Enigma

Released: July 22, 2016

My mind convinced me to believe that I am at liberty to control the path to my own destiny
Through my ambition, I strived to create a world where I would reign upon all that lies in front of me

But my cognition barricades my understanding that my decisions are a product of what surrounds me
So I bear witness to the consequence of my reactions towards what is standing right before me

My curiosity leaves me yearning for comprehension of my true self and retention of my identity
My perception of the universe holds no explanation for the veil I vaguely see

But my cognition barricades my understanding that my decisions are a product of what surrounds me
So I bear witness to the consequence of my reactions towards what is standing right before me

Asserting the demise of my autonomy is the realization of my inability to control my reflection, my fate, and what remains

Enigma is a musical project founded in 1990 by Romanian-German musician and producer Michael Cretu. He recorded the first Enigma studio album, MCMXC a.D. (1990), with contributions from David Fairstein and Frank Peterson. The album remains Enigma’s biggest, helped by the international hit single, “Sadeness (Part I)”, which sold 12 million units alone.

According to Michael, the inspiration for the creation of the project came from his desire to make a kind of music that did not obey “the old rules and habits” and presented a new form of artistic expression with mystic and experimental components.
