Comments

Following up his first two albums must have been difficult, but Enigma's third album is as finely crafted and mellow as MCMXC and Cross of Changes. The music has a fuller sound, slow beats and deeply ambient, tending often towards powerful laments. I regard this as the best of the first four Enigma albums.

The CD sleeve from the original release is made from a sort of translucent plastic and looks almost holographic.
