Now I don't like to mislead people on things like this: But reading this article in the updated FAQ Section hints there is a recording in the pipelines... (Points to me for being the first to see this if it's true )

4. Will you be issuing any Loreena McKennitt recordings as SACDs, DVD-As or with 5.1 surround sound mixes?
With regards to DVDs, both Nights from the Alhambra and No Journey’s End are mixed in 5.1 surround sound, and each DVD also provides a menu choice to listen to it in 2.0 Stereo mix.

As for audio discs, many people who have discovered the SACD and DVD-A formats or 5.1 surround mixes have become enthusiastic about their relative merits and have asked us whether we will be supporting these formats in the future.

Historically, we have supported the audiophile audience wherever we can, and feedback we have received suggests that many Loreena fans have an interest in this area. We will continue to recognise the importance of sonic excellence. However, Loreena feels that such new-format options (SACD, DVD-A etc) are best considered at the onset of a creative project rather than applied to recordings retrospectively. That's not to say that the next studio recording will definitely have a 5.1 module, or will be available as an SACD or SACD Hybrid disc, or a DVD-A, but it will be seriously considered.

With the release of that recording still many months away, and with the rapid change in home audio systems and formats, it is hard to predict what might soon be available to both musicians and listeners.

The news you've been waiting for...

^Hopefully we may hear more informations about it as soon as possible. We should keep an eye on the official website news. Superb news!

Well if this is from the 2008 tour, it would at least have the Highwayman added

Living in America, I was unable to go to Loreena's 2008(or 9) tour, so to be able to experience the tour would be a real treat for me!

Hopefully I can buy it on iTunes!

What's interesting is how Barnes and Noble calls the new recording The Olive and the Cedar while Amazon calls it A Mediterranean Odyssey.


Ahh the speculation begins!

I seriously believe that if this "new album" was to come out on 20th oct, we would have heard a lot about it already.

As you can read from the title on Amazon, probably it will be a live recording from her last tour of this summer

You mean The Olive and the Ceder? You can already read something about it in this forum. Apparently it's a compilation album.
