Seven Lives Many Faces and still kicking.
I have most of the released albums (and even one of the supposed underground albums) and I have to say I love this album. I've read several of the other reviews on this album, and I have to disagree.

As a learning producer and musician. . . . This album is, from a technical aspect, awesome. And that's unbiased. The arrangement of strings and other classical instruments put to hip hop and club loops is pure audio stimulation. It's subtle and unexpected, and definitely NOT more of the same. My favorite Enigma album is 'Engima 3: Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi' and this comes in a close, VERY close second.

This album causes you to look a little deeper, and listen a little more. If you're a sound->color synesthesian then you'll get waaaaay more out of this album and norms do.

A must own. Special Edition even more so if you can get it.


Enigma: Seven Lives Many Faces
There are only two songs I really like. This is not my favorite Enigma CD, and I have many.


Mindblowing - the most EPIC Enigma yet!
On this new album, Cretu goes for a "worldbeat" feel, which implements many of the cultural elements he's woven throughout his music already. Of all the Enigma albums I can compare it to, I'd say this is most similar to The Cross Of Changes.
Yet this album is a return to form. After the mostly vocal-free A Posteriori, this album brings back many of the beautiful voices and melodies as before, this time including his own children on "The Same Parents. "

Highlights include the almost hip-hop influenced "7 Lives", and "La Puerta Del Cielo" evokes the classic "Return to Innocence" with the voice of a beautiful woman chanting throughout, while the music ebbs and flows along with her.

Its recommended to buy the double disc edition of this album, as there were several instrumentals composed for this album. The heavy industrial keyboards on "Hells Heaven" and soft budding beats on "Downtown Silence" show that Cretu is making excellent progress with The Alchemist (a workstation he's composed the last 2 albums with).

What more can be said? It's Enigma, of course it's going to be great! Go out and buy this album today!!!.


A very good album from Enigma
I'm giving it 4 starts only because I've missed the 'dark mist' that covers their songs in their previous albums. well ofcourse its another beautiful album from Enigma. But still, this album got its own. . . taste! I love most of the songs. Thanks Engima for this wonderful music.


at first not sure, but then I could not stop listening
. at first I was not sure about this version, but then I could not stop listening, once I took the time to hear the brilliance of the work.
