I've been listening to Enigma since 1990 and still love their music today, at 62 years old. Enigma keeps me calm and collected during all this chaos we have in our Life. But, never change what makes you happy. Love, peace and happiness to everyone and especially to us who miss the 80s and 90s.
Enigma is not a group, there is only one man (Michael Cretu) and Enigma still exists... It just sometimes takes years for a new song and album to come out 🙂
I really thank you Mr. Cretu for making official videos for singles that were not officially released at its time as "The Voice Of Enigma" or "Knocking On Forbidden Doors" for the album "MCMXC a.D."; but what he cannot understand until now, how is it possible that he has not made an official video of the best song he has created in his entire career (in my humble opinion), I mean "Prism of Life" from the album "Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!" Please Mr. Michael Cretu if you ever read this message, please beg him to make an official video for "Prism of Life", you don't think a masterpiece like that deserves its own music video. Amen!
Another Uncommon reaction band. Thank you for breaking the mold with some favorites of mine. You know this already Im sure that you have a radio host voice. Smooth baby.
Yes, I want variety here, and these are masterpieces often, even if they will only get little views. Still worth it!! Haha, yes I have been told that by a couple of people here... 🙂
I really love Enigma's music .....I mean waooo ....N I like your reaction on enigma track...plZz make more reaction vedios on Enigmas track ..The Man , Turn around N more ...love from India........
Have you followed them since the 90's? The story has continued to unfold and has grown deep and rich and so very meaningful. They have so very many beautiful songs though the 2000's and as recently as 2018. Simply amazing.
Hello! Thank you so much for your compliment and your subscription! Really appreciate that. Very hard to choose with tons and artists and requests, but I'm hoping to get back to another Enigma reaction this week! Be well...💙
Enigna Chapters 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 ( excluding the compilation albums ) are perhaps my favorites with so many truly beautiful songs and the stories in those chapters quite provocative. Songs like "The Child in Us", Je' Taime (Til My Dying Day), "Deja Vu", "Goodbye Milkyway", "Sitting on the Moon", "Why!", "Silence Must be Heard", "Gravity of Love", "The Language of Sound", "Amen", "Return to Innocense." There is always the signature Enigma beginning and ending in every album ( Chapter) though sometimes it morphs a bit to adapt to the new story line of each new chapter ( which is like a book another chapter telling one big complex musical story)! Future albums have musical interludes that harken back to previous albums to show both parallels and divergences of the ever unfolding story! Your reaction was that of a music lover who intelligently analyzes the music. You experience music, you don't just hear it. I very much appreciate that about you. That and of course that you are a very handsome man too ( no creepiness intended). Can't wait to watch you react to more of Enigma. Glad you love them as much as I do. America just never caught on to Enigma like Europe did. I hope you'll reintroduce Enigma by going down that rabbit hole. They deserve America's love.
Hello! Thanks for all the wonderful insight into this band. Thanks so much for the wonderful compliments as well! Great music definitely hits me deep on and off camera, and I'm trying hard to have a great channel here ☺ It's so hard picking songs with tons of bands to cover, but Enigma will definitely be back on the channel!!
