  • Enigma5 – Bootleg album from Shagnhai 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 to brilliantly made, although 99% of the tracks are real Enigma [except Anggun-Snow in the Sahara]
  • Enigma & D-Emotion Project – Bootleg album.
