Enigma

Enigma je nemački muzički projekat koji su osnovali Mihaj Krecu, Frenk Peterson i David Fajerštajn 1990. godine. Krecu je prvih godina bio glavni kompozitor i producent projekta. Na kasnijim albumima bitan doprinos u komponovanju i produkciji dao je Jens Gad, nemački producent i muzičar.

Pre nastanka Enigme, Krecu je učestvovao u nekoliko projekata sa raznim muzičarima, izdao nekoliko albuma pod svojim imenom, ali ni jedan od ovih projekata nije postigao značajniji uspeh. U decembru 1990. nakon nekoliko meseci rada, konačno izlazi album "MCMXC a.D.", koji je do danas prodat u više od 16 miliona primeraka i primio velika priznanja širom sveta. Prvi singl sa albuma "Sadeness (Part I)" doneo je Enigmi prvi veliki komercijalni uspeh kombinujući crkveno horsko pevanje, šakuhači frulu po kojoj je Enigma danas jako prepoznatljiva, erotske uzdahe i naracije sa dens ritmom. Krecu je bio skeptik po pitanju uspeha ovog albuma, pa je album potpisao pod pseudonimom Curly M.C. Van očekivanja, album je već prvim singlom bio dobro prihvaćen u svim krajevima sveta.

1993. izdat je drugi album ''The Cross of Changes", koji je u prvih godinu dana prodat u oko 6 miliona kopija. Pored toga što su ova dva albuma već donela veliki uspeh projektu, Krecu je morao na suđenje zbog korišćenja semplova na koje nije polagao autorska prava.

1996. Krecuov plan je bio da treći album bude "dete" prva dva albuma. Tako su na albumu "Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!", kombinovani crkveni horovi sa prvog albuma sa tribalnim i narodnim zvucima sa drugog, na jedan malo moderniji, futuristički način. Iako je album stvaran pod velikim uticajem prethodna dva, njegov uspeh je bio znatno manji. Kao proizvod toga, izdata su samo dva od planirana tri singla, "Beyond the Invisible" i "T.N.T. for the Brain".

1998. album "Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!" nominovan je za najbolji album novog doba na dodeli Gremi nagrada.

2000. "The Screen Behind the Mirror" donosi nešto noviji pristup. Na albumu se po prvi put u rad uključuju Ruth-Ann Boyle i Andru Donalds. Novitet na albumu je korišćenje semplova poznatih klasičnih dela, što se u Enigmi do tada nije pojavljivalo. Tako su se na albumu na čak četiri pesme našli delovi iz Karl Orfove kantate "Karmina Burana", a pesma "Modern Crusaders" završava melodijom iz Bahove "Tokate i fuge u D-molu". Takođe, na albumu je radio i Jens Gad kao gitarista.

2001. Izlazi kompilacija "Love Sensuality Devotion: The Greatest Hits" i kolekcija remiksa "Love Sensuality Devotion: The Remix Collection". Zajedno sa kompilacijom izašao je i singl "Turn Around" kojim je, kako Krecu smatra, obeležena prva faza projekta.

2003. godina se smatra godinom preokreta za projekat. Izašao je novi album, "Voyageur", koji je dao novi pečat projektu, i znatno se odaljio od onoga što je predstavljalo Enigmu prethodnu deceniju i po. Na albumu gotovo ne pojavljuje ništa od onoga što je bilo karakteristično za ranije albume. Ona transformacija zvuka koja se već mogla osetiti na albumu iz 2000. godine, sada je dovedena do kraja. Horovi i šakuhači frula su potpuno potisnuti iz kompozicija. Sve ovo je negativno uticalo na veliki broj ljubitelja ovog benda, što se odrazilo i na prodaju.

26. septembra 2006. izdat je šesti album "A Posteriori", koji, kao ni "Voyageur" nije imao mnogo sličnosti sa prva četiri albuma. Muzika je mnogo više pop orijentisana, sa uticajima modernih elektro pop i tehno žanrova.

19. septembra 2008. izlazi sedmi album "Seven Lives, Many Faces", koji je fuzija svih prethodnih Enigma albuma, sa mnogo novih primesa u zvuku, što se moglo i očekivati. Prvi singl sa albuma, "Seven Lives", kombinuje elemente klasične muzike sa modernim ritmom i bas sekcijama.

Nakon prvih par izdanja Enigme, na muzičkoj sceni se već počeo kreirati pravac koji je pratio ovu vrstu muzike, često nazivanu "Enigmatična muzika".

Projekti Gregorijan i Era su među značajnijim grupama koje su intenzivno koristile gregorijansko pevanje u svojim pesmama. Zajedno sa Enigmom, Deep Forest se smatra značajnijim bendom u smislu uvođenja tribalnog i narodnog pevanja u modernu muziku. Achillea, projekat Jens Gada, dugogodišnjeg Krecuovog saradnika, poseduje sličnu atmosferu, ali ima ženski glavni vokal, koji je na svakom albumu drugačiji, i na drugom jeziku.

Malo reči, a toliko emocija... Melodije koje pokreću ili nas ostavljaju da stojimo u mestu...
Kakva osećanja u vama budi zvuk Enigme?

