      Enigma ‎– The Cross Of Changes
      Label: Universal Music Group ‎– 573 723 7
      Series: The Colours Of Enigma – II
      Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Remastered, Yellow Translucent, 180Gr
      Country: Europe
      Released: 04 May 2018

      II 'Colours...' edition record is a few dB quieter than album I 'Colours...' edition record. The sound quality is pristine, warm & rich, has more depth and is more lively than CD copy I'm used to.
      I can't compare this edition to earlier vinyls as I've only had on CD.

        Yeah, mine is more green than yellow (think car anti-freeze). Sounds great though!!!

          Same here, 'lime green' and not 'yellow' :-) but sounds amazing. Feeling nostalgic...

            Very yellow copy. No problems with it. Good inherent volume and to my ears sounds richer overall compared to the original CD release.

              Mine is also like 'lime green' and not 'yellow' but I can say the sound of this pressing is awesome. With my setup (mid range) sounds amazing, you won't regret it!

                It's a crime that the original artworks of all of his studio albums where 'altered' and 'updated' with new graphic design.. this new ones have completely lost any 'mystical sense'. I'm really disappointed and I can't figure out why Michael Cretu took this decision.

                  What an amazing record, Enigma 2, The Cross of Changes. a sublime soundtrack to my youth, when I was involved in a lot of art, and esotheric experiences.

                    Got this today in town and it’s a transparent green colour . Nothing like the yellow in the pictures shown online .
