Editorial Review: Album Description: Seven Lives Many Faces is Enigma's seventh album. This album expands the sound catalogue of previous releases and it is expected to lead to a new Omni-Cultural wave. The lead single "Seven Lives" is a powerful fusion of modern and classical elements. Enigma is an Electronic musical project founded by Michael Cretu, David Fairstein and Frank Peterson in 1990. Cretu is both the composer and the producer; his former wife Sandra often provided vocals on Enigma tracks. Jens Gad co-produced and played guitar on three of the Enigma albums.17 tracks.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Seven Lives Many FacesIt's Enigma as you know it. You always interpret it to your own believes. Another great album from Enigma. Songs 1-6 slow, #7 rock, 8-12 enjoyment. Rating:  - Enigma is EnigmaI love this album and recommend everyone to judge it for themselves. This 2-CD set has some reminiscent material and some new sounding stuff... but it's all Enigma! Rating:  - What is Cretu thinking?I have all of Enigma's albums since the begining and he has been one of my favorite artists since he came out in 1990, I was in high school at the time. I have fallen in love with this style of music and have since bought all of B-Tribe's albums, the first Deep Forest, Delerium, all of Enya's, etc. But ever since "Cross of Changes" Enigma has gone down a path that I have found hard to follow. I see people writing about how creative he is and all that, and sure, nobody else really sounds that much like him anymore, but is that a good thing? Every album he has come out with since then has been more of the same. More of the male screaming lyrics, less of the sultry sexy female lyrics usually in French or Latin, more of the electric guitar and less ... Read More: Rating:  - A new feel for a new albumMichael Cretu's seventh album is a smoother mix of sounds and less eclectic than previous albums. It retains a chilled euro-pop feel and I've had to listen to it several times to develop some favourite tunes because nothing struck me immediately. There's the familiar musical and vocal introductory track and some songs have non-english-singing vocalists, like many previous Enigma albums. The Same Parents, La Puerta Del Cielo, and We Are Nature have an earthy, emotive and 'typical' Enigma feel to them. Seven Lives Many Faces is more subdued, less punchy than Cretu's previous offerings, yet with repeated listening it'll grow on you. The additional tracks are well-worth downloading. Rating:  - Each release looses a little more.Since the first 4 albums each release seems to loose more and more of what made Enigma's music special. I do not know whether it is a case of just not trying hard enough, or trying to morph into the mainstream musical styles. But this album is very weak and I actually found myself getting bored with it (never thought I'd say that about Enigma!). It almost feels like the orchestral elements got mixed in at the end to fill the content voids, some of the string stabs just sound really out of place and the vocals just seem to get more reverb and echo with each release as if trying to hide the bland vocal elements. Please, please return to your roots. |
