Michael Cretu, the man behind Enigma, formulates an intriguing symbiosis between New Age musicality, classical and world-music influences, and dance-club rhythms. Gregorian chants, Native American meditations, and the breathy musings of a French chanteuse have been incorporated into legendary dance-floor hits from his previous three albums. The leitmotif of his fourth album, The Screen Behind the Mirror, is the grandly ominous "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. "O Fortuna" opens the set and appears repeatedly throughout the tracks, sometimes lurking in the background, sometimes storming into the forefront. This album marks Enigma's continued foray into the ambient New Age realm, as Cretu's efforts focus more and more on melding compatible styles of world music, while the tracks are mixed into a single continuum. There's a lot to chew on; bits and pieces of church bells, Middle Eastern singing, and native instrumentation from you-name-it fold into each other on a steady current of shuffling hip-hop rhythms and velvety synthesized melodies. Cretu lends vocals to several songs, and his voice stands somewhere between Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins (though it's not as good as either), tending to distract from the album's flow and mood, lending it more of a prog-rock feel at times that he probably intended. Albums like this continue to invoke the same question: Is this a beautiful, transcendent union of artificial and indigenous sounds or is it just a bunch of self-indulgent schlock? It can be answered either way with equal conviction. --Beth Massa

Customer Reviews of The Screen Behind the Mirror

One of the better cd's I have heard lately.
Well, many people would say that Enigma is backround music or novelty music or whatever but I have to disagree. Many of the songs on here are too powerful and surley have too much emotion to be simply called backround music. With that said this cd has 3 of my favorite Enigma songs which include: "Push the Limits", "Gravity of Love", and Traces(Light and Weight). The rest of the album is very good also these are just the songs that really stick out to me. All in all I would be very quick to recommend this cd to those with open minds and fans of real music.


Wonderfully Different
Enigma has continued to be a favorite. With the release of each subsequent work I find new reason to enjoy the music. Screen Behind The Mirror took me a few listenings to warm up to its feel. However, now I find it difficult to put down. Being a fan of Orff's work helps and the samplings of Carmina Burana add an interesting flavor to each track where they appear. My recommendation would be to listen long and hard before discounting this one. Let it play in the background while you go about other chores. You'll soon find yourself enjoying it more than you believed possible.


Gravity of Love and Push the Limits
After seeing the videos for these two songs it makes them that much better, they are great songs! The videos are really cool and unique. Screen Behind the Mirror is Enigmas best and I pretty much knew this after one listen, they are not trying to relax you as much anymore and yet they still do, but now they just plane rock! They are like a New Age/Electronic/Rock band on this album. The use of Carmina Burana is pretty awesome, a very classic epic sounding classical piece. What could be more epic then it in all of musical history? Used in movie trailers and sports highlights and more! Enigma borrows it with a cool style. <

>"The Gate" is a fine opening for Enigma and it leads into the really awesome "Push the Limits"(Great video). "Gravity of Love" Very epic and intense at times, one of the bands best songs and videos. "Modern Crusaders" is my least favorite song, not huge on the male vocals in the band and the lyrics aren't that special. "Smell of Desire" nice and relaxing. This is one band that really does help me feel calm. "Traces (Light and Weight)" Another relaxing and cool song. "The Screen Behind the Mirror" is an interesting mix of another song into a new. "Endless Quest" is a nicely moving song. "Camera Obscura" a filler, but good. "Between Mind and Heart" Yet another moving and relaxing song. "Silence Must Be Heard" Great ending song to Enigmas best album. You don't really hear this band anymore, which is a shame, they got even better near the end, because they made a great album here and I think this one will stand the test of time more then their other albums, because it has a really cool sound to it that will fit right in with the future of music to come.
