Shabda : शब्द

Enigma’s early sound revisited, explored and updated. Here are many familiar themes from MCMXC A.D. and The Cross Of Changes – tracks interfading, monks chanting, spoken voices philosophising, luxuriant beats, expressive atmospheres, muted pianos and lush effects. Of course, new aspects abound – fresh melodies, different instruments such as the Chinese Er-Hu on ‘The Delta of the Red River’ and some previously undeveloped classical connections. Notably absent are the male vocals that seemed to be a point of contention among some Enigma fans.

The banner of allegiance is unfurled from the start with a brief ambient introduction leading into one of those glorious, distinctive beats – here the drum tracks seem at the same time both original and recognisable … new variants on old structures and new structures with that conspicuous enigmatic feel. Not surprisingly since Jens Gad provided the guitar sound for Enigma, the guitar is given some extra space here, a few tracks being carried along by emotive guitar leads drenched in special effects.

Enigmatic Obsession – Secrets of Seduction

Gorgeously serene and mystical, full of atmosphere and timeless grace. The mainly female voices maintain the charm and spell throughout – whispering, singing, speaking, breathing, with classical elements, soft oohs and aahs – perfectly attuned to the mood and vision established by the music. Slightly melancholy in places – wistful and emotional, occasionally powerful, always with a subtle, richly layered dreaminess.
