Enigma is an electronic musical project founded in Germany by Michael Cretu in 1990. The Romanian musician conceived the Enigma project while working in Germany, but has based his recording studio A.R.T. Studios in Ibiza, Spain, since the early 1990s until May 2009, where he has recorded all of Enigma's studio releases to date. Cretu is the composer , the producer and performer in every song of the project. His former wife Sandra Lauer often provided vocals on Enigma tracks. Jens Gad co-arranged and played guitar on three of the Enigma albums.
Enigma's first two studio albums also led to the creation and popularity of bands and musical groups that follow similar styles, often called "Enigmatic Music" such as Era, Gregorians and Deep Forest.
Michael Cretu created a new kind of music, not only a new style but also introduced some technical changes in music production. With MCMXC a.D., Cretu developed his own technical features and intentions of sampling. Though samples were in use long before (introduced by such musicians as Jean-Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze and others), Cretu built his own music around whole sequences of previously recorded parts. His method was not remixing and remodelling, but rather recontextualisation -- by changing a piece of music's natural environment. A new method of composing and album creating process.
Michael Cretu changed music forever. But not only that, all his philosophy studies are present in Enigma´s songs as well. Life after death, a God that trascends every religion, the reason of life, emotions, the universe, the respect for life above man kind conflicts, etc, are themes always present in every album, taking the listener to another level of music. Right to the subtle levels of excellence.
