A Posteriori

Enigma: Michael Cretu (various instruments). Recording information: 2006. Released in 2006, Enigma's sixth album, A POSTERIORI, stays in the same techno-tinged vein of its predecessor, VOYAGEUR. On these 12 songs, sonic architect Michael Cretu focuses on synth-heavy grooves more than on New Age atmospherics, resulting in one of Enigma's more dance-oriented outings. Stand-out tracks include the house-influenced "Feel Me Heaven," the goth-leaning "Dancing with Mephisto," and the beat-driven "Hello and Welcome." Those seeking the act's exotic, dreamy sound (a la MCMXC A.D.) will find it bookending the record with "Eppur Si Muove" and "Goodbye Milky Way," but, for the most part, Cretu seems content to offer up tracks that are tailor-made to fit perfectly into the late-night playlists of European clubs.
