Biography

Enigma are an electronic band who incorporate ambient, house and new age themes into their music. The driving force behind Enigma is Michael Cretu who, along with Sandra Cretu, David Fairstein and Frank Peterson, set up the project in 1990. Due to the way that Enigma build their tracks, they found themselves in court on more than one occasion in disputes over sampled sounds and music. This… Read more in Amazon's Enigma Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

A greatest-hits package sampling four Enigma discs released between 1990 and 2000, LSD--Love Sensuality Devotion splendidly documents the influential output of Michael Cretu, a techno-bohemian who successfully creates cinematic, otherworldly New Age musical suites. Now, more than a decade removed from the arrival of Sadeness (Part 1) and its eyebrow-raising mix of sacred and sensual subplots, people can debate whether Cretu's music represents savvy commercial calculation or satisfying art. LSD suggests a split decision, though tracks with intriguing blends of atmosphere and rhythm, such as "Gravity of Love", "TNT for the Brain" and "Morphing Thru Time", reveal an inventiveness that demonstrates Cretu is capable of more than sophisticated novelty tunes. Two new songs, neither especially noteworthy, open this package. Meanwhile, remastered older tracks segue beautifully to exude a satisfying, seamless unity.--Terry Wood

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you'd expect from Enigma - plus a little bit more, 7 Nov 2001
This review is from: Love Sensuality Devotion: The Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Those who already possess the considerable Enigma collection, to date, may be a little hesitant to add this 'Greatest Hits' to the pile.
I have all four of the previous albums, along with the Trilogy pack, as well as many of the CD singles.
I have still enjoyed this latest offering. Included are many of the old favourites in their original form. 'TNT for the Brain' is a different, more upbeat, version than the original.

Joy of joys, there is a little new material ... 'The Landing' is another typically Enigma-esque introduction, and 'Turn Around' is the only full-length new track included to whet your appetite for the can't-come-too-soon Engima 5. It definitely signals a more upbeat, modern direction that Cretu seems to be taking.

All in all, a worthy addition to an existing collection. If, however, you've never treated yourself to one of the previous Engima offerings, this is an excellent way to hear a bit of what you've been missing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensuality for the brain .., 25 Nov 2001
By 
Karen (karen.t3@zoom.co.uk) (County Armagh, Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Sensuality Devotion: The Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Listening to this album makes you wonder why more people don't make this kind of music instead of the usual Pop Idol/HearSay stuff. However, they probably couldn't do it like Michael Cretu who can combine spirituality, dance, sensuality and meditation in his music like no-one else. One minor quibble - don't think "Morphing thru Time" should have been included. "The Child in Us" from the third album would've blended better with the end song "The Cross of Changes" and is a better song. But would I recommend it? Absolutely!! Just the thing if you're suffering from Geri Halliwell/Robbie Williams overload (which is just about all of us, surely). Magical and sensual.

5.0 out of 5 stars How did I manage to miss out on this for so long?, 3 Mar 2003
By 
Malc (Watford, Herts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Sensuality Devotion: The Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
I had heard 2 or 3 Enigma hits in the past and was impressed with the quality of the music and video content. Why I did not investigate them further at the time remains a mystery to me.
Thanx to Annie in the Village for reminding me how good Enigma is.
From the moment this CD dropped through my letter box, I have not stopped playing it. Cretu has been very creative here in blending his own imaginative style with a few samples from Carl Orf, tribal chants etc. The result is outstanding, the music is so spiritual, it touches your soul and engages you from start to finish. I cannot imagine anyone not loving this compilation!
