Enlightenment is the twentieth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison.

The June 2008 re-issued and re-mastered version of the album contains alternate takes of "Enlightenment" and "So Quiet in Here".

The arrangements were by Fiachra Trench and Micheal O'Suilleabhain played piano with a brass section made up of British jazz musicians from the late sixties: Frank Ricotti, Henry Lowther and Malcolm Griffiths.

One of the songs "So Quiet in Here" was recorded at the Kirk, Rode, Somerset, a setting which served as both church or studio.

[9] The song "In the Days Before Rock 'N' Roll" was a collaboration between Morrison and the Irish poet Paul Durcan.
