Enigma - Love Sensuality Devotion: The Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > World Dance
by: Enigma

Release Date October 23, 2001
I have long been a fan of Michael Cretu's breakaway music format and it is always a breath of fresh of air. It's always good to listen to Enigma when hit with the intensity of today's music scene.
The playlist is pretty much on par on what I would have expected from a compilation.
BUT! Where is "The Child In Us" (from their juggernaut 3:LE ROI EST MORT, VIVE LE ROI! album)? It is by far Enigma's most inspirational song. This album missed the boat 18 times to put this masterpiece of recording on the album. To me, "The Child In Us" in a nutshell represents what the Enigma project aimed to do. It may sound like I'm finding some way to nitpick, but that song *has* to be on the album for it to be "Greatest Hits".
My advice is to ... Read More:

The Cross of Changes

CD-Charts > Music > World Dance
by: Enigma

Release Date February 08, 1994
Much as I love all the Enigma albums, this is my favorite. It is just so different from all the others, especially the debut. They went eastern with this. More Middle Easternish sounding, but we'll call it "eastern". Like the debut, a good album to relax to.

Enigma 3: Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!

CD-Charts > Music > World Dance
by: Enigma

Release Date November 26, 1996
This is a great album based on one song: "Why". This is sort of a fusion of the first two albums. One thing you will hear me say about Enigma on every review: "They are good for relaxation". And this does not miss the mark. It will make you very relax or even fall asleep easily if you are in the habit of listening to music befoer you sleep.

This is real music for simply listening, or a great complement to a small, intimate dinner party. First rate.

Release Date December 14, 1993
I purchased this CD in 1993 and have practically worn it out. The music is so diverse, captivating and styled all it's own I have enjoyed it for years. I just love the voices and listen closely to their language. Had a great time listening and hanging drapes from couch to couch dancing around with my brother. It's a great CD!

Voyageur

Release Date September 30, 2003
My only real "un-favorite" Enigma album. Good for relaxation, but it seemed to me this was just a "well, we need to put out an album" sort of thing. I have mixed feelings about this album. It's the only one I don't listen to frequently, but it is Enigma.

The Screen Behind the Mirror

CD-Charts > Music > World Dance
by: Enigma

Release Date January 18, 2000
I believe this to be 1 of Enigma's 2 best albums. It compares very well to MCMXC A.D. but in a different light. MXMXC was more electronic classical. This CD is more European Classical meets Japanese Taiko Drumming. Booming bass and great sound effect. It really cries out to be played on great audio equipment and really good speakers. It just won't be as good on your car CD player and only degrades more though headphones. So listening to your IPod or a portable CD players will greatly reduce the experience. This cd demands an auditorium to fully enjoy the smorgasbord of musical experience. Go chase down your audiophile friend and listen to this album on his stereo. You'll see what I mean.

Ozomatli, how could you go wrong? Tasty latin, world, jazz, hip hop, salsa. How many bands can play that many styles? Ozomatli can.

Ozomatli show how you should do a 9 piece band. Please, let's not even mention Slipknot. This band actually uses each band member, you know, instead of Slipknot, who sound like they use one of their guitarist, corey, and the drums pretty much the whole time (come on, you have a sampler, a dj, two percussionists, two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, you idiots. USE THEM!!!). It's really some interesting stuff to listen to. Though the songwriting sometimes seems to falter. I don't know, but it sometimes seems to be a bit okay, not merely awesome, either great or good.

BAH! I've lost it! get it. ... Read More:
