Free Music Notes for Seven Lives Many Faces (2 CDs)
Free Music Review: Not their best, but still very good!
Hit: 4 Stars
I think a lot of people are dissapointed because this album is a little different then Enigma's previous albums. That doesn't make it bad, it is just a little different. I was a bit scared when buying this album because I didn't know if I would like it or not. But after listening to it a few times, I think it is really good. Yes, there are a couple of tracks that aren't that great, but that is ok. I didn't like every song on all of Enigma's other albums either. You can listen to some of the songs on youtube first if you want an idea of what you are getting. What puzzles me, is that other reviewers say that this album is too much hip hop like and one of their favorite songs is Seven Lives; but that song is the most hip hop of them all! It has some beat box type singing and rhythms, which is different but sounds ok and overall the song is really good. I would say overall, this album is not as emotional or sexual as some of Enigma's past work. It is still a great buy and will be enjoyable for most Enigma fans (listen with an open mind!). I got this album at Walmart for $13.99 (the 2 cd set), they also sell the 1 cd album for $11.99.. way cheaper then Amazon which is surprising.Free Music Review: Seven Lives Many Faces and still kicking.

I've read several of the other reviews on this album, and I have to disagree. I have most of the released albums (and even one of the supposed underground albums) and I have to say I love this album.
As a learning producer and musician.... This album is, from a technical aspect, awesome. And that's unbiased. The arrangement of strings and other classical instruments put to hip hop and club loops is pure audio stimulation. It's subtle and unexpected, and definitely NOT more of the same. My favorite Enigma album is 'Engima 3: Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi' and this comes in a close, VERY close second.
This album causes you to look a little deeper, and listen a little more. If you're a sound->color synesthesian then you'll get waaaaay more out of this album and norms do.
A must own. Special Edition even more so if you can get it.
Free Music Review: I would still buy it!
Hit: 4 Stars
Yes, indeed it has some boring moments. But the thing is: the first time I listned to Voygeur I almost threw it out the window (I still have some difficulties with Boom Boom!). I guess my point is: it will grow on you.
The art work is brilliant and the Bonus CD has one interesting thing: try to find out which song has the same chord scheme, time signature and tempo as Following the sun.
Best Enigma album: A posteriori
Album to buy if you're new to Enigma: The Cross of Changes
Free Music Review: Pretty good, but...
Hit: 4 Stars
I've seen several other people make good points so I'll not be redundant. I put this on par with, though definitely distint from, A Posteriori and both of these as better than Voyageur. If you're already an Enigma fan, this is a strong release, except one thing... What is that awful sound in Hell's Heaven that sounds like a telephone throwing up!? I would really like that song, and have given this entire CD five stars, had it not been for that jarring, fingernail-pulling-off sound.Free Music Review: A very good album from Enigma
Hit: 4 Stars
well ofcourse its another beautiful album from Enigma. I'm giving it 4 starts only because I've missed the 'dark mist' that covers their songs in their previous albums. But still, this album got its own...taste! I love most of the songs. Thanks Engima for this wonderful music.
