Enigma is an electronic musical project founded by Michael Cretu (Romanian musician), David Fairstein and Frank Peterson in 1990. Cretu, who based his recording studio A.R.T. Studios in Ibiza, Spain in the early 1990s is both the composer and the producer of the project. His former wife Sandra often provided vocals on Enigma tracks. Jens Gad co-produced and played guitar on three of the Enigma albums.
After some solo projects, Cretu started to produce the first Enigma record “MCMXC a.D.” in 1990 using the nickname “Curly MC”. Until today, with seven albums out, “Seven Lives, Many Faces” being the latest one (released on September 19, 2008), 35 million CDs sold worldwide, 50 number one hits, 90 platinum discs, and songs appearing on more than 1,000 compilation albums.
With the 1990 hit “Sadness Part I,” Enigma brought the new age fascination with Gregorian chants and old-world culture to the world and clubs; the resulting single was both unique and irresistible.
On his second album, 1993’s “Cross of Changes”, some of the old-world elements remained, but the new age angle came to the forefront in a set of slick, radio-friendly pop. The well-known “Return to Innocence” was born.
Enigma 3: “Le Roi Est Mort, Vive le Roi” followed in 1996 - a musical summary of the previous concepts.

Just bought the Platinum Collection after I had it as a recomendation for a while. This music is different, not bad, just different. Rivers Of Belief, Return To Innocence, Gravity Of Love and Follow the Sun are really good!

Hey guys whtsup ! You can call me as a die hard fan of THE PHENOMENON CALLED AS ENIGMA . Guys , ENIGMA is highly highly and severely UNDERRATED to begin with. I dont knw why we have music awards like grammy awards and others ,they have become so commercial that they lost their souls. Music by Enigma is the kind of music I would prefer to call it as the MOST PURE MUSIC outhere. I mean ,there is no match to this kind of music anywhere. And I'm not just saying this. I was a teenager when started listening to Enigma ,now i'm in my late twenties , I still listen to the CROSS OF CHANGES , i think tells what

think it tells what I think about ENIGMA. I would call ENIGMA as an UNDYING MUSIC PHENOMENON . I mean if you guys have heard the tracks like { GOODBYE MILKYWAY , ALL THE TRACKS IN THE 3rd Album , loneliness , gravity of love , Erotic dreams album , and the 1st track in the Posteriori , Northern Light , Twenty thousand leagues , oh man the list goes on and on ......} Guys u have no idea what Enigma is..... I could describe it this way , If at all Enigma had a star like Micheal Jackson in them , Enigma would 've levelled the fame of the KING OF POP in there own genre . MICHAEL CRETU = MICHAEL JACKSON MICHAEL CRETU you are an undisputed king of MUSIC AND U HAVE PROVED JUST THAT IN YOUR FIRST ALBUM man! and as for the latest album SLMF ........... {SPLENDID} i dint even start yet...

SEVEN LIVES AND MANY FACES In this album , Enigma has mastered how to mix rythym, melody and modern sounds in Tandem to generate the feel of an out of this world experience . Guys if you dont know wht i'm talking about , just listen to this album in room with an advanced music system with all the lights switched off and when you finished listening to this album in the same room you'd regret that the music has finally stopped and again down to earth! . JeTaime till I die , is my most favorite track in the latest album , the singer cretu , has poured his heart and soul into it . I wished they had actually created a music video for such a song. HAIL ENIGMA !
