Review

"Seven Lives Many Faces" by Enigma is a captivating journey through sound that continues the project's legacy of blending ambient, world music, and electronic elements into a deeply atmospheric listening experience. Released in 2008, this album presents a more global and diverse sound palette, with tracks that explore different cultural textures while maintaining Enigma's signature ethereal vibe. From the haunting vocals and layered synths of "Seven Lives" to the hypnotic rhythms of "Touchness" and "La Puerta del Cielo," the album invites introspection and emotional connection. Michael Cretu, the mastermind behind Enigma, demonstrates his continued evolution as a producer, weaving together spiritual overtones and modern electronic sounds. Though some may find the album less groundbreaking compared to Enigma's earlier works, "Seven Lives Many Faces" stands as a mature and cohesive collection. It reflects a refined soundscape that is both meditative and cinematic, perfect for reflective listening. A must for fans of ambient electronica and those seeking music that transcends language and borders.
