CD/DVD Plus 12-Inch Vinyl Picture Disc (Amazon Exclusive)

Don't really need the CD but the DVD! wow, thats a must own. Could it be in 5.1? please.

Her previous best-of, Paint the Sky With Stars, was issued in 1997, so a new one makes sense. (Although she's had two box sets already, one import-only.) Agreed, the DVD is the main attraction.

Nice cover photo.

Bump: these have been pushed back to December 1st. I've added tracklistings to the first post — note that the CD-only version is currently scheduled to feature a different track selection than the audio half of the CD/DVD set.

Well that's sort of a pain in the ass, isn't it (with all due respect)?

Any word about 5.1 on the DVD?

Enya released a DVD some years back(in England & Japan), but before it could be released in America, she insisted that the Uk & Japan editions be withdrawn, for reasons that have never been totally explained. That disc was later counterfeited in Russia. Supposedly, the withdrawing of the UK & Japan discs had something to do with some unspecified dissatisfaction with the sound quality.

You'd imagine a DVD of Enya would sound good.

Got my Enya SE at Target today. Nice packaging. I'll throw it on later and see how the DVD is.

Put on the DVD "Orinoco Flow" and yes, there is a 5.1 Dolby Digital track/ a DTS 5.1 track on all the songs plus 2 channel PCM which is also very good. Very impressive sound. Lots of very low bass. This is demo material.

Video quality of the first two songs (Orinoco Flow/ Caribean Blue) is ok, both are highly stylized so its hard to tell if they've been improved.

Now onto song 3 which is "Only Time", massive bass and better video quality.

Here's some info from Wikipedia:

A North American (Region 1) release of the Video Collection DVD was announced on several occasions during 2000-2001, but it did not occur; the reason for which has never been officially stated. At one point it was announced that the release had been delayed in order to allow the inclusion of the video for "May it Be", while the (now defunct) fan sites reported that a dispute over the sound quality of the release led to it being withdrawn.

As of 2005, The Collection was still considered to be "coming soon" by some North American online retailers although bootleg copies from Asia have circulated at the retail level in some parts of Region 1 since 2000. Despite the release of a new CD by Enya in November 2005, the Region 1 edition of the DVD collection remains in limbo and there has been no announcement of an updated DVD release in other parts of the world. As of 1 December 2009, Enya will release her first DVD video collection for the US with the release of the new album, The Very Best of Enya.


The Very Best Of Enya sounds fine.

The DVD does include the 3 documentaries that should have been on the 2001 Video Collection that never came out here.

Enya is now 48 years old.

Is it a true 5.1 mix on there?
