Unreal 90s sonic brilliance and mood..1 is by far a new Enigma favorite of mine! Thanks for watching! 🥰
I've been waiting for you to react to this brilliant song of from Enigma 2nd The Cross Of Changes ever since i requested it and I'm glad you enjoy this tune! Awesome reaction as always! That guitar solo played by Jen Gads is just phenomenal! 🎸🎶🤘🏽
Hi Antione! So glad I finally got to it! As you saw, it received my very highest rating, so it's a song now in elite company in my mind 😊 Thanks for waiting and watching!
I Love You... I"ll Kill You is fantastic song.
Absolutely....it blew me away! Thanks
I’m glad to see Enigma back in the fold. This is a great album, I’ve not dusted it off in a while, so it was nice to hear these songs again. They have such a great vibe!
Always an amazing experience! Transcending music....😌
Really nice reaction. Another amazing songs from Enigma ! "I Love You...I'll Kill You" is so powerful and sensual.
Thank you! Yes, what an incredible song right up my musical and emotional alley. Thanks for watching!
So much memories with Enigma sounds .I Love all of their music. And I enjoy them while I was in Puerto Rico in the mountains more than 30 years ago wow.
Bring back so many good memories, thank you.❤❤
Hello Sig! You have excellent taste, what a special band with a special sound. Glad my reaction could help you time travel back to those amazing times. Thanks for stopping by! 😊
The second song reminded me of Berlin. Like The Prodigy and Berlin had a baby.
Haha..now that would be 1 gorgeous music baby!!!
🤣
Brsndon, do you know The Prodigy? Just wondering????
Well, definitely heard their name around, especially in the 90s, but I never listened to their music...
There are an interesting group. I would call them techno pop. But they hit hard and were easily accepted by heavy metal fans. I love them.
I love You is definitely sensual: perfect word , Brandon. Dark and sensual. And the cherry on top was the guitar solo. And what sounded like distorted harmonica. Wow, what a soundscape to lose yourself in
What more could I want?! Thanks for checking this beauty out!
@@retroreactions.... I can definitely hear a trip-hop influence on this song
Oh wow, that totally IS the drum beat from 'When The Levee Breaks'! Just sped up a bit and thus also slightly higher-pitched! 😀
And on top of that, the drum computer track in the transition into the next song was borrowed from the intro of 'Fading Lights' by Genesis!
🤯 😄
SO cool!
More Enigma, maybe the 3rd album is different but equally enchanting. Great reaction and have a great day. Cheers! 😎👍
Always good to hear some Enigma! 💖👍 I noticed in the second song that there appears to be a sample (around 10:00 in this video) of Robert Plant singing "Bring it back" a few times, which is from Led Zeppelin's song "The Battle of Evermore" (starting around the 4:30 mark in that song). 🤓
For sure! Cool, another Zep reference. Love that they put easter eggs in their songs from other legends...
Oh shit, I hear the Led Zepplin drums. That's crazy. I never notice it before.
Awesome! What a band to sample!!
The Beastie Boys sampled it as well.
Far out! I had no idea they were so eclectic and ethnomusicological. A rabbit cave to spelunk. Grazie prego!
"far from being over" indeed. I Love You... I'll Kill You, that second big percussion drop(10:45) started by the Timpanis gets me in the zone everytime.
What an amazing revisit, not on my high rotation for some reason.
But definitely have some fav Enigma tracks.
Callas Went Away, Out from The Deep & Knocking on Forbidden Doors.
Hi Ollie! Glad you like this band. I've added your votes for those 3 to my list. Thanks for tuning in..
Wow. I had totally forgotten Enigma! 😊
Hey Matt! Glad I could give you a refresher! Thank you so much for watching and being first on this one 🥇
GREAT reaction Brandon!! I loved Enigma's 'Sadeness' when it came out, and when Return To Innocence was released - especially the video - it was a constant for me!
HIGHLY recommend Gravity Of Love from their next album - The Screen Behind The Mirror - another epic song! Amazing sounds from this group. Cheers!
YES song The Remembering (High the Memory) from TALES from Topographic Oceans (1973)
was sampled on Morphing Thru Time by Enigma (1996)
Wow, that's awesome that they also sampled Yes. Thanks for watching!
Now you have me curious. I'm a huge fan of Yes and _Tales from Topographic Oceans_ is my favorite Yes album, so needless to say I shall have to check out "Morphing Thru Time".
Cool ,it's a beautiful song
@@wendellwiggins2900 I checked it out, Wendell and I recognized that snippet from "The Remembering" right away, at the start of the song and you are right, "Morphing Thru Time" is extremely beautiful and heavenly! 👼
Me encanta esa canción, es mágica❤️
Return to Innocence is going on my playlist. That’s soul music for me.
First time for you?
@@retroreactions.... isn’t that kind of a personal question? 😂 😘. But yup, it was
😂
FYI: the female singer Sandra was back then the wife of Enigma's mastermind Michael Cretu. From the mid 80s to the early 90s she was one of the most successful solo singers all over Europe.
