Enya "Caribbean Blue"

You would NEVER expect to hear New Age artist Enya on an Alternative radio station, yet that actually happened. The Irish musician whose music is synonymous with a massage parlor soundtrack, actually hit #3 on the Alternative Chart with "Caribbean Blue" in 1991.

Enigma "Return to Innocence"

While most teenagers spent their high school Spring break getting drunk on the beaches of south Florida, I spent my high school Spring breaks staying with my grandparents in Bradenton, Florida. Bradenton is about an hour south of Tampa and neighbors the city of Sarasota.  Since my parents didn't have cable at home during my high school years, I got my fill of music videos from MTV and VH-1 during Spring break in between countless trips to the pool and The Outback Steakhouse. One of my many memories from Spring Break 1994 featured "Return to Innocence" from the New Age band Enigma on heavy rotation at VH-1. The relaxing tune seemed destined to be the soundtrack at massage parlors, but instead managed to receive heavy radio airplay across multiple formats. The ear worm turned into a hit song in over a dozen countries.

Enya "Orinoco Flow"

If you get a massage and don't hear Enya's "Orinoco Flow", they're doing it wrong.
