  • Enigma5 – Bootleg album from Shanghai released before Voyaguer, the album was very shoddily made and never gained much publicity outside of Shanghai
  • Enigma- Best: – This album seems to have been reproduced in more than 4 different forms, each with their own tracklisting. Album artwork for these albums are not worth looking at and the albums are not too brilliantly made, although all of the tracks are real Enigma, except Snow in the Sahara (by Anggun)
  • Enigma & D-Emotion Project – Bootleg album.