You just got yourself into another amazing rabbit hole! Any songs from “Love, Sensuality, Devotion” ; “Seven Lives Many Faces”; “Voyageur” and “A Posteriori” albums will get you on your way to bliss. 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎹🥁🎸🤟🏽🤟🏽
You should definitely check out more of Enigma classics like The Eyes Of Truth, Out from the Deep, Beyond The Invisible, T.NT. For The Brain, Age Of Loneliness, I mean there are lots of songs from Enigma that is so life changing. You should check out his 8th Album titled The Fall Of A Rebel Angel that was released back in 2016 with the songs like Sadeness Part 2 Featuring Anggun and Amen Featuring Aquilo. Hello to your new subscriber all the way from Korea! 😁
Hello Antione!! Welcome and thank you so much for your subscription!! I will add your suggestions to my list. My channel window is 1970-1999, but I'm sure some of them fall into that time window. I will check out that newer album on my own, I love this band! Thanks again and best wishes and peace to you in Korea ☺
@@retroreactions.... Your welcome! If there's one Enigma song that i would like for you react to is the song I Love You...I'll Kill You, which its one of my personal favorite from his 2nd album back in 93' and i guarantee you're going to enjoy it. 😊🎶
You should listen to Enigma - Mea Culpa (Orthodox mix). And if you move on from the first album, try listening to The Eyes of Truth, Age of Loneliness, Morphing Thru Time, Beyond the Invisible, TNT for The Brain, Child in Us, Gravity of Love, Smell of Desire, Between Mind & Heart, etc. Cool reaction man. I wish more people would give Enigma a chance to react to. I still listen to Enigma even after some 25 years now. Cheers! 😎👍🏼
Nice new artist!! I’ve never seen Enigma 😢, but I do have most of their studio albums. I’ve always loved their songs, each with its own atmosphere. You know they have only three studio albums in the 90’s? You’ll have to throw in a 2000’s week here and there. Lol 😂
Glad you like them! Didn't quite look at their entire discography...If I ever get in gear and get Patreon up, there will be no date limits there! I can hear stuff from 2023 or 1750!!!
Really??? I didn’t realize not having Patreon limited you to the date range of what you can put out. I honestly thought it was strictly your own preference having the 70’s-90’s era. Again… I learn something new everyday! Imagine all of the Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson you can react to!!😊
Oh no. I meant by my own choice/rules, I won't have any year restrictions on Patreon...I assume I'll be doing a lot of 60s and 2000s songs over there...On YT, 1970-1999 is my own self imposed channel window 😁
Reminds me of Eric B. & Rakim Paid In Full joint. Thinkin' of a master plan 'Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent So I dig deeper but still comin' up with lint So I start my mission, leave my residence Thinkin' "How could I get Some dead presidents?" I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid So I think of all the Devious things I did I used to roll up, "This is a hold up, Ain't nothin' funny Stop smilin', be still, don't nothin' move but the money" But now I learned to earn 'cause I'm righteous I feel great, so maybe I might just Search for a 9 to 5, If I strive Then maybe I'll stay alive So I walk up the street Whistlin' this Feelin' out of place 'cause, man, do I miss A pen and a paper, A stereo, a tape of Me and Eric B, And a nice big plate of fish, Which is my favorite dish But without no money, It's still a wish 'Cause I don't like to dream About gettin' paid So I dig into the books Of all the rhymes that I made So now's a test To see if I got pull Hit the studio, Cause I'm paid in full
Man, I have all Enigma albums and ERA etc. sometimes when working with spreadsheet I start one of these “best of Enigma” compilation videos on RUclips and just let it go for all afternoon. And if you really want a great experience listen to Buddha Bar I (and then the rest of them). That’s high class compiled world music. Cheers
@@retroreactions.... no Buddha Bar is a compilation of songs from different artist around the world. It is nothing to react to, just to listen to by yourself when you want peace and beauty. Sort of lounge music. Buddha Bar and Cafe de Paris were the two main compilation albums in the 90s, many albums each of them. But as said, nothing to react to.
@@retroreactions.... also, you might have heard Fables and Dreams by Robert Miles. Also lounge music, sort of one of the first creating EDM music. Maybe not to react to but immerse by yourself with headphones and eyes closed.
Yes this really is a gem! Nice to witness you enjoying it like you did in detail. I got this album at the moment of release in 1990. I have played it over and over at the time. I ultimately lost interest in Enigma after their fourth album. With that I carelessly discarded this album as well, which I returned to around 2020. I relived the joy I at first experienced. It inspired me to make my own remix version of the complete album incorporating the remixes of Sadeness, part I (extended trance mix, meditation mix and Violent U.S. mix) , Mea Culpa (Fading Shades mix), The Principles of Lust (Everlasting lust mix) and The Rivers Of Belief (Extended Version) but maintaining the ambiant feel to the album as a basic starting point. This remixing process really was a joyful experience to me.
