So, now that it's official, what have you to say about this collection before any of us actually hear it? ;D

I think it is a good moment to release a best of in this vein...and if the Biography book and film rumour is of any truth, this release will be of vital importance IMHO.
OTOH, I feel it is still very much a "Warner-release" albeit that the Trio get to pick the songs more carefully this time, and I am very intrigued as to which songs will be on it, and even moreso if these songs will be any different from a general best of collection.
Further, I do hope there will be new songs but I am not as overcome with excitement as with AWC for example. If there are no new tracks, so be it and I will gladly await further info on both the album's tracks and the DVD content of the Special Edition.
At this point in time though, I am more excited about the Loxian Games than about this release! ;D
Love, Phantas

I refuse to batter my brain with another Loxian Games event, so I will just look on.
I'm quite willing to get the Special Edition of the compilation if it's released in Canada, which so far looks doubtful.

Hello...Moe, nice to see you again..I did not have the will power to do the last game...the complexity of this game will dictate my participation...If this game it to hard, I will not be able to play due to other commitments such as work...he he he.... ;D I am sure it will be fun, so I will give it a whirl...I would love to get a special gift... From a consumers or business point of view, "The Best of Enya"...I am not sure this is the time to release such a collection, money is tight for many, we are still in a recession here in the U.S., and most people are not going to pay for something they already have at thier finger tips...Retailers are already seeing a gloomy holiday shopping season...the price may cause this one to flop if it to expensive...

I'll attempt the Games, no matter how frustrating because I need the distraction and challenge. Roma's puzzles are diabolical, but I have to think about something besides work!
As for the compliation CD, I'll only buy it if there is material I don't have, such as new songs, the videos in large high-quality format, or interviews that are worthwhile. I don't need more copies of the same songs.

You make a very good point here. I know I'll be watching the pennies in the next few months, and like Riene, I'll buy only what I don't already have. So I am hoping that the new release includes "other stuff" than songs I now have. This is why I'm looking at the Special Edition and not just the CD.

Well, I'm disappointed that there is not a new song, but not overly so. After all, it's a "greatest hits" retrospective collection, not a greatest hits + new stuff collection.

Love the fact that most of the Post ADWR videos are on the DVD...who knows if there will be more on it! I'm inclined to put both editions on my Christmas wish list this year....I have never bought double editions (apart from the Amarantine special deluxe edition which came with Roma's book) but because these tracklists are so different...it might be interesting. And we can never have too much WSTHH I wonder whether the booklets will have differences as well ? Love, Phantas

I wonder what they are going to be charging for this?
Where is the TMOT and China Roses...oh my I thought they would have selected these...
Most of these are what I thought...but there are 3 or 4 songs that are not the best of Enya in my opinion...I really feel Enya's best was of her earlier days and that is what will be remembered...
Still I want to know the price...if they go over 30.00 U.S. dollars, this will sit on the shelf in my opinion and will be mostly a collector's item...
We shall see...

As I reported over at Unity a few minutes ago, AmazonUS has listings for both the cd and the cd-dvd set. The prices are $18.98 and $24.98 respectively. The release date is Nov. 24th for both. Looks like there's either been a little delay in the release or, as has happened before in the US, the US is getting the release a little later than other countries. www.amazon.com and type in "the very best of enya" into the search and you'll pull it up.

Thanks, TC, glad you can now pre-order 100 copies ;D I'm still waiting for amazon.ca to wake up and smell the enya coffee............................

Overall I'm pretty happy about this release. Was quite certain there wasn't going to be any new tracks, so I was not at all disappointed. I always believed it was a last minute thing that Warner asked of the Trio rather than a planned compilation.
I will probably order the dvd/cd version though since I never got a chance at OT: the video collection.

I just got a chance to see the track list today. Eh...it is what it is. I also would have liked to see a couple new songs, but who wouldn't? Still, I'm only purchasing it for the DVD. I hope though, that this new album will appeal to those people who don't have a good collection of Enya albums. We just have to remember that not everyone is a "hard core" Enya fan.
As a side note, I keep reading over at Unity that this is just Warners attempt to get more money. Ok? What do we expect them to do? It's like saying Warner should be shamed for wanting to make money - like it's a horrible thing. A lot of people make money off any release, and that's fine with me - people have to be able to put food on the table at the end of the day.
