"Return to Innocence" ... "Age of Loneliness" ... ENIGMA!

Review Score: (10/10)
The beauty of the this album, or any music by Enigma for that matter, is far beyond words. Despite being slapped with a newage label to their name, Enigma really is nothing close to being airy fairy music and is generally darker than you typical newage music. Soulfull, engergetic, hypnotic, mesmerizing, intense, unique and sensual are all words that immediately come to mind with listening to this cd.

"Return to Innocence" was definately the song that propelled this cd high on the charts back in 1994 and is still as fresh and beautiful as the first time I heard it! Despite the claim that a reviewer made of the track containing unauthorized samples, that is false! The vocals sampled in the song were in fact never copywrited to begin with and Enigma obtained full permission to use them. Ironically, the controversy over this claim in fact heighted interest in the song and sales of the album even more!

The magnetism of Enigma is far to strong to ever detour people away from it. Not even the harshest critics of this artist have ever been able to explain the continious album sales and steady cult following Enigma has earned or why over a hundred other bands (and radpidly counting) are still attempting to immitate this musical phenomenon without near matched success.

An Enigma indeed!
