Description:

Enigma includes: Michael "Curly MC" Cretu (vocals, various instruments, programming).
Among the many artists that helped inject a pan-global flavor into American pop music is Enigma (A.K.A. Michael Cretu), a German artist who brought the sound of chanting Gregorian monks to the charts with "Sadeness (Part I)," a breakout smash from Enigma`s 1990 debut MCMXC a.d. The collection LOVESENSUALITYDEVOTION rounds out the rest of the `90s for Enigma with plenty of undulating rhythms and world music hybrids.
Dance beats are strung throughout this compilation and pop up on everything from the high-flying ambiance of "T.N.T. For The Brain" to the industrial clang of "Push the Limits" and the chugging "Modern Crusaders." One of Enigma`s charms is the way the most unlikely elements find their way into the songs. A murmuring children`s choir lightly breaks through the Asian-flavored "Cross Of Changes," the chant from a South American Indian gives the swirling "Return To Innocence" its distinctive character,and the whispered French and uttering of the title by Cretu`s wife Sandra lends "Mea Culpa" a sensual edge. LOVESENSUALITYDEVOTION turns out to be a great drug for both the mind and the soul
