Not My Favorite Enigma CD, but...

Review Score: (8/10)
It has taken me years to fully appreciate the ambient sound and mystical nature of this third Enigma installment...While not my favorite out of all the Enigma cds, I have come to realize that this time around Cretu and company had created a more "spiritual" and vocal project.Incidentally, it was also the last project that Enigma female vocalist Louisa Stanley would lend her mysteriously deep yet British accented vocals(The Voice of Enigma)... A previous reviewer noted that the feel of the album is of an aquatic nature (possibly in that the music in it's entirety flows in such a mellow manner in the segues). The only songs to carry any striking resemblance to the other two previous Enigma albums is T.N.T. For The Brain and The Roundabout---think Principles of Lust and Age Of Loneliness with a hint of Return to Innocence. This is the Enigma title to really relax to or just chill out.

So, any fan or new listener picking this up for the first time will not be disappointed in its thematic flow but rather in anticipating any dance-Gregorian numbers. This is proof that Enigma was still evolving and continues to evolve !
