Title: Think Twice
Review: Enigma's strength, beautifully illustrated in their 1991 release MCMXC A.D., was its mystery and eroticism, achieved through the then-innovative use of Gregorian chants with hip-hop and trance persussion, layered with whispered lyrics in french. THAT was good.A decade later, Michael Cretu tries unsuccessfully to extend this now gimmicky approach to a collection of new songs that don't really say anything "new." Worse, these tracks sound like the same stuff Enigma did on E1; just done badly. Same sound effects on the synthesizer ... but this time around, almost -NO- instrumental tracks. In fact, Cretu himself sings (!) on many of the tracks, and his voice - thin and weak - is more of a distraction than a feature, and is generally not good.The lyrics themselves are simplistic and somewhat trite.Overall, this album is definitely illustrative of Enigma's signature sound, but quite lacking in every quality that made E1 the astonishing work that it was.
