Free Music Notes for A PosterioriFree Music Review: Inter-Planetary Moods Hit: 5 StarsThis is a GREAT album and if you're an Enigma fan you will already know that almost ALL of their CDs have ONE main 'tune' or melody that Cretu arranges/mixes in many different ways. I find myself humming one arrangement and skipping to parts of another track on the same CD. They blend together naturally. That's also the reason why most of the tracks continue on right into each other-without pauses in between.
There is definitely a 'Cosmos' feel....i.e. futuristic/other-worldly feel to this CD.
Free Music Review: Enigma continues to grow Hit: 5 StarsI love Enigma. I waited a long time for this album. No, it's not like the others, but it is, unmistakebly Enigma. A good sound system reveals the characteristic layer upon layer that is Enigma. Cretu continues to add a touch of sound at the exact right moment it is needed in each piece. Sounds that and notes that are a marvel to me. Kind of like an artist knowing just where to add a highlight or color. It is a departure from the earlier stuff, but most of us are too. I even liked Voyageur, though I think it was considerably less subtle and more pop-sounding. It has less layers, but it is still good. A Posteriori is a different subject, Earth in space and time. As a different subject, it is going to sound different. Monks and ethnic sounds aside, space sounds would be different. This is an expansion, this is future. As for Jens Gad. He appears to have moved on somewhat himself. If you haven't yet, check him out with "Jens Gad Presents" and his "Achillea" albums from Sequoia. He also, has moved in a different direction. If you want classic Enigma, listen to the older stuff. If you want Enigma that continues to grow and move into the future--listen to this one too. Goodbye Milky Way is truly beautiful. But so are the rest. As with the other albums, it is hard to listen to just one song. If you do, you may miss something. Rather like reading only the ending of a good book.
Free Music Review: Very good, but not with Jens Gad signature Hit: 5 StarsI'd strongly recommend this - especially in light of the voyageur disappointment - its very different, mostly because Jens Gads signature samples and soundscapes are not so dominant, but its clearly still Enigma - Sitting on the Moon is a really nice piece of work, followed closely by Dreaming of Andromeda and The Alchemist - if you're just looking for more stuff like the old Enigma you may be disappointed, but I'm happy to say I think this shows some real growth - can't wait to see what comes next
Free Music Review: Simply awesome! Hit: 5 StarsI have been a long time fan of Enigma and have all of their CDs. I highly recommend this CD to all Enigma fans as well as "beginners" Very sensual music. I keep listening over and over and don't get tired.
Free Music Review: Not a disappointment Hit: 5 StarsMy wife gave me this for Valentine's Day a little bit ago. As I was entering into ITunes I listened. I have yet to be disappointed by any of his works. We find that Enigma is the 'sexiest' of the CDs and use it for background mood music sometimes. You can not go wrong with this as a choice, especially if it is a gift for someone special.A Posteriori
