Best Of 3CD (The Platinum Collection on the first 2009 issue) is a triple-disc set that contains one disc of Enigma’s greatest hits, one disc of remixes, and one disc of “The Lost Ones,” brief instrumental snippets that were used as source material and ideas for full-length tracks. Naturally, this last disc is what’s interesting for the hardcore fan which, unlike the rest, consists of unreleased material - but even the hardcore may find this slightly ephemeral; after all, these were designed as something like work tapes, not for release. The rest of the set is a good overview of basics, but it’s still unclear exactly who this is for, as this recycles too much for the hardcore, and it’s too lengthy for the casual fan.

"First Breath" is an amazing collection of thematic melodies combining soundtrack orchestration, choirs, subtle ethnic touches and great rhythms. The music has that rare quality of being not only complex and imaginative compositionally, but inspired and captivating on the ear and the soul! There are echoes of Vangelis here, and some wonderful ethnic touches - but Catalins music has a unique style and character all of its own, so any similarity to the 'Great Greek' are purely superficial and is mentioned only as a point of reference. Listening to Catalin's music is like being carried away on summer winds to far off lands - from the dusty plains of Africa on "Zulu Spirits Call", to an eastern bazaar of the mystical east on "Nandana, Spirit of Indra". The orchestral and vocal/choir arrangements on First Breath are the equal to anything you would expect to hear on a major film soundtrack. The album oozes quality and is, quite simply. Magical!

Every track on the album has been created with such pristine quality and produced with such care and attention so deep. An album to easily accompany those moments of meditative bliss.
All tracks composed by: Di Mario & Morades. Di Mario & Morades have used samples from: Vocal Planet, Symphony of Voices and LiQuid Grooves. Male vocals: Di Mario. Female vocals & Breath FX: India.

A wide variety of songs, ranging from relaxing to more upbeat Celtic folk songs. Featuring multilayered vocals, strings piano, harp, cello, tin whistles, horns, percussion, harpsichord, flute, oboe, guirars, keyboards.
Enam was born in 1975. His mother inspired him musically at an early age with her singing in a choir and her playing the accordion, organ and guitar. Enam started experimenting with these instruments and the two sang harmonies together. After an orientation in various musical styles he happened upon African music and started playing djembe. An interest in ethnic as well as ethereal music grew. Enam started composing at the age of 21 after he purchased his first synth. More and more instrumental and vocal possibilities came about. His compositions contain combinations of pronounced sounds evoking a special atmosphere. A magical experience suitable for relaxation, meditation and other healing arts.

One of the most successful pop/classical fusion projects, Gregorian mixes well-known pop and rock songs with Gregorian chants. Overseen by producer Frank Peterson, co-founder of Michael Cretu's Enigma outfit, Gregorian's first album, Masters of Chant, released in 1999 (an early 1991 Peterson album released under the name Gregorian isn't counted among the group's official releases, but already employs the same aesthetic), became a smash hit throughout Europe, entering the Top Ten in nine different countries. The following albums continued in the same vein, covering songs by Peter Gabriel, Lenny Kravitz, Coldplay, Björk, Queen, Tears for Fears, and others.

It is a magical, soul-inspiring authentic musical story about a woman's awakening and actualization. It is a story of You, of the genius within every woman. A woman who has awakened the unique inborn spiritual talents within herself becomes a true Creator Goddess. Such a Goddess Woman creates a harmonious, happy, meaningful life that brings love, peace, health, success, joy and satisfaction to her and those around.
Every song speaks of different talents of a Woman, her given gifts and their manifestation in life, touching just as well upon painful experiences that a Woman unfamiliar with herself goes through. In these songs, a woman's path of evolution is encoded, including even special practices that help open up the feminine nature. Angelic virtuoso vocal and tantric poetry will nourish Your soul with beauty and love…

The Dark Side is Gregorian's sixth album, released between Masters of Chant Chapter IV and Masters of Chant Chapter V. The 'Special Rock Edition' featured ten tracks. The notable differences from the standard edition are the omission of three tracks (Where the Wild Roses Grow, Uninvited and The End), the ordering of the tracks, as well as the length of the existing tracks; some are shorter. This edition also includes an extended version of Nothing Else Matters, from Gregorian's first Masters of Chant album.

Certain minds would be willing in sacrifice their lives in striving towards the only crucially, worthy, good thing: The knowledge about the secrets and reasons of existence. Their coded activities extend through the centuries - from antiquity to modern times, and in this way pass on and preserve means, knowledge and realization. Only the point of view is variable, not truth itself.

Enigma is a German electronic project formed in 1990 by Michael Cretu, David Fairstein and Frank Peterson. Cretu is both the composer and the producer of the project.

Following in the precedent set by Enigma's remarkable success in the 1990s, Bella Sonus' Enamoured blends together the more ethereal side of computer-composed world music with a heavy dose of ambient electronica, while differentiating themselves from their obvious peer with the guitar work of Angel Suarez. As it did for Enigma and many of the successive artists to follow - Deep Forest, Sarah Brightman, Delirium - this stylistic template works well, evoking a substantial amount of tranquility and a bit of rhythm in the process. The man behind the bulk of the music here, Robert Smith (keyboards, synthesizer, programming, samples), deserves ample recognition for his accomplishments on Enamoured, but one can't help but find it a bit derived. Still, if one can look past this possible observation, the music gleams with a sense of beauty rarely found in modern music.

The only release by these two musicians (Carl Jarvis and Al Martin) reminds us on Enigma and Michael Cretu. With melodic and rhythmic tracks they catch the feeling of the early 90s electronic music.

Long frustrated by the release schedule restraints of conventional labels, electronic new age Renaissance man David Arkenstone joined with his wife, Diane, to create Neo Pacifica, a label releasing a wide variety of creatively diverse expressions. One of the label's highlights is introducing vocalist/keyboardist Diane as a composer and artist in her own right. With David's composing and production assistance, Diane creates what comes across as a continuous, unbroken musical piece, but is actually comprised of eight thoughtful compositions. The promise of trance in the album title might imply that this will be something of a formless musical experience, but all the ethereal effects (which include her whispery, seductive voice chanting like our subconscious) are given a solid musical foundation, complete with drum machine groove and reasonably memorable synth or piano melodies…
