Fair warning some of the samples and track names don't match, clicking on Orinoco Flow will get you The Voice for example.

I'm looking forward to this! But I'm broke, so I'm probably going to have to wait until Christmas. Oh well.

Lousy samples they stop right when it starts to get good!  Wink I bet they aren't even 30 secs! btw is that Alex singing Ave Maria? If its Chloe she sounds really different.


P.S Beyond the Sea is the Japanese Single version!

When you think of me
sing a heart-spun song
When it's over,
sing it once more.
When you dream of me
dream when I'll meet you
on that distant shore.

My copy of The Greatest Journey finally arrived from Amazon.de. I give you the track listing and whose singing/playing on what:
  • The Call  (Alex, Chloë, Lisa, Lynn, Máiréad, Órlagh)
  • Pie Jesu  (Chloë, Lynn, Máiréad
  • Harry's Game  (Órlagh)
  • The Butterfly  (Máiréad)
  • The Voice  (Lisa)
  • Danny Boy  (Méav)
  • Orinoco Flow  (Lisa, Méav, Órlagh)
  • You Raise Me Up  (Chloë, Lisa, Lynn, Máiréad, Órlagh)
  • Shenandoah - The Contradiction  (Máiréad)
  • The Isle of Inisfree  (Órlagh)
  • Dúlaman  (Méav)
  • Green The Whole Year Round  (Lisa)
  • Ave Maria  (Chloë)
  • The Sky And The Dawn And The Sun  (Chloë, Lisa, Máiréad, Méav, Órlagh)
  • Somewhere  (Chloë, Lisa, Méav, Órlagh)
  • Beyond The Sea  (Chloë, Lisa, Máiréad, Méav, Órlagh)
  • Mo Ghile Mear (Chloë, Lisa, Máiréad, Méav, Órlagh)
  • Spanish Lady  (Chloë, Lisa, Máiréad, Méav, Órlagh)

The insert this time isn't a booklet but rather a folded six panel sheet and there are some interesting things to be gleaned from it. The gospel choir that does the backups on YRMU is the Discovery Gospel Choir. The album design was once again done by Máiréad's sister in law Caroline. The two pictures used on the sleeve are the one warehouse picture from CW.com and the white individual photos all put together. Both include Alex. Synan O'Mahony is listed as the stylist so I'm assuming he either made or picked out the girls dresses. Scott Porter is now listed the CEO of CW Ltd. with Dave Kavanagh being the Executive Chairman. And we've added another Kelly sister, Joanne, to the company as a product manager.

Without hesitation I'm going to say the BIGGEST surprise of the album is Chloë's voice. As others have noted in the thread about The Call her voice is different... it sounds more like she's settled into it and it's lost some of its breathy-ness and gained some MAJOR power. Because of this Pie Jesu is a total surprise and it is a gorgeous duet with Lynn. Ave Maria has the same music as it does on the original CW CD but Chloë recorded new vocals for it and it's awesome.

The Call is new, obviously, Orinoco Flow sounds like they just changed the music not the singing, You Raise Me Up has an added verse and starts out in a different key then the original version, and Green the Whole Year Round is a studio track, not the live version that you can buy off iTunes. Shenandoah - The Contradiction is a studio track... which is kinda odd to listen to as I'm so used to hearing the live versions and I've seen Máiréad do that combo live on the tours. Everything else on the album is stuff taken from the other CDs.

That should, I hope, answer any and all questions people might have about the new CD. If I've missed something feel free to ask.

No, I don't speak German. But, Amazon is Amazon so I walked myself through the checkout on Amazon.com the same time I was checking out on Amazon.de. It also helped that I'm really familiar with the Amazon checkout process.

And good call, I did forget to mention SDS. It's not the tour version, so we're still missing the tour verse. *sigh* Chloë sings Hayley's lines.

And there is no DVD yet in Germany.
