I am an Enigma ;-p
Yep, I like many types of music besides Rock, I love Techno ( done right, a la Paul Oakenfold ) and I love to chill out to Jazz, smooth not so much the traditional. I love to listen to many forms of music as my mood deems , so today I want to talk about a group I actually fell in love with back in 1995, Enigma.
This group is so emotional to me , they never in any of their albums let my soul down. No matter what I am dealing with, going through I find solace in their music and words. The first time I heard Enigma was probably the same song most non fans heard, Sadeness on the Pure Moods Album.

I was taken in immediately with the total difference of sound I was hearing, remember this was the end of the Dance music craze of the late 80′s and early 90′s. But it was not until I got into using a music download service when I was in college that I really got into all the groups music.
The next album I listened to was Enigma 3: Le Roi Est Mort Vive Le Roi! I had never heard concept music like that ( unless you count Pink Floyd, but with lyrics) so I was captivated that I could get enjoyment from music that was mostly devoid of lyrics, or rather had the lyrics embedded so deeply that you almost heard them as musical tones.
Today I am a full fledged fan of the group and choose to have their albums in my MP3 list most often at the beginning of each day. What tops my list most often? The Screen Behind the Mirror:
Favorite songs from this album are Push The Limit and Silence Must Be Heard. The other album that I have recently become infatuated with is A. Posteriori and the tracks that get my blood going are Dancing With Mephisto, Dreaming of Andromeda and Sitting on the Moon.
So today, when I was ready to come here and work on the blog I had A. Posteriori playing and decided to change my topic for today’s post from The Kinks ( yeah, I know and I promise to get them done up nicely tomorrow, pinky swear ) and decided that they deserved a space on my blog, rock they may not be but timely , moving and cool they will be forever.
And if you care to know what A. Posteriori means ~
Knowledge proven through experience.
Sums up my life.
