Enigma
Artist Overview
Enigma started out as, indeed, a riddle wrapped in a mystery. Their first album, 1990's MCMXC A.D., had little by way of credits, causing many to wonder just who these Gregorian-chanting chill-mongers were. Enigma turned out to be songwriter/producer/keyboardist Michael Cretu, vocalist Sandra Cretu, and additional guests, and their forte was tribalistic dance music based on samples and laid-back beats, and infused with a sensual spirituality that appealed to both ravers and mainstream audiences. After the huge success of the first record, Cretu did some soundtrack work and released a few more albums and remix collections, but never duplicated the prodigious sales or popularity of MCMXC A.D.
