biography

With their 1991 hit "Sadeness," Enigma brought the new age fascination with Gregorian chants and old-world culture to the clubs; the resulting single was both unique and irresistible. The rest of the album followed that pattern successfully, although without quite matching the stunning success of the hit single. On their second album, 1994'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 dance-pop. Enigma 3: Le Roi Est Mort, Vive le Roi followed in 1996. A side project, Trance Atlantic Airwaves, issued The Energy of Sound in 1998. The fourth Enigma record, The Screen Behind the Mirror, followed in early 2000, and in 2003 Voyageur came out. Three years later, A Posteriori was released, followed by Seven Lives Many Faces in 2008. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

  - Ever since the first Enigma album, I've been entranced with its haunting sounds. Even before I was old enough to handle money, I begged and begged my parents to buy me the cassette. Now over a decade later, with all the albums at my whim, I can never stray too far away from the path that will last me a lifetime.

  - I have been a huge fan of Enigma for over 10 years. They never fail to take me to a beautiful place. I love the chants and the message even with their instrumentals. It's a total mindgasim.

  - Ever since i first listen to the first album, it was love at first site. A journey with every sound, every beat...<br/><br/>A love affair that has lasted till this day. I will for always listen to Enigma for there is nothing, and no other artist close to the artistry that they have accomplished.
