Enigma is pretty good, and I don't think people should remember them only for gregorian stuff, they have made much more than that. But I'm not sure if they should be considered as prog, though. Maybe new age as it is

How bad they are! Ludicrous synth "atmospheric" pop music to put in the competition with JM Jarre and Vangelis

if that's the ENIGMA you mean (michael cretu
produced) then i have to say ELEVATOR MUSIC of the lowest order, watered-down new age drivel for people who have no opinions |

progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

Enigma is just a band who ruined Gregorian Chants adding electronic monotonous dance patterns, they are simply boring and should be sued for runing good music. They had a great idea and a good chance to do something innovative but didn't had the skills to work it, just created music to be played in every discoteque back in the 90's. IMO mediocre to say the best. I don't even mention their other works because are even of less quality, just New Age of second rate. And don't compare them with Jarre who at least made an imaginative show and much less with Vangelis, responsible in 90% for 666 and creator of the magnifiscent Heaven and Hell.

I quite like some of the work ... Return To Innocence is one for my
favourite videos ever ... and the first album is quite strong ... after
a while the project became a little tired though ...
P.S. I'm moving this to Non-Prog Music |

Yeah ... there really is something about it that gets me, it was really clever and really moving. |

Why do you mention me, maybe because I gave a valid argument and developed it in a way you can't reply? Or maybe because I'm the only one that remembers their music was a discothec favorite during the early 90's? Give arguments why you believe it's Prog, saying "How great can they be" or "Many Prog' bands can't hold a candle" means nothing. Anfd you have the guts of being angry when somebody takes his time of giving arguments? Iván Edited by ivan_2068 |

I enjoy their music a lot. I though "La Roi est Mort" was their best, but 1 and 2 were good too. Did you know the band name changed with each of their early albums. For example the second album was actually by Enigma 2. The non-prog section is certainly the right place for them, although I tend to agree there is a link from their music to prog. Can't see them ever beign added to the archives though! |
