The Dusted Variations is a set of songs from the musical projectEnigma covered byRollo Armstrong. It is the sixth disc from Enigma's15 Years Afterbox set, labeled as a bonus disc and also includes the radio edit of "Hello and Welcome".
With the exception of the opening track, the album is composed of covers done by Rollo in anambient andminimalist style. The only instruments used in the songs areviolins,pianos,drums,bell-like instruments,guitars, and somesynths. The songs were mixed by Rollo,Mark Bates, andGrippa. The slow style of Rollo's covers raised the ire of some Enigma fans.
Before the disc's track list was confirmed, there were plenty of alterations, with some songs being switched for another. In the end although "Endless Quest" was listed in the track list, the song was actually "Principles of Lust".
