  1. ENIGMA

     

    Enigma is the duo of Michael Cretu and Sandra Lauer.  German singer Sandra Lauer did the female vocals in the songs of Enigma.  Romanian-born Michael Cretu did the production work.  Eventually, Michael Cretu married Sandra Lauer.

     

    Michael Cretu came out in the 80s with one minor hit in Europe and the Philippines called "Love Me", but largely ignored elsewhere.

     

    Michael Cretu, who had classical music training in his youth, decided to adapt a different concept and came up with a unique project that became Enigma.  Virgin Records signed them up and the first Enigma album surfaced in late 1990 called "MCMXC aD"

     

    With their 1991 hit "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 the album followed that pattern successfully, although without quite matching the stunning success of the hit single. On their second album, 1993'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. The album churned out a second international hit "Return to Innocence" with a music video featuring everything backwards.  Enigma 3: Le Roi Est Mort, Vive le Roi followed in 1996. A side project, Trance Atlantic Airwaves, issued The Energy of Sound in 1998. The fourth Enigma record, The Screen Behind the Mirror, followed in early 2000.

     

    Enigma's music is very much in use in nightclubs.  Aside from "Sadeness" and "Return to Innocence", songs like "Principles of Lust", "Mea Culpa" and "Moment of Peace" are familiar tunes
