Why is it closing? Just let it live, who cares?

I'm wondering what's going on with the whole thing? As expected Unity has curbed the discussion.

so ridiculous. the Enya logo on that car is laughable. I LOVE Enya, but it's weird that he'd use [or they would use] his racing car to promote Enya. Weird.

So she looks old! She usually looks ageless, but it seems as if age is catching her a bit. At any rate, I hope she treats us to some new music this year.

Enya looks old in that photo.

Enya wrote May It Be in 2000 / 2001 FYI.....so the timeline is possible. Enya's personal life NEVER interested me, but it would seem unlikely she is married, at least, for this long and have it be unknown by so many in the media.

What I WOULD WEAR is a baseball cap with a quote from one of Enya's songs. "for so great a treasure words will never do" or "all the stars are fallen embers" or "water shows the hidden heart" it would get people asking questions.

As much as I love Enya....I wouldn't be caught DEAD wearing one of those.

This album died the moment it was released. It's a cash grab, plain and simple, and Enya, Nicky & Roma clearly couldn't care less about it. It could have been special, instead it was mediocre. Here's hoping Enya's back in the studio working on another non-holiday album

And you've choses Enya's most popular songs...but judging from your list...you seem to be a fan of pop music, so that's not surprising. Cool. That was a lot of work, thanks for sharing.

I believe you're absolutely correct in all of your assumptions Ben. I don't think Enya is a performer either. She's a studio-bound artist, always will be. It's certainly interesting to watch Aigle spin their way out of this discussion. I remember in one interview Enya said that the reason is that there were only 7 albums, like, that's not enough of a repertoire to choose 12 to 18 songs for a live show. The funniest part of the interview was, at the time, she cited 7 albums, when in fact, she had only released 5, haha. Anyway.....I've strapped in for the wait until she releases her next album. I heard that she's not in the studio at the moment so it will probably 2011 or 2012 until the next album.

Bigwig, for citing that this is flogging a dead horse, you've certainly have taken the whip and given it your best go. I believe this topic remains because, as aforementioned, EVERY TIME they release an album they talk about a live show. EVERY F****ng time! I don't buy the 'oh, she's just more comfortable being a studio musician' line, I just don't. As an artist, I would think she would JUMP at the chance to express her music in a different form. Also, Enya performing live shouldn't be about album sales. I don't get the argument that she doesn't need to because she's already sold so many cds. A live show should be about celebrating the music and offering it to your fans as something special, not sales. If Enya was to solely perform because of additional sales, then I wouldn't be behind the endeavor. The facts are, the Celtic Women [and others] have beaten Enya to the punch and perform her songs live, and they're not half bad. I'm a fan of choral music in general and there are some breathtaking groups out there that would render 'enya live' flawlessly. This wouldn't be difficult, Aigle is just stalling or not interested, yet, giving the impression of interest just until the promotional cycle is at an end. As long as they keep talking about performing live, this topic will always be front and center. If some are tired of people talking about then you should also be tired of Aigle talking about it as well. It's just that simple.

So, Enya's official online forum doesn't want to have anything to do with a live debate. My question to all of you here. Will Enya ever perform live? Why hasn't she performed live yet? Why do you think that Aigle [her recording studio] talks soo much about a live show and never makes good on their talks? An interesting debate was raging on Unity, and it was shut down, and most of the interesting comments were deleted. I'd like to discuss this here FREELY.

Long Long Journey - 1395

I'm probably one of Enya's biggest fans but I guess, I'd be interested in seeing an actual formal album do well if it wasn't a re-release of past material. I don't care about another 'best of' charting well i suppose. When she releases her new album and I'm behind it, then I'll be curious about it charting well. This album was released by the record company and only benefits them financially.

I AM JUST PUZZLED HOW WORRIED PEOPLE ARE ABOUT THE SALES OF THIS ALBUM AND IT'S PROMOTION???? Enya is a multi-millionaire and this 'best of' is a cash grab with nothing new aside from the re-release of Aniron. Who cares if it's promoted or not? Who cares about the commercials..what does it benefit us?

It's low, but what do you expect when you try and sell the same music to the same people all over again? With some new material, this release would have been substantial.

I wish i could just purchase Aniron. But alas, one has to purchase the entire album in order to get the track dang it. I won't be buying the album or DVD it seems.

I just listened to the new version of Aniron on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qhqVRGhmg8 and it's gorgeous. The ending is especially amazing.

I'm LOVING this version of Aniron. It doesn't sound any less stripped down then the LOTR version.

LOL! Well, good, I am excited about hearing Aniron at least. I can't stand the version on the LOTR soundtrack, not the song itself obviously, but that orchestral portion, it takes me right of the Enya experience.

Giddy that you purchased a boxed set of music you already own with nothing new to offer you?

I just thought I'd map out just exactly what's in store for us with this new Best Of Enya. The Music 1. No new songs 2. An unreleased version of Aniron [which I am excited about] The DVD 1. All of Enya's videos save for 3 [i believe] (which have been available on iTunes for years and on youtube] 2. A Life In Music : A EPK that was released 8 years ago when Enya released ADWR 3. No new documentary footage 4. The Making Caribbean Blue [which can be found on Youtube] 5. The Making of Only Time [which most fans have seen countless times] The Photos 1. ZERO new photos, everything is taken from older photography sessions. I don't post this topic to take the wind out of anyone's sails, I do so to really put it out there that this release is a simple cash grab by Warner to make money off of the same songs that's been released on the past THREE Enya collections, starting with Paint The Sky With Stars. My disappointment with this is that it COULD HAVE BEEN awesome, and Aigle could have made this best of their own with the addition of a new track or two and the inclusion of DVD material that hasn't been in circulation on the web or DVD for the past 8 years. I am excited to hear this unreleased version of Aniron but it ends there. The problem with Enya starts during the interims of her formal releases. She doesn't tour and seemingly REFUSES to participate in any sort of live show despite talking about it the most she ever has when And Winter Came released last year. If they would just shut up about it and stop creating false hopes in their fan base then there would be less overall frustration about the silence and the poor offerings. I have strapped in for the wait for the next album which I'm hoping will be a new direction [to some degree].

i like the new look as well, its the most professional i've seen enya.com look in years

agreed Ben! latheofheaven
