Search - Enigma :: Turn Around

Classic Enigma with a poppier sound

""Turn Around" is one of the new tracks off the group's greatest album. I knew I would like it the moment I spotted the cd single in my local record store. The song itself is a bit more accessible in the vein of "Beyond the Invisible" and "Gravity of Love". The vocals were outstanding as usual. The Northern Lights Club Mix is excellent. I can imagine hearing the remix in nightclubs. The Chilled Club Mix for "Gravity of Love" is great too. The infamous sample of "O Fortuna" is more subdued than in the original mix which is more bombastic. This new mix of "Gravity of Love" is a perfect afterhours song to listen to after a heavy night of partying, not to mention an addition to any chill out compilation cd. I like the addition of the multimedia track for "Turn Around" because seeing an Enigma video on tv is about as likely as coming face to face with Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster."

Amazing!

"I walk around with my headphones stuck to my ears repeating TURN AROUND "Turn Around" again and again."

Hallmark for the 11 years of Enigma existence!

"What makes Michael Cretu, the man behind Enigma, unique is that he always makes not-mainstream music, always fresh and pleasant to ears. No matter like you such music style or not. Looking back for the 11 years of hard work, Enigma releases its "The Best of..." featuring completely new single - Turn Around. It proves that Michael Cretu is genius. In this track he uses rarely new sounds and samples. Mostly they are from the previous 4 albums. But it doesn't sound like smth old. It sounds completely new! What a beautiful compilation of the best Enigma sounds into one 3.24 track! Have you ever imagined how some 10 songs can be compiled into one but not making the mess? Only mentioning of the songs will point you to the combining so many songs. But the music will float measurely, beautifuly and unearthly - actually as all Enigma's work do. If you're new to Enigma, it's not a good choice to start from this track, because you have to know the history of Enigma music, where from come that sounds and what do they mean. If you're very much into Enigma, of course you should take this single to enjoy the hallmark of Enigma music for the 11 years of its existence!"
