, Enya's Loxian songs are not in Elvish. Loxian is a language developed by Roma Ryan, Enya's lyricist.

Enya sang two songs in Tolkien's Elvish languages for the The Fellowship of the Ring, "Aniron" which is sang entirely in Sindarin, and "May It Be", which has Quenyan (or High Elvish) phrases as part of the lyrics.

I love Enya and also, her sister, Maire (Moya) Brennan, recorded some lovely music, I particularly love her "Misty Eyed Adventures," record. Those pieces used in The Fellowship are just achingly gorgeous. Here is the track I heard in a clothing shop in Boulder that made me ask who that was, so I could get the recording of Maire Brennan's:

I think this by HP Lovecraft is wonderfully indicative of the psychedelic sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhs7L9ldsvE

Of course you do. You have taste and discernment. How about this....

That was quite fun...their LP used to occasionally come across the counter (talk about counterculture!) when I was the psych buyer at a Santa Cruz store in the 80's. Interesting that Stuart Brotman (ex Kaleidoscope) worked for a time with them.....they also played The Ash Grove as well as the Kaleidoscope. The track you offered is QUITE the bit of psychedelia! :)

^^ I Love the 17-minute-long version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (In the Garden of Eden) with the amazing drum solo. Here's an old black & white video of Iron Butterfly performing Live on Danish TV in 1971.....
