Exceptional boxed set.
I did and since have explored their entire catalog. If you're new to Ambient New Age Electronica, start here. Enigma is a pillar in the genre. A variety of vocal styles, including chant; swirling ambient chill; light, happy melodies; dark, driving beats and guitar riffs; all find a place on these three disks. I have branched out to enjoy many other artists in this and similar genres. Nothing has diminished my appreciation of Enigma, its strengths have only been reaffirmed. Plus, the packaging of this box set is kinda cool.


Trilogy
I can't stop playing it over and over again. I would have paid $27 just to own the song "Prism of Life" it is simply as good a song as can be written.

Close your eyes, and loose yourself. Pure Magic!
Yes, thats all. I first became interested in Enigma about 6 weeks ago. I found out about them VIA Frank Petersons works (Producer for Sarah Brightman, composer) and immediately bought this trilogy when I saw it in Melbourne.
Basically not knowing what it would be like, I lay down and entered into the world of Enigma. I don't think I've been back since!

Enigma draws in the listener, much like Lord of the Rings immerses the reader. Enigma is spiritual, medieval, tribal and all round wonderful. As soon as I heard "The Voice of Enigma" and "Sadeness," on MCMXCa. D, I was captivated and then it got even better with "Mea Culpa" and "River of belief. "

The second disc (Cross of Changes), has more timeless songs including the excellent "Silent Warrior" "The eyes of Truth," "I love you . . . I'll Kill you" and "Return to Innocence" and these were really special. This one is more tribal, less Gregorian style and it took me a while to get used to as I love the good old Gregorian stuff, but still, it prepared me for disc 3 (Le Roi Est Mort Vive le Roi!) which, I have to agree is like the cross between the two, and I loved this album! I'm not going to list these, as every track is very, very good.

I love to listen to Enigma on my discman at nightime, that way I slip into another world as I'm falling asleep, thats how they want it to be, and thats how its meant to be.
You know I loved ENIGMA TRILOGY that much, that after that, I bought "The Screen behind the Mirror"(fourth album) and "Love Sensuality, Devotion" (the best of Enigma) and this is all in the space of about a month. Looking forward to the new Enigma album "Voyager" very soon!, I'm an Enigma fan now and forever, The voice of Enigma screams: BUY ME!.


You will just love this collection

I got ENIGMA TRILOGY and TRILOGY FANTASY in one package. Really worth the price. my happiness that day was in that package I got. So relaxing, powerful, and energizing music.

The song I liked at most is "4. BEYOND THE INVISIBLE" (third CD) this song is so powerful and energizing (Just like alot of other songs within this collection).

I'm sure almost all of you heard of "ENIGMA" and familiar with the type of music ENIGMA represents.
Well, listen to this, If you like this type of music just get this CD plus FANTASY TRILOGY and you'll definitely find happiness. However, If you never tried this type of music before then it's time to try it. It might be your new love.


Peace for the Soul
A great New Age experience from Michael Cretu and wife Sandra.