Enigma toliko ume da me ponese sa sobom negde daleko... Negde gde ljudi još uvek mare za one druge, gde se pomoć pruža bez očekivanja dobiti, gde nema svih onih pogleda kojih ovde ima... Svih onih prekora u njima. Enigma kao da ima moć da uhvati za ruku i povede u neki drugi svet...

Jedna od mojih najdražih pesama je Why...

I was childish and unfair
To you, my only friend
I regret, but now it's too late
I can't show you any more
The things I've learned from you
Cause life just took you away
I'm asking why
I'm asking why
Nobody gives an answer
I'm just asking why
But someday we'll meet again
And I'll ask you
I'll ask you why
Why it has to be like this
I'm asking you why
Please give me an answer
Many years and stupid fights
Till we accept to see
How it was and it'll always be
Why it has to be like this
Why we don't realize
Why we're too blind to see the one
Who's always on our side
I'm asking why
I'm asking why
Nobody gives an answer
I'm just asking why
Just tell me why Why it has to be like this
That the good ones disappear
I'm asking you why
I'm asking why
I'm asking why
Nobody gives an answer
I'm just asking why
I'm asking why

Inače, smatram da je ,,Zašto?'' najgluplje moguće pitanje, ali isto tako znam da je i pitanje koje se ponekad samo od sebe nameće u našoj nemogućnosti da shvatimo svet koji nas okružuje...

T.N.T. for the Brain

Smell your skin
Feel your breath
You on my side
I couldn't resist

I hope I'll understand some day
What's the meaning of this crazy game
It is real and pure

T.N.T. for the brain

If there's no pain
Rules are still the same
I'm with you, just lead me
I'm ready to play

T.N.T. for the brain

Don't be scared and have no fear
I will show you what it means

If there's no pain
Rules are still the same
I'm with you, just lead me
I'm ready to play

T.N.T. for the brain

What you feel is insane
It is love and not a game
T.N.T. for the brain

The Rivers Of Belief

If you believe in light
it's because of obscurity
If zou believe in joy,
it's because of sadness
And if you believe in God,
it's because of the death.

Take me back to the rivers of belief
Take me back to the rivers of belief
my friend
I look inside my heart
I look inside my soul
I promise you
I will return
And when the Lamb opened the seventh seal
silence covered the sky
Take me back to the rivers of belief
Take me back to the rivers of belief
my friend
I look inside my heart
I look inside my soul
I'm reaching out for you
Lets hope one day
We'll rest in peace
on my rivers of belief

Enigma - Gravity of love

Latin
"O Fortuna
velut Luna"
(Translation
"O Fortune
like the Moon" )

Turn around and smell what you don't see
Close your eyes ... it is so clear
Here's the mirror, behind there is a screen
On both ways you can get in

Don't think twice before you listen to your heart
Follow the trace for a new start

What you need and everything you'll feel
Is just a question of the deal
In the eye of storm you'll see a lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love

Latin
"O Fortuna
velut Luna"
(Translation
"O Fortune
like the Moon")

--------Whispers---------
Woman :
The path of the excess leads to
the tower of Wisdom

Man :
The path of the excess leads to
the tower of Wisdom
---------Whispers----------

Try to think about it ...
That's the chance to live your life and discover
What it is, what's the gravity of love

Latin
"O Fortuna
velut Luna"
(Translation
"O Fortune
like the Moon" )

Look around just people, can you hear their voice
Find the one who'll guide you to the limits of your choice

But if you're in the eye of storm
Just think of the lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love.

Latin
"O Fortuna
velut Luna"
(Translation
"O Fortune
like the Moon" )

Enigma - Return to innocence

Love...
Devotion...
Feeling...
Emotion...

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence

The return to innocence

If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence

Following the sun

Following the sun, to find the one
who's giving you the wings to fly,
Following the sun, the golden one,
losing sense for space and time.

Can you feel the waves of life?
(Can you) hear the sigh of love?
Do you believe in it?

Following the sun, just for the one,
till you'll find the door you thought.
Following the sun, like everyone,
searching for a sign of hope.

Have a look up to the sky,
see the billion stars above,
cos (maybe) on one of them
you'll spend your further life.

Principles of lust

Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, Amen...

Cum angelis et pueris, fideles inveniamur

Attollite portas, principes, vestras
et elevamini, portae aeternales
et introibit Rex Gloriae
Svice, svice, tek sto nije

Sade, dit moi...
Sade, donne moi...

Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, Amen...

Sade dit moi qu'est ce que tu vas chercher ?
Le bien par le mal ?
La vertu par le vice ?
Sade dit moi pourquoi l'evangile du mal ?
Quelle est ta religion ou` sont tes fide`les ?
Si tu es contre Dieu, tu es contre l'homme.
Sade es-tu diabolique ou divin ?

(3x)

Sade, dit moi...
Hosanna...
Sade, donne moi...
Hosanna...

In nomine Christi, Amen...

B : Find Love

The principles of lust... Are easy to understand
Do what you feel... Feel until the end
The principles of lust... Are burnt in your mind
Do what you want... Do it until you find Love...

C : Sadeness (Reprise)

(3x)

Sade, dit moi...
Hosanna...
Sade, donne moi...
Hosanna...

Push the limits

Basic instincts, social life
Paradoxes side by side
Don't submit to stupid rules
Be yourself and not a fool
Don't accept average habits
Open your heart and push the limits
Open your heart
And push the limits
