5.0 out of 5 stars Note: Different CD Track Listings on CD and CD/DVD Editions, December 2, 2009
By 
Bill Anthony "billjbfan" (North Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Both the jewel-box CD Edition and the hard-cover book-bound CD/DVD Editions have a previously unreleased version

of "Aniron" from "The Lord Of The Rings". The soundtrack CD had a version just over 2 minutes, and this new collection has

a recording that is about 30 seconds longer and has more of a familiar Enya studio-sound, as opposed to pure orchestral.

In the liner notes, Enya refers to it has the "previously unavailable full version". "Aniron" had never been on an

Enya album in any form.

Both editions share many of her popular hits, but there are major differences in the tracks included,

with the CD having 19 songs, and the CD on the CD/DVD edition having 22, many of them different.

Included on the regular CD, but missing from the CD portion of the CD/DVD version:

Storms In Africa, Book Of Days, The Celts, Water Shows The Hidden Heart, Cursum Perficio, Aldebaran,

A Day Without Rain,... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, The Enya Videos Collection (Modified) Gets A USA Release, December 1, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
In 2001, Warner Music released an Enya music videos collection on DVD everywhere but the USA. This DVD, titled Enya: The Video Collection, went out of print in Europe fast. At the time, fans of Enya in the States had minimal information on when the DVD would get a release in this country. One reason floated for why the plans for a release in the USA were scrubbed was that Nicky Ryan wanted the Enya DVD to have more than a LPCM audio track, he wanted Dolby 5.1. This new DVD has audio in LPCM, Dolby 5.1 and DTS, but this DVD took eight years to get here in altered form.

What this DVD doesn't have are the videos Exile and Book of Days from the 2001 DVD, nor the documentary Enya-A Life in Music. The missing Exile is no loss, it has too many close-ups of a moody Steve Martin from the movie L.A. Story, sometimes pontificating on the meaning of life. The Enya documentary is something else, a class production that should be in the DVD, even if it is a little dated... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Celebrating Enya's landmark career, December 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
"The Very Best of Enya" is finally issued in its physical formats. The Irish chanteuse, (whose creative work demonstrates sensitivity and imagination) celebrates her landmark career with 22 of her industry-changing classics. Although a collection of hit's, it is the strongest batch of songs and entrancing music videos assembled to date for the artist. "The Very Best of Enya" has already gone Gold!

All vocals and instrumentation performed by Enya, Arranged by Enya and Nicky Ryan, Engineered and mixed by Nicky Ryan, Lyrics by Roma Ryan, Recorded at Aigle studio. Includes 3 documentaries beginning with "Enya: A Life in Music", "The Making of Caribbean Blue", and "The Making of Only Time" in addition to 13 exquisite music videos.

Excellent design and art direction by Peacock. I love that Enya was photographed as The Poppy of Remembrance - it is perfection.