Wow, great to know! She certainly has a mystical and memorable vocal presence. Thanks for watching!
All of their albums are great. They got me through the nineties 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I Love You...I'll Kill You is one of my favourites 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Push The Limits from their The Screen Behind The Mirror album is another great one.
Sounds like there are some samples of Black Sabbath's The Wizzard and Led Zeps The Battle Of The Evermore in I Love You...I'll Kill You. The Harmonica bit from The Wizard and the vocals of Robert Plant saying Take It Back from The Battle Of The Evermore 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I so love this, i chose it when I was in labour with my 1st daughter
Wow, that's really nice! Glad you love this band. Thanks so much for watching 😊
Fire reaction🔥
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching...
Hi Brandon,
These songs bring back memories from 1993.
Can it be all those Years ago.?
Love Return To innocence.
Keep Rocking 👍
Ronnie SCOTLAND 😊
Hi! Yes, 31 long years ago! Time flies of course... Glad you like this band too. See you later!
The Powerful and Mysthical Chant was Created and originally sung by Duana's Couple,Difang and Igay Duana for their song "Elders Drinking".Plagiarized by French Govt. and Used by Enigma for their "Return to innocence".
Difang Duana (March 20, 1921 - March 29, 2002) and Igay Duana (August 9, 1922 - May 16, 2002), Chinese names Kuo Ying-nan (郭英男) and Kuo Hsiu-chu (郭秀珠), were Amis husband and wife farmers from Taiwan who became known as a folk music duo who specialized in traditional Amis chants. Their most recognized work is a performance of a traditional Amis Palang song, alternately called "Weeding and Paddyfield Song No. 1", "Elders' Drinking Song", and "Jubilant Drinking Song", or Sapiliepah a Radiw in the Amis language. The song was recorded by a French government project and EMI, and was subsequently sampled by the musical project Enigma for their international hit single "Return to Innocence". Accusations of unintentional usage without permission were settled out of court.
Brilliant me old 🍻👍🏼
💜💜💜
Hi Angela! Glad you love this one. Nice to see you 😉
@@retroreactions.... You, too! 🤗
Return to Innocence had one of the best videos ever made for any song - you HAVE to check it out. You will cry in the end, promised!
Getting Eurythmics vibes...the female even sounded a bit like Annie Lennox for just a moment. Pleasantly weird and enticing, like the Eurythmics. Excellent
A most excellent reference. Need them or Annie solo on my channel again! Thanks
What chants are those? Are they Samish? When you go
Back far enough, it seems humans expressed themselves in a very similar manner, whether in North America, or Northern Scandinavia or Faroe Islands or Mongolia. It resonates with some pretty deep DNA…at least in me
The chants used here were originally performed by a duo who were part of the Amis ethnic group from Taiwan. Here's a bit more info:
An Amis chant ("Weeding and Paddyfield Song No. 1") is repeated, which opens the song. Difang and Igay Duana, from the Amis, were in a cultural exchange program in Paris in 1988 when their performance of the song was recorded by the Maison des Cultures du Monde and later distributed on CD. The producer of Enigma, Michael Cretu, later obtained the CD and proceeded to sample it. In addition, the drum beat of the song was sampled from the Led Zeppelin song "When the Levee Breaks", played by John Bonham.
@@retroreactions.... yeah, I heard you say that about the drums, and I can hear it. But man, it is amazing to me how that famous drum sequence, so famous for its power, becomes just a.background rhythm for this song. I’m not so much offended that they sampled it, just wondering why bother, if you’re just going to eviscerate it. Just use a drum machine. I actually liked the song but was totally perplexed as to why they would sample such a famous drum riff only to put it so far back in the mix that it seems almost sn afterthought.
Your thoughts?
Not being a drum guy at all, I wouldn't think of that off hand. But after hearing your thoughts, I can see it. I get that this band is full of layers and textures, but like you said, for something so iconic, most artists put the spotlight on whatever they are sampling. Not sure if it was done this way intentionally (a quiet nod or subtle easter egg) or it's just how they always work. Now if it was a famous keyboard riff and was way in the back of the mix, I'd probably have more to say! 😊
@@retroreactions.... fair enough! You da keyboard guy! 😘
OTT production, so much money so little innovation 😂
Claudia Brucken was infinitely more interesting, not even thinking of Propaganda (of which this a rip off) or The Act.
Try Kiss Like Ether instead!
Of course I enjoy it because this is my kind of sound, but this has origins in many things done before.
Sorry Brandon, I'm a hard man to please, being pretty well verse regarding the 80s 😂
But thanks you for this but could you juste review songs under the 5' mark?
Well, we like what we like 🙂 I think there are too many amazing songs over 5 minutes to just ignore them. Plus when I do short songs, RUclips algorithm thinks people are watching my videos for less time and looks at it negatively.
