  The Craft of Musical Communication - Part One
When the techniques were used while playing the music during our presentations, the result for musicians was mixed, that is, about 95% of the musicians loved the way the music felt, 5% of the musicians hated what they thought violated their notion of how music ought to go and were openly antagonistic to the techniques.
Musical Communication as the "Art of Delivery" (which is what Aristotle calls the Modes of Utterance, Poetics XIX) is the craft of handling musical material by technical means designed to enhance the enjoyment and understanding of the meaning of music for normal ordinary music lovers.
Flow of thought, whether musical or verbal, must be strictly maintained, especially in front of an audience lest a lapse be detected and the performer appear to have lost his or her train of thought.

So, music is like a drug for me. And others, too, will be able to go on a trip with this album, in a good sense." The ciphers stand for "Love.
Cretu: "For me these are elementary terms of happiness, of a fulfilled life." That the mastermind of ENIGMA stays invisible in the background is the intentions of the concept.
The opus so far of the most important German musical project wouldn't be complete if there wasn't a platform for the best and most impressive remixes.

Instead Cretu was able to create his own ENIGMA universe with just a view of the Mediterranean and the stars, and his studio control room, which is a bit smaller these days.
It was the birth of the “United Colours Of Music”.
With Enigma, the pictures, the colours and worlds are created in listeners’ heads and allow them all to experience the unique, personalized intoxication of being transported to another dimension.

 CD Baby: PROJECT 86: Songs To Burn Your Bridges By
Project 86, a reference to being "86ed" as an act of isolation and rejection, was born from the depths of defeat.
Project was soon working with a legitimate management company (Cook Management, home of POD, Blindside, and Year of the Rabbit), and launching heavy touring under the guise of their major label debut.
Project has somehow shed any inhibition about themselves, spiritual, sonic, or otherwise, to put forth a sense of hope when all seems lost.

The plodding bombast of 2000's The Screen Behind the Mirror seemed to signal that Enigma had stretched itself to a point where an explosion of pompous musical goop was imminent.
Innovatively fusing traditional ethnic musics with state-of-the-art rhythms, the work of Deep Forest was best typified by their 1993 smash "Sweet Lullaby," which brought together the contemporary sounds of ambient techno with the haunting voices of the Pygmies of the central African rain forest.

In this Enigma: Rising Tide Music Q&A, we have the chance to explore this important element in depth with Composer Tim Clarke and to hear some of his work.
I've been immersed in music since I was about 10 years old, when I started on the trumpet (which I still play professionally, I might add.) My late grandfather had been a jazz trumpet player during the depression era and gave me my first horn for my 10th birthday.
Since the music was conceived as a filmish "underscore", I feel that it will hold up very well to many hours of gameplay.

I can see the definite use for project, but it's hard to find the difference between a collaboration with multiple artists that can be handled better with AR's or a new artist(group) name.
Perhaps "Project" can be defined as multiple artists (usually more than two) that regularly perform together as a group and may have a flexible or changing roster of artists, but as a project always play the music of the project.

Five studio albums have been produced under the name of the project and a sixth one is currently in production, slated to be released in late 2006.

Enigma are definitely on the commercial, radio-friendly and poppy end of things.
After listening to Enigma again, I can't help thinking that they are the '90s answer to the late '70s, early '80s Alan Parsons Project sans Sandra Cretu.

 Amazon.com: Voyageur: Music: Enigma   (Site not responding. Last check: )
I have always been a devout fan of Enigma as I tend to favor music styles such as ambient, new age, world, and music of the avant-guarde.
Enigma seems to be able to straddle both the edge of music while still allowing itself to be accessed by random listerners looking for something fresh and new.
Enigma has grown and moved away from silky ambient sampled themes and is marching toward a world beat mixed with an edgier rhythm and more diverse vocals.

This album marks Enigma's continued foray into the ambient New Age realm, as Cretu's efforts focus more and more on melding compatible styles of world music, while the tracks are mixed into a single continuum.
The Gregorian chantings which Enigma is known and loved for are sadly obsolete throughout the record but the synthy beats and ethereal background vocals (provided by Sandra Cretu and Elisabeth Houghton) give the album a more polished sound.
The #1 complaint is the absence of vocals by Louisa "This Is the Voice of Enigma" Stanley replaced by another woman with a less effective and passionate tone.
