As soon as it’s plugged into your ears, Enigma brings you on a journey in a world out of your imagination, a world of the past, present and future. At one moment you are looking into an ancient city with chanting monks in black hoods; at another you are walking in the dark on a virtual ground in grids that extend into the endless and slightly curved horizon, with hints of light climbing up from underneath. Occasionally, surrounded by the reference to Jean-Michel Jarre, you may find yourself hanging around in space as if you live there. All these are wrapped in the sound of Euro electronica and unisoned by Enigma’s signature mysterious atmosphere.

Througout the album, there’s no one single song that stands out from the rest. Omitting the sense of erotica and impulsive beats from Enigma’s previous works, the music is filled with subtle yet powerful textures, which are what I like about this album. Hypnotic and intoxicating, this album works at its best when listened to in total tranquility and with your lights out.
