(10/10)
I picked up this CD way back when it was first released because I liked the CD cover. I was hoping I stumbled across some cool new goth metal like "King Diamond" or maybe another "Alice Cooper". I popped in the CD and the first thing I hear is "The Voice of Enigma". I knew right away that this was going to be different than anything else I was currently listening to. There was no screaming guitar, or blistering drum and bass combos. This was simply a beautiful experience. I was swept away on the audial experience of language, song, music and sound effects that make up "Enigma". By now you have most likely heard "Sadness" or one of Enigma's other songs on a compilation CD like "Pure Moods". But, don't be satisfied with the single song, pick up the album. Enjoy the Enigma experience from start to finish. This CD is never far from my car stereo, and when I have a particularly bad day, "Enigma" is one of the first things I turn to. I can't explain it but, this music makes you feel better after listening, more at peace I guess. I know that sounds corny, but give it a try. "Enigma" is the best mistake I ever made.
