The Cover

The cover for the new release was first published by Roma Ryan on Enya's official forum Unity to rather diverse reactions from the fans. Later, a new modified version appeared on Amazon.de and Amazon.co.jp. I must say that while in the beginning I didn't like the old cover, I'm quite a big fan of the new one. It looks much more slick, clean and realistic.
