Enigma - Love Sensuality Devotion: The Greatest Hits(more) »rank: 2487by: Enigma
Our review: :A greatest-hits package sampling four Enigma discs released between 1990 and 2000, LSD splendidly documents the influential output of Michael Cretu, a techno-bohemian who successfully creates cinematic, otherworldly New Age-like musical suites. Now, more than a decade removed from the arrival of Sadeness (Part 1) and its eyebrow-raising mix of sacred and sensual subplots, people can debate whether Cretu's music represents savvy commercial calculation or satisfying art. LSD suggests a split decision, though tracks with intriguing blends of atmosphere and rhythm, such as 'Gravity of Love,' 'T.N.T. for the Brain' and 'Morphing Thru Time,' reveal an inventiveness that demonstrates Cretu is capable of ...

Deep Forest(more) »rank: 4404by: Deep Forest
Our review: :The primordial unknown--or the modern urban dweller's impressions thereof--has long been a staple of New Age music. So it was only a matter of time before some studio whiz got the notion to take the translation process one step further and bring that atmosphere to the dance floor. It's definitely authentic--the creators studied and borrowed genuine chants from African tribes--but just as importantly, it's remarkably seductive. The chart-topping signature song, 'Sweet Lullaby,' is indicative of what's going on in the grooves of the other nine tracks; ambient house beats burble pastorally while 'multi-culti' samples ebb and flow gracefully, even romantically, through the mix. ...
