So much unnecessary fuss was made over Enigma's juxtaposition of the sexual and sacred. After all, Prince had been doing it for years, and his take on it was far more interesting--and a lot more daring. But Enigma's MCMXC A.D. did manage to work a lot of people into a lather, both on the dance floor and behind the pulpit. Their inclusion of chanting monks in "Sadeness," over wooshy ambient noises and a slower hip-hop-appropriated beat was a sensation. "Callas Went Away" promised more than it could deliver, although "Mea Culpa" stands as one of the few shining moments on the CD. The idea of mixing new age aural wallpaper with beats that you can do a slow grind to is actually rather intriguing. Spicing it up with controversial religious chants isn't a bad idea either. But there's got to be something personal to it. After the initial novelty wears off, there's nothing to MCMXC A.D. other than bland, cold, impersonal repetition. Now, that might be what most people are used to, but what's so sexy about it? --Steve Gdula

 A gratifying listening experience August 26, 2008
MCMXC A.D.--Enigma's debut album--was released in 1990. The seven compositions are seamless and play like an extended piece. The material is in a New Age musical direction. The album's sound quality is pleasing. I have always enjoyed listening to this piece of work over the years. Words to characterize MCMXC A.D. would be mysterious, refined, smooth, and creative. I like every one of the tracks. The Gregorian chants, the sounds of the flute, and the pulsating beats are what I find most memorable about this album. The disc is just over 40 minutes. MCMXC A.D. is recommendable.
 Pleased with the purchase May 30, 2008
Thank you for the CD I was very please with the condition and speed in which I recieved it.
Strange but Good. May 27, 2008
I first heard this CD back in 1993 from a friend who brought it back from Czechoslovakia when he moved here, and I thought it was great. For 1993, it was hip, fun, and different from the trash and alternative music out there. I was a fan of Enya back then (still am), so Enigma's strange quasi-techno beats and rythms appealed to me. I bought MCMXC A.D. back in 2003 because I was looking for some relazing music, and 10 years hadn't changed my perception of the still strange rythms, sound effects, synthe pads, and ambiance.
This won't appeal to everyone, but for those who are looking for a unique listening experience that blends dance, strange sound effects, techno, and some 90's hip-hop beats, check out MCMXC A.D.
 WOW! February 15, 2008
If you need to relax, put this in. This is some of the best music to relax or meditate to. I actually first heard this from my college roommate. He was into martial arts and would play this as he did his thing. So, if you've had a hard day, put this in and instantly relax.
The Ultimate Mood Music!! September 21, 2007
This is the best of all Enigma's CDs. Would absolutely love to see them perform in concert! This particular CD is a must to be played when you are with that VERY SPECIAL someone, and for those very intimate times. It is moving, sensual, and utterly draws you into it, which makes the intimate experience unlike anything ever felt before. What I am saying is that this CD enhances the feelings already there!!! Absolutely unbelievable!!!!
