Highly influential, mysterious, and successful ambient-pop sculptors, incorporating new age and dance influences.

Biography

With their 1991 hit [roviLink="MC"]"Sadeness," Enigma brought the new age fascination with Gregorian chants and old-world culture to the clubs; the resulting single was both unique and irresistible. The rest of debut album MCMXC A.D. followed that pattern successfully, although without quite matching the stunning success of the hit single. On their second album, 1994's Cross of Changes, some of the old-world elements remained, but the new age angle came to the forefront in a set of slick, radio-friendly dance-pop. Enigma 3: Le Roi Est Mort, Vive le Roi (1996), The Screen Behind the Mirror (2000), Voyageur (2003), A Posteriori (2006), and Seven Lives Many Faces (2008) followed. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
