Yikes, Clannad! My primary school teacher played Clannad at top volume while he did paperwork and we made a start on projects or homework. We could go home once we got a certain amount done. Straight-A student, me. Fast worker too :O:

Enya? Allow me to quote my favourite stand-up comic, Dylan Moran

This stage, if it hasn't already, probably will see a production of the Vagina Monologues. Which I cannot wait to see, because it sounds so fabulously ****ing stupid. Everybody knows that if female genitalia could speak, it would sound exactly like Enya.

That's how I discovered Clannad as well. RoS was shown on a public channel here, and at the time I described the music to a friend as "As green as the forest they filmed it in."

I now have pretty much all their albums. I prefer the earlier traditional-music-with-the-ocassional-electric-guitar-thrown-in to the more recent New-Age stuff.

As for Robin, I have the entire series on videotape. Unfortunately only the first series, with Michael Praed, is available on DVD here. And I also agree that it's the best version ever.

Only the swcond half of third season.

However, the german box also contains the English original tone, and it is complete:

http://www.amazon.de/Robin-Hood-Die-...168887&sr=8-14

This box from English Amazon seems to include the complete three seasons of the series, it is a german box, but again with English original sound (only the box print is german, as i undersatand it).

http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-revi...#RGRD560J2YELJ

But check that you DVd player can handle zone 2 DVDs and PAL.

At least in Europe, ordering internationally at different Amazons is no problem. I occasionally do that in Britain, when prices are cheaper there (tin box of Blade Runner costed me less than half the german price, including shipping). I have recently ordered a sim via Ebay in the US, and it took just 12 days (and taxes...). eSim manages to deliver new Steel Beasts-CDs from California in 8 days or less to my German place. Always standard airmail, no express option.

Sinead
Enya - yes remember her well but digged Sinead far more. :)

They came out with a disk in 2008, which I think is their latest. There is a compilation released in 2010. Historically Enigma releases a disk about every 3-4 years.

Looks like they are still in business. :yeah:

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player.

Still doesn't help me. But thanks for trying. :sunny:

[edit] Wait...what?

I was looking around, and it seems that I'm behind the times.
http://www.amazon.com/Robin-Sherwood.../ref=pd_cp_d_0

It doesn't list region, but NTSC is the US format, right? Maybe I need to spend some money tomorrow.

[edit 2] Oh, and look what else is available:
http://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Rob...ref=pd_sim_d_4

I have the first season. Didn't know the full series had been released. Decisions, decisions...

Europe is region 2, NorthAmerica is region 1. Most players sold in europe, as far as I know almost all, should play region 0 DVDs without problem, it is "codeless" or "global", so to speak. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, US=NTSC, Europe=PAL. However, many players being sold over here are capable to play both formats. For example I once had a concert DVD by the Corrs in NTSC, and it ran on my DVD player and PAL TV. The difference was not to be seen.

In case of doubt try to lease a regional code 0-DVD and a PAL-DVD and see if you can play them on your machine. A risk that it does not work, remains. But chances are such that if it is dear to you, you should check it out.

There are a great many free 'region-free' DVD software programmes out there which remove the region code....naturally :DL
