THE MUSIC OF ENIGMA

A POSTERIORI BY ENIGMA

After six albums, Michael Cretu has yet to run out of ideas for how to twist and morph his pulsating dreamscapes into new concoctions. Compared with his previous albums, A POSTERIORI is easily his most ambient album to date, losing the dance pop and verse-chorus-verse vocals of VOYAGEUR's fare and distancing itself from the gothic trance of THE SCREEN BEHIND THE MIRROR. A Galileo-era astronomy theme runs through the album and is reflected in the music, with songs that are spacious, mysterious and a bit meditative. Being an Enigma album, vocals and chant are used freely thoughout the album, although more in the form of snippets and samples than full vocals. "Goodbye Milky Way", the album's first single release, feels like a cosmic redux of Cretu's classic "Return to Innocence"; while "The Alchemist," "Dreaming of Andromeda" and "Hello and Welcome" display Cretu's gift with lush, immersive sonics.

VOYAGEUR

Prepare for another surreal journey into the mind of Michael Cretu. Enigma cements their status as one of the more esoteric and artsy groups to fall under the heading of new age music with VOYAGEUR. Tone-wise, the album most closely resembles the group's earlier album THE CROSS OF CHANGES in that the music is more dreamy and trippy rather than dark and gothic, as Cretu's last two outings were. The compositions are a wicked kaleidoscope of heavy basslines, dreamy piano, trippy techno effects and dramatic vocals. Ruth-Ann (from electronica group Olive) provides vocals on two of the album's more interesting, pop-friendly tracks, "Boum Boum" and "Following the Sun." Another highlight is "The Piano," a stunningly ethereal instrumental track that's drenched with atmosphere.
