Enigma is a German musical project founded in 1990 by Romanian-German musician and producer Michael Cretu. Cretu had released several solo records, collaborated with various artists, and produced albums for his then wife, German pop singer Sandra, before he conceived the idea of a New Age, Worldbeat project. He recorded the first Enigma studio album, MCMXC a.D., with contributions from David Fairstein and Frank Peterson. The album remains Enigma's biggest, helped by the international hit single, "Sadeness", which sold 12 million units alone. According to Cretu, the inspiration for the creation of the project came from his desire to make a kind of music that did not obey "the old rules and habits" and presented a new form of artistic expression with mystic and experimental components
From the late 1970s onward, Michael Cretu already had his own music career on his hands and apart from some collaboration efforts with several other musicians, he also produced his wife's albums. Before Enigma, he released a number of albums under his own name, but none of them sold particularly well. Cretu revealed in an interview that he believed that his ideas were running out at that point. 
In December 1990, after eight months of preparation, Cretu released Enigma's debut album, MCMXC a.D., which received over 57 platinum awards worldwide, and topped the charts in 41 countries, directly becoming the most successful Virgin Records act during that time. The album was Cretu's first commercial success through the single "Sadeness (Part I)", which juxtaposed Gregorian chants and sexual overtones over a dance beat that was very peculiar to the ears of the public at that time. Cretu explained that the album was about unsolved crimes and philosophical themes such as life after death, hence the name Enigma. He had previously used a Gregorian-type chant on the opening seconds of Sandra's 1987 single "Everlasting Love", without integrating them into other parts of the song. "Sadeness" quickly rose to the top of the charts in Germany and France; it went on to become a worldwide hit. Later Cretu would claim that the now signature Enigma sound was inspired after falling asleep on the London Underground. The title of the album MCMXC a.D. is the Roman numeral for the year of its release, 1990.

page & content DO NOT promote DRUG ABUSE ! In fact, quite the opposite... Music, as an art form, meant to be deeply psychedelic from the days of it's inception - Psychedelics are primarily used to alter perception, mood, and cognitive processes, which can lead to experiences of insight, emotional release, and altered states of consciousness - this is what exactly art of Music does... If music does not produce any, stated above, effects - it is due to being poorly put together. An ancient Latin descriptions of the art of Music says - MVSICA · LETITIÆ · COMES · MEDICINA · DOLORIS - music: pleasure's companion, remedy of sorrow... Actively listening to different types and genres of Music, is better and healthier alternative to self-medicating with chemical, synthetic and organically derived substitutes. Happy Music everyone.

Introduction to the Baroque Era/Period Music

The Baroque era 1590 - 1750, spanning from the late 16th century to the early 18th century, was a time of artistic grandeur and musical innovation. This period in music history is characterized by its ornate and intricate compositions, elaborate melodies, and the use of various instruments to create a rich and dynamic musical tapestry.

Baroque music is known for its use of dramatic contrasts, ornamentation, and emotional intensity. Composers of the Baroque era aimed to create music that evoked powerful emotions and stimulated the senses. This led to the development of new musical forms and styles, such as the opera, oratorio, and concerto.

The Baroque era brought about significant changes in music composition. Composers began to explore complex harmonies, intricate melodies, and the use of contrasting textures to create depth and expressiveness in their compositions. This era also saw the emergence of virtuosic instrumental music and the establishment of the basso continuo as a standard practice in music composition.
