New Enigma

I just picked up the new Enigma album called Cross of Changes today, and so far it is great. I'm listening to it right now, but I've only gotten to track 6 so I'll post a full review later. Just a few comments to begin with, it's much more melodic and demonstrates a much better composition skill than their first one. Curly is great at combining classical sounds (choir, orchestra, vocals) with deep beats and ambient noise to create a unique tapestry. The first album was very predictable, simply because they used pretty much all of the same sounds in their songs. This one is very different in that aspect. There's a lot of variety. You'll still hear the occasional classic Enigma sound, but it's not near as repetitive. So far, I give it a 9/10. More info later... DJ Luke
