The Roots of Enigma

"When you see the most recent installment of the Enigma project, 'Voyageur,' you can understand how the sound relates to albums like this one, which are the very roots of Michael Crétu's music career. Though highly criticized, it is not without a sense of irony that Michael Crétu is able to retain his former sense of style, despite his transition into New Age, with the Enigma project.



'Legionaere,' as well as 'The Invisible Man,' follow an 80's Rock-style. While this may not be very interesting to hear in the year 2005, there is a nostalgic element to Michael Crétu's older works, which are interesting for a long-time Enigma fan, such as myself. Still, it is interesting to hear the roots of such a popular artist as Michael Crétu, who really only gained his popularity through the production of the Enigma project. (The prime of his career, I suppose.)"

"Im very dissappointed about some reviews. We cannot compare (we shouldn't)this CD with Enigma. This album has nothing to do with Enigma. Enigma is diffrent project. This one is Michael Cretus's solo work. Legionaere has some touch of Enigma. You can see some signs of a pessage to Enigma project specially on track 1 , 4, 8...etc. Even this belongs to 80's style pop/rock Cretu has used layered technology and Vacodar well even in that time. People who want to hear enigma style music please dont buy this one & dont put worthless reviews."

"Slowly we creep towards that wonderful sound we all love. And ever so slowly we get there. Not quite the Enigma sound, but getting there. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ambience that is Michael Cretu."
