» ENIGMA Platinum Collection « to be released in November
One month before the 20th anniversary, “The Platinum Collection” of ENIGMA is a look back on one of the most successful musical projects of the last years. With over 50 million records sold worldwide, more than 100 platinum and gold awards and over 50 1 chart positions, mastermind Michael Cretu is eclipsing twenty years of a musical journey with a 3 CD-Box Set release.
To accompany the compilation of seventeen selected tracks of ENIGMA’s „Greatest Hits“ and a „Remix Collection“ of eleven tracks, is a 3rd CD called “The Lost Ones” which delivers a never before allowed insight into the creative sound laboratory of ENIGMA. “Everything starts with trial and error.” Michael Cretu explains. “Sometimes it’s a sound, then a melody, a harmony or a mood. The “Lost Ones” are my way of instrumental drafts developed from a boiling cauldron full of unordered, naive und carefree musical ideas.”
The mix of well-known worldwide hits and musical drafts collected over the last few years will be released on the 20th of November 2009. (Virgin/EMI Music).

New ENIGMA Single » The Same Parents « and » Seven Lives Many Faces « DVD
Second single from the new ENIGMA album “Seven Lives Many Faces” is "The Same Parents" and it will be digitally released on worldwide iTunes Music Stores within few weeks as an autumn/winter highlight, aiming radio airplay. "The Same Parents" features lead vocals of Michael's sons Nikita and Sebastian and here's the story of this chapter from the new album:
"There is a simple, but impressive story behind this song", says Michael Cretu. One day, one of the Cretu sons came to his father after watching news and asked him: "I don't understand: Why people are fighting against each other? Many million years ago there were just one mother and one father. At the end, we are all brothers and sisters." Cretu was really impressed about the simplicity, but also naive profundity of this question, and decided to write a song about it.
Even more important news is that on 28th November 2008, the brand new ENIGMA DVD ''Seven Lives Many Faces'' will be released in Germany and worldwide. The new DVD will feature all songs' complete videos. Previously appeared videos of single tracks “Seven Lives” and “La Puerta Del Cielo” will also be included in this compilation. Furthermore, as a bonus, there'll be audio comments section in German/English and a press pictures gallery package on the release. Hauntingly beautiful artwork is again done by Dirk Rudolph based on the album cover but with different colour scheme.

I did an Enigma mix with an entire master mixdown of some of my favorite Enigma songs covering the first 4 Enigma records. Of course.. nothing has been modified outside of EQ matching and minor intermission delays to create overdub turntable like mixing and beatmatching. I even threw in reversed lead solos of David Gilmour between the songs. I would never put this mix out without David Gilmour's and Michael Cretu's approval. There is one master CD. I would like to send the CD to Enigma Studios. I called the record, "The Infinite Dimension of Change."
Our present for Everyone...May you be blessed now in every way imaginable with Love, Peace, Kindness, Compassion, Happiness! Please read our latest blog, "The Homework Assignment." Enjoy! Happy Holidays! ~Erin & Steve
