In the interview "Watermark recording process". The Music Magazine (Australia) July/August 1989
THE SET UP:
They use a variety of keyboards but the mainstays are a Yamaha KX88master Yamaha DX7 Emulator 111 Oberheim Matrix synths and Akai S900 but particularly Roland's D50 and Juno 60.
Enya: "The Juno is one of our favorites. We had intended to replace its parts with better sounds but we couldn't find better substitutes so we left them in. It's not always possible to have all the sounds I want for a song at the time of composing .I'd usually start with the D50. But most often, sounds suggest parts and the ones I use then are usually used on the final recording. Like on Storms in Africa... that arpeggiated line on the Juno 60 was the basis of the piece."
Also mentioned in the cover album Enya - The Celts (1986 / 1992 remastered).

Enya is credited with using the Kurzweil K250 on her album "The Celts," originally released in 1986 and remastered in 1992. While the K250 isn't explicitly mentioned in the album credits, it was one of the primary instruments available to her during that period, alongside the Juno 60, DX7, and Emulator II, as noted on 45worlds.
