 Cretu, Michael - Legionaere - Groove Unlimited
The album "Legionäre" was different from anything else on which Michael Cretu had worked to date.
The album was reported to have taken three years in the making and finally was released on Virgin Records in German and English versions.
Although I would hesitate before assuming that Cretu extrapolated the grandeur of stadium-rock onto an electronic landscape; listening to "Legionäre" I sensed an ambitious and grand work of quasi-symphonic dance composition.

 Michael Cretu: Legionäre - Release Music Magazine review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Back in the day, Michael Cretu had to be one of the pop scene's ugliest men, mainly because of that impossible poodle hair cut and clothing, for which the eighties are more to blame than Cretu himself, but still.
It's particularly nice to hear some of Michael's own work instead of seeing his name on countless sleeves for other artists as producer or song writer.
It's been a while since Cretu released something of his own, but "Legionäre" really deserves to be labelled a classic and his work with Schillling, Enigma and Hubert Kah, among others, make him stand out as a true pop/synthpop icon.

Momentum wanes (or chills) until Cretu strings together a series of tracks that use a heady amalgam of ambient, techno, dance, and rock textures: "Hello and Welcome," "20,000 Miles Over the Sea," "Sitting on the Moon," and the dense, edgy "The Alchemist," which evokes notions of a 21st-century version of Ultravox.
Cretu wisely limits (or eliminates) the use of Gregorian chants and ethnic voices, once-fresh ideas now demoted to gimmickry.
Cretu is still a master studio wizard, and he still weaves an intoxicating tapestry of sound and music.

It's Michael Cretu singing in his raw limited vocal ability.The keyboard arrangements are sometimes ethereal and almost Vangelis-like.
Regardless if this album is sung in English or German, ultimately the music can be universal and subjective to different listeners.
