Love, Sensuality, and Devotion-The Remix Collection is a rearranged version of the same album released in 2001, the first being Love, Sensuality, and Devotion, the Remix version was soon to follow. How many times can you rearrange the same song? Well, ask Crétu. Apparently, the nature of the music makes it less than difficult to come up with fresh versions using the same tracks, you just have to be a mixing genius to make it happen, which in reality is not an easy task to accomplish. It is apparent that the artist was successful on this venture and I am certain this CD will be flying off the shelves in stores and I can foresee some healthy download activity.

The first time I heard this CD I thought it was different and interesting, not your typical dance mix music by far. This is a tasteful blend of pop, rock, world, vocals, and dance all wrapped up nicely to form the unique and appealing Enigma sound. Selling 22 million albums worldwide speaks for itself however just because an artist has a ton of sales these days it does not mean it is a quality product, however in this case it does apply. I found this entire CD captivating my attention from beginning to end. I like the blend of all the elements and the way it comes together in each track. The presentation is superb with excellent production-it is quite simply, brilliant.

Usually music of this sort does not hold my interest for more than one or two spins but this CD has kept my attention and interest with each listen and I intend to give it a few more spins before it finds a home on the shelf somewhere. That is the best compliment I can give any CD because I have so many choices in front of me at all times. This is more than background music or a mild diversion, it has substance and feeling, which in most cases does not apply to any sort of dance music or sub genres thereof.

“Good Evening, this is the voice of Enigma. We will take you with us into another world – into the world of Music, Spirit and Meditation. Turn off the light, take a deep breath and let the rhythm be your guiding light.” — Intro from Enigma’s MCMXC A.D. (1990)

Sixteen years ago, a new era of pop music began with these words. It was the announcement of an all-embracing, comprehensive work of art; sounds of ancient origins and voices from diverse cultures combined with rhythms belonging to the contemporary spirits of the dance floor. From all of these seemingly contradictive elements a new sound was created, a new listening adventure, a new idea. It became Enigma.

With its club-spawned single “Sadeness (Part 1)” (#1 Dance, #5 Hot 100, #6 Modern Rock) leading the charge, Enigma’s 1990 debut album MCMXC A.D. invaded charts around the world, peaking at #6 on Billboard’s Top 200. 1994’s The Cross of Changes peaked at #9 in the U.S., fuelled by the stunning single “Return To Innocence” (#2 Modern Rock, #4 Hot 100 and #6 Top 40). 1996’s Enigma 3: Le Roi Est Mort, Vive le Roi!, 2000’s The Screen Behind The Mirror, 2003’s Voyageur, and this year’s A Posteriori followed.

Released by Virgin/EMI in 2001, Enigma’s gold-certified hits collection Love Sensuality Devotion peaked at #29 on Billboard’s Top 200 and has sold more than 700,000 copies in the U.S.
