Best CD from the Enigma Trilogy!
Michael Cretu is a musical genius!. It's been a few years since its release, but this is THE Enigma CD, from the trilogy it's the best, it's full of Enigma's 'trademarks' such as the Shakuhachi flute and Gregorian monk chants; and songs such as "Beyond the Invisible' and 'TNT for the Brain' will blow your mind, there's not one song in this CD that is not worth listening to, it's a winner in every way, just like in MCMXC and 'The Cross of Changes', Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi! brings back the joyful and Gothic motif [I'm talking from the middle ages not the 'new' Gothic] Enigma has always put in its music.


T.N.T. for the CD
This is sort of a fusion of the first two albums. This is a great album based on one song: "Why". 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.


Awesome, great New Age!
I bought the CD just for this song, but I fell in love of it all. I have to say, I downloaded "The Child in Us" on IMesh, and I fell in love of the whole aura the song portrayed. Enigma is one of those artists who really makes music, and every touch, detail, and passion can be felt. The songs with lyrics, as well as those without each have a special meaning which transports you to someplace inside and make reflections. Even though some songs do not have lots and lots of lyrics, are brief but just right and DO HAVE A MEANING. Another point is that the music never stops from a song to the other, it is just a pleasant trip and the changes between songs are just well worked so each escence does not get lost or has an abrupt ending. Powerful "The Roundabout" and "Why. . . ! bring an interesting mixture of soft and agressive vocals, maintaining the concept of new age music blends; meanwhile, soft and beautiful "Child in Us", "Prism of Life", and "Shadows in Silence" totally brings auras of peace and thought. New Age is the music of the future as many already have that concept in mind, and will possibly be. This is way better than most of the musical crap among popular music, and when I listen to each song here I am just transported to a NEW ERA, and forget about what is being heard outside =).


Mesmerizing.........
To listen to Enigma is to
go out of your mind. . . . .
but in a good way.
Take the trip--
it's well worth it.
I highly recommend them to
one and to all.


The "best" New Age album ever
If you wish to get pure new age album I recommend this one because this would be the best you will have. I was reading through some trashy reviews of some customers who don't know actually what is new age music. This is the masterpiece of Enigma. I owned all 5 Enigma albums and my favourite one is this.

Cretu has used samples like Gregorian Chants, Celtic Chants in perfect way. The significant thing is all samples are based on the songs and not the songs are based on the samples. I saw in some reviews that the tracks like "Third of its kind","Oddessey of the mind" are just fillers. Thats not correct, those tracks are part of the whole story. Thats why we call this Enigma. Even the sleeve of this cd is greatly done. Definitely you will love this one. Dont afraid to buy this cd. Good Luck. . . . !!! .
