weird - serious talk about enigma. guess this would be the place for it, though. :) Quoting klfboy _ <klfboy@hotmail.com>:
I agree. I had the first three CD's, which at the time sounded perfect for me, but as soon as the fourth album came out, I sold them all...
i actually like the first two a lot, but i didn't even bother with the third. i remember picking up the first single from the third album, and there was a big disclaimer in the liner notes that said, iirc, "THERE WILL BE NO DERIVATIVE REMIXES FROM THIS ALBUM" and i thought "pff, well then why would i buy it?", because...
I personally best liked the 2nd album as a whole.
...i thought the first one was very definitely a good "pure" album start to finish, but the second had some embarrassing album tracks. the second, on the other hand, had far, far better singles and remixes than the first. MCMXC A.D. (really a great album title) has nothing on it i skip, and parts of it still give me the ol' spine-tinglies (i.e. when the music/vocals kick in on "rivers of belief"). second album has some ridiculous over-the-top moments (guitar solo on "i love you, i'll kill you" - that thing is like, what, 2 minutes long?!) and some real cheesy tracks ("silent warrior"). that being said, i like it, but it is cheesy, y'know? ;) remixes from the second album were flat-out awesome, and "eyes of truth" and "carly's song" are easily two of the best tracks from that era of electronic music.
Plus (on the negative side), Creatu was behind Goombay Dance Band (among others), you know.