Love this Band, beautiful music. Takes you to another place. Have you heard, ‘Goodbye Milky Way’. Absolutely beautiful. ruclips.net/video/naub-KqGnaw/видео.html And I can highly recommend this longer piece, Principles of lust/Sadeness/ Find Love/ Sadeness (Reprise). Even if just for yourself. ruclips.net/video/F80QIeequEI/видео.html Enjoy. 🎶❤️🎶
I Gonna write in Argentinian spanish so you can practice the most beautiful language in the world 😂, tenés que reaccionar a esta secuencia de ensueño en una sola reacción y en este orden. 1. 1994 - Enigma - "The Dream of the Dolphin" / 2. 1992 - Asia - Aqua I / 3. Mark Knopfler from the 1983 movie "Local Hero" a) Whistle Theme and b) Wild Theme. You'r welcome in advance 😉
Enigma is very audible, it even sounds good. But like Enya, it's New Age fast food, the genre's McDonald's and KFC, full of comfy familiar clichés devised to produce a certain set of emotional responses that you can expect and not be disappointed. It will be a shock when you discover the real Michelin-starred chefs of New Age. *Nightnoise* and *Shadowfax,* for example, will blow your mind, along with the *Windham Hill Records* catalog from its 1980s golden age, a real treasure trove. CBS Records also released some great titles back then, such as the beautiful "The Source" by Japanese musician *Osamu Kitajima* (who later switched to a more electronic/EDM work).
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588, that one escaped me. It was impossible to follow their whole vast catalog at that time, and not all titles were released where I live. But I'll have a look, thanks.
Wow, I grew up on Windham Hill, never made the connection. I remember hearing this in 1993 and being totally blown away it, not at all connecting it yo the WH of a few years before…why I love these reactions. Learn something new after 30, 40 years of listening…
So many unique elements to this masterpiece...I could live in the Enigma soundscape forever!! Thanks for watching! 🥰

I'm sure....thanks for watching!!
Enigma was a great group. Gravity of Love is my favorite Enigma tune.
Hello my friend! Nice, going straight to the list! Have a great week!!
@@retroreactions.... Thanks Brandon. You have a great week too.
Enigma is not a group, there is only one man (Michael Cretu) and Enigma still exists... It just sometimes takes years for a new song and album to come out 🙂
@@d-hbaxxit846Right. But its more of a musical project than an artist that is Micheal Cretu. Enigma is unique thing
Vocals of Michael Cretu and Sandra!
I really thank you Mr. Cretu for making official videos for singles that were not officially released at its time as "The Voice Of Enigma" or "Knocking On Forbidden Doors" for the album "MCMXC a.D."; but what he cannot understand until now, how is it possible that he has not made an official video of the best song he has created in his entire career (in my humble opinion), I mean "Prism of Life" from the album "Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!" Please Mr. Michael Cretu if you ever read this message, please beg him to make an official video for "Prism of Life", you don't think a masterpiece like that deserves its own music video. Amen!
The ending was a return to the start of the album, making it go full circle.
Энигма это музика всех времён

Reminds me of Eric B. & Rakim Paid In Full joint.
Thinkin' of a master plan
'Cause ain't nothin' but
sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket,
all my money is spent
So I dig deeper
but still comin' up with lint
So I start my mission,
leave my residence
Thinkin' "How could I get
Some dead presidents?"
I need money,
I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the
Devious things I did
I used to roll up,
"This is a hold up,
Ain't nothin' funny
Stop smilin',
be still, don't nothin' move
but the money"
But now I learned to earn
'cause I'm righteous
I feel great,
so maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5,
If I strive
Then maybe I'll stay alive
So I walk up the street
Whistlin' this
Feelin' out of place
'cause, man, do I miss
A pen and a paper,
A stereo, a tape of
Me and Eric B,
And a nice big plate of fish,
Which is my favorite dish
But without no money,
It's still a wish
'Cause I don't like to dream
About gettin' paid
So I dig into the books
Of all the rhymes that I made
So now's a test
To see if I got pull
Hit the studio,
Cause I'm paid in full
