 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Enigma
MCMXC AD. Engima's first album was, amazingly enough, released in 1990 - and hence the title of the album ("MCMXC AD"). It became an instant international success with its combination of monastic-style music and modern dance sounds.
| What was Enigma's debut single, which became a Number One smash around the globe, including the UK? | Enigma (Michael Cretu)
|
Sadeness (Part 1). The spelling of the single seems to vary depending on where you see it. It is either spelt "Sadness" or "Sadeness". Anyway, the song went to Number One in several coutries, including the UK in January 1991, having been released in December 1990. It stayed at the top for one week.
Second Chapter. Engima's albums acknowledge the order in which they were written. On "The Cross Of Changes" you can see the number 2 by the band name, similarly on "Le Roi Est Mort..." there is the number 3 and so on.
| Rising to number three in the UK charts, what was the first UK single from the second album? | Enigma (Michael Cretu)
|
Return To Innocence. An incredible five tracks were released as singles in Europe from the second album. Other singles include "Carly's Song" and "Age Of Loneliness", one of the other choices for this question.
| "Age Of Loneliness", from "The Cross Of Changes" featured on the soundtrack of which film starring Sharon Stone? | Enigma (Michael Cretu)
|
Sliver. All films starred Sharon Stone, but "Sliver" was the correct one. On the back of the film, this song was also released in the UK.
1996. The album title literally translates from French as: "The King is dead, long live the King" - a statement that while things change, in reality nothing actually changes. This view is confirmed with the opening lyrics to the album - "Things are changing, but nothing changes, and still there are changes. Le roi est mort, vive le roi!".
Third Of Its Kind. Other uses of tracks from the third album include the track "The Roundabout" in the trailer for the movie "One Night Stand" and the track "TNT For The Brain" in the US TV show "Millennium".
The Screen Behind The Mirror. "The Screen Behind The Mirror" was the correct answer, although all four are the titles of tracks on the album. The track "Gravity Of Love" was the first single from the album, and the video for it was filmed in Vienna, Austria.
"Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff. "Carmina Burana", in particular that section of it called "O Fortuna", appears most notably in the tracks "The Gate", "Gravity Of Love" and "Modern Crusaders".
2003. Three tracks from the album were released as singles in varying parts of the world - "Voyageur", "Following The Sun" and "Boum-Boum".
Romania. Michael Cretu was born on May 18th, 1957 in Bucharest, which is the capital of Romania, Europe.
Sarah Brightman. While Jens Gad (guitarist and co-producer), Andru Donalds (vocals), and Ruth Ann Boyle (vocals) have all lent their superb talents to various past Enigma albums, Sarah Brightman, although her lovely voice would be most fitting addition to Enigma's sensuous music, has yet to appear on an Enigma album.
| How many full-length Enigma albums have been released-to-date (May 2006) including greatest hits and remix compilations? | The Music Of Enigma
|
7. To date there have been seven Enigma albums released: MCMXC a.d. (1990), The Cross Of Changes (1994), Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi! (1996), The Screen Behind The Mirror (2000), Love Sensuality Devotion: Greatest Hits (2001), Love Sensuality Devotion: The Remix Collection (2001) and Voyageur (2003)
| Which song is NOT featured on the Love Sensuality Devotion: Greatest Hits album? | The Music Of Enigma
|
Almost Full Moon. "Almost Full Moon", although one of Enigma's most sensuous and erotic songs, was excluded from this otherwise excellent collection.
| Who introduces herself as "The Voice Of Enigma" at the very beginning of MCMXC a.d.? | The Music Of Enigma
|
Louisa Stanley. "The Voice Of Enigma" begins with an echoed horn, which will become one of the trademark instruments. Another trademark Enigma instrument present in this track is the "falling-star" effect. This is not a full song, but rather an opening to the album, in which Louisa Stanley's soft voice instructs the listener to relax and prepare for a journey into a different world.
| "Sadeness", the fabulous single from the debut album, "MCMXC a.d.", was co-produced by Michael Cretu and "F. Gregorian" according to the album's liner notes. What is F. Gregorian's real name? | The Music Of Enigma
|
Frank Peterson. Frank Peterson collaborated with Michael Cretu to create one of the most innovative and provocative songs ever recorded, "Sadeness", which topped the charts worldwide. However, Peterson left Enigma soon afterwards to form his own project, Gregorian, which performs covers of popular songs with Gregorian Chant. Frank is also a close acquaintance of diva, Sarah Brightman.
| Which is the only Enigma song that never appeared on an Enigma full length album, but was included on an Enigma single? | The Music Of Enigma
|

| What is the alternate title of the song "Age Of Loneliness" which is found on the "Sliver" soundtrack? | The Music Of Enigma
|

An instrumental version of the song entitled "Carly's Loneliness" also appears on the soundtrack. The film features Sharon Stone as Carly.
