Free Music Notes for A Posteriori
Free Music Review: I was taken away from this planet.
Hit: 5 Stars
Enigma has a great pro: Takes its escence of its music, while blends it with fresh beats and sounds. This work shows great traces of soft and aggresive electronica blended with an "outer space" atmosphere. When I listened to the CD, I felt taken to somewhere next to the moon, looking at the stars and the Earth in front (possibly most of the track titles would push me into that thought). Enigma evolved for the good through time, and this is the product. Song like "Good bye Milky Way", "Dreaming of Andromeda" and "Northen Lights" would relax yourself and feel great emotions; while "Dancing with Mephisto" and "Feel me Heaven", would give you a great blast with a little more agrresive electronica and faster beats. Something I would have prefered is a different picture for the CD cover, I think I would be great a great space picture of a nebula, the Pleyades, a supernova or something; but anyways, after listening to this, that will be the last thing you might be thinking about. Great job Michael! Free Music Review: Nice to chill out with

I am an Enigma-holic who owns all the albums and love them all. As a musician myself I'm always searching for the ultimate unique musical experience and "A Posteriori" is awesome. As a whole the ambient spacey grooves here tend to be more similar from track to track and never change much dynamically or tempo wise - they tend to put the listener into a hypnotic trance and that is a good thing when you want that type of feeling.

Free Music Review: Enigma's comeback
Hit: 4 Stars
1st album of Enigma was a masterpiece. Second was not as good, but great. The rest were not worth listening to (in my opinion). After about 15 years of producing, frankly, junk Cretu is back with a new album I enjoy and listen to a lot. It is not the classic Enigma - this horse has been beaten to death already - but rather a new, more electronic direction with some Enigma sounds and hints. I think this is the right direction for Cretu - there simply will never be another "MCMXC A.D.". This album proves that he does not need another "MCMXC A.D." to give his fans wonderful music to listen to. Cretu should go and explore new worlds - we all know he can!

Love them or hate them Enigma has a sound all of there own. I never tire of listening to their unique sounds that give me a great sense of relaxation.Free Music Review: Lost in Space without female vocals.
Hit: 4 Stars
Not bad instrumental, but this CD has the fewest vocals/ lyrics of any of Enigma releases. You hear Michael Cretu's voice like twice. What made enigma exotic sounding were the female vocals. This CD is obscure and devoid of them, maybe a hint in track 4. His wife Sandra didn't make this release. Nor did Ruth-Ann Boyle whom vocals were behind Gravity of Love and Follow the Sun was also neglected. Voyageur was shocking to be sort of folksy, but after a couple plays, it was pretty magical. Voyageur had one top tier track (hits) and a couple of 2nd tier tracks (good to replay). Every other release had 1-2 top tier tracks and a bunch of 2nd tier tacks. A Posteriori is filled with 3nd tier tracks (background music) and one or two 2nd tier tracks.
This CD does sound like you are tripping in outer space, but not as ambient as The Thrillerseeker: "Synaesthesia" nor as exotic as before. Cretu is the master of difference types of instrumentals and effects, but this CD felt like he was just messing around on a sympathizer and didn't have the varies as his other releases. Sound like he morphed some of his previous tracks here, but that is true to most of them.
As a fan of Enigma with pretty much all his CDs, even the lesser "Invisible Man", I'll be waiting another 3 years for it next release. This is my least favorite CD of the series, but would not pass on any of them. Hopefully, Cretu include more vocals next time. I will use this CD for background music like Thievery Corporation: Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi.
