Michael Cretu's career album 1979, he released his first album "Moon, Light and Flowers" at Polaroid Records. Cretu's work helped him win the first prize of 1980, which is a good result of his producer career. 1983, Cretu released the album Legion under Virgin, pushing him to the position of creator and producer. He is responsible for producing Sandra(Cretu's wife)' s first international single Maria Magdalena and another solo album Die Chinese Mauer. Later, some albums, Hollow Man and Chinese Wall, were also released, but they were all in English. From 65438 to 0985, as a producer, he worked with Moti Special and Tisch. 1987 met Mike Oldfield through Sylvie Watan, and helped Mike Oldfield to produce the album Islands. Encouraged by MikeOldfield, Cretu was persuaded to stay away from producers and engage in music creation. 1Married on February 7th, 988, Michael Cretu married Sandra Lauer and soon lived in Ibiza (an island in the Mediterranean), where they had an old farm and a recording studio. Cretu opened a hotel in the basement of his old house and often invited friends to visit him. He lived happily there. From 65438 to 0989, he began to be imprisoned in the recording studio at home. He said: "After the success of Sandra's album, I had time to make my own music for the first time." Sandra Lauer, the other protagonist of Enigma, Cretu's wife, sang a female voice on all Enigma records she recorded. This couple is a model of pop music. Sandra's full name is Sandra Raul and she was born in May 1962. 12 years old, released a solo single "Andy, my friend" (Andy, my friend). /kloc-When she was 0/6 years old, she and two girls formed an Arabic singing group that was very popular in Japan at that time. 1985, Sandra started her solo career and released the album The Long Play under Virgin. 1987 released his first editing album "Ten to One" and began to cooperate with Cretu. The album Eternal Love was released in the United States and Canada. Ingmar and his wife 1988 She released her next studio album "Into the Secret Land". Before the first album was released on 1990, Enigma also released the hit album Yellow Painting. At that time, the company was making "2000 BC" and needed a female voice to sing French. Richard Branson, the boss of Virgin Company, decided that Sandra should play the role, and The Mystery was born. After that, Sandra released three albums with the help of her husband, but the influence was obviously not as good as Enigma. After the success of Enigma, she published Close to Seven in 1992, and the production and writing were completed by Cretu. Later, on the basis of this album, an edited version of 18' s greatest hit was released. The honor of achievement and originality was freed from European pop music, and Cretu set about her favorite music: the concept school, such as Pink Floride or YES band. He said: "I have always liked this kind of music, but I don't buy their records anymore because I have to make my own records." Cretu used two totally different and unfashionable sampling sounds in his music-the Peruvian style flute and the Gregorian hymn melody sung by monks, and the free and easy disco beat was his original creation. This is also the most attractive place for the out-and-out originality of Enigma. Innovation 1990 10, Enigma's first single "Sadness Part I" was released for the first time and became their most famous hit single. The solo album MCMXC.a.D (2000 BC) released immediately afterwards became the best-selling album in German history. An album sold120,000 copies, topped the album charts in 465.438+0 countries, and stayed in the US 200 charts for five years. When pop music progressed steadily in the 1990s, no one expected that Enigma did not follow the standard and successful pop rules, but used flute and medieval hymns, electric guitar, brass pipes and other modern instruments to convey the breath, emotion and energy of modern people. The classic songs in this album are Mea Culpa, Principles of Desire and Rivers Of Belief. It is also very commendable that MCMXC.a.D adopts superb recording and mixing technology. All tracks naturally flow into each other, and the application of stereo and bass is perfect. MCMXC.a.D put it into a fever sound system, releasing a lot of bass, which is amazing and fascinating. In 199 1, McMxC. A.D. released the * * version and added four tracks, but all of them were remixed and expanded on the basis of the original album songs, so this record has a feeling of one go from beginning to end. The cover design of the * * version of the record is almost the same as that of the original, except that the original black is replaced by a dark green background. Generally speaking, MCMXC.a.D (2000 BC) is Jason's work in the history of pop music in the 1990s. Its music is very original, creating a unique atmosphere again and again. So far, this kind of sound and atmosphere has only been successfully imitated and improved by another artist, that is, Delerium and their album Semantic Speaces, and most people have failed to try this kind of music. Two years later, he began to produce the soundtrack for the movie Silver Bar. 1993, the second album "The Cross of Change" of Enigma was released. Due to the success of the first album. The second album has received orders for 6.5438+0.4 million CDs before its official release. This album not only has the temperament of the last album, but also is an evolution. Its cover design is very tasteful: there is a black circle and a robot with human characteristics in front, and the line drawing looks blurred. The Cross of Change has nine songs, and the beginning of each song is similar to that of the previous album, but there are obviously different male voices in various backgrounds. Although this album did not surpass the first album in sales, it still achieved 24 gold records, and won the first place in the British charts and the second place in Oceania and Europe. At the crossroads of change, two popular songs were born: Eye of Truth and Return to Innocence. In particular, "Back to Nature" involves more symphonic elements, and obviously tends to have the song structure of Lapp hymns with modern rhythm. As a chorus, this song makes people feel happy and happy. One of the reasons is that Enigma extended its interest to the ancient Nordic music culture. Lapps live in Sweden, Norway, Finland and northern Russia. The success of this music tape has made it a popular single all over the world. 1994, the cross of change produced a "special edition", similar to the previous "* * * edition". The "Special Edition" added three songs, and each song was remixed, but unlike the "* * * Edition", it was not remixed with each other. Moreover, by contrast, the "special edition" is even rarer than the "* * * edition". Because it is not released in the United States, it is difficult to find "special edition" records in some record stores around the world. 1996165438+1On October 25th, Virgin Records released its latest album Le Roi Est Mort, ViveLe Roi for the first time in the world! (This is German. The Chinese translation means that the king is dead, long live the king, and the Taiwan Province Province has changed the dynasty. The English translation means that the king is dead, long live the king! . )。 The first single is "Beyond the Invisible". Compared with the previous album, the new album not only has a different atmosphere, but also has a more peaceful drum tone, and there are new minority voices-from Zulu to Latvian, which has been praised by critics as the most unified and mysterious album so far. This new album conveys many natural and philosophical concepts, and the theme of this concept is "Why". Beyond the Invisible is a classic single of Enigma. Cretu's voice paved the way for an irresistible hymn chorus and a melody with the heart. In 2000, Enigma released "Behind the Mirror Screen" again.
