E7 is pretty much E5 style but a way much better than E5 and it has a good potential to grow inside. Of course not all tracks are favourable. I'll publish the full review of the new album on official album release date, therefore I leave my thoughts on each track to that time. Nice to see you back Majid,

I listened to it completely. Like all his other works, this one is also new and interesting. Seven Lives Many Faces is full of distortions and strong music. But it's not perfect. Instead of slow and ambient themes, we more face shouting and singing, and undoubtedly Michael's vocals are no match for his music. There are some nice tricks like in the "deja vu" we hear some things from "the Roundabout" of Enigma3 and it really is a deja vu. Or in "Hell's heaven", we have nice music representing the heaven, but some distortions appear in the middle to remind us our heaven is located in hell! Encounters is long for an Enigma first music and is based on heartbeat rythem. Between Generations is all indian singing, but unlike "La Puerta Del Cielo" it's sad and it reminded me the songs they sing for martyrs. Anyway, it's admirable. But I still believe, "A Posteriori" is Enigma's best album. It’s finally out! I listened to it completely. Like all his other works, this one is also new and interesting.

I agree with shadow on fake music found on p2p networks and to me that's mostly the case. I tried contacting Aligma but he didn't answer back. Personally, I don't think anyone has got his hands on the new album despite Michael Cretu and his trusted ones and the recording company. Also, there were 3 webmasters of Enigma fans web sites who were given the chance of listening to new album by Michael Cretu himself. The exclusive listening session was conducted in Michael's private studio :shock: You can follow the experience from this link: http://www.enigmamusic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13184 About amoyaan's comment, I totally agree with you on this issue but there are unfortunately true facts out there. One single example is my own experience. Here in Iran, we don't have any official releases of albums of any kind since it is kinda forbidden by government and at the same time recording companies are not interested in releasing albums. So what other options do we have left? The only option could be buying music from iTunes but it is no good again since iTunes does not accept prepaid credit cards from Iran (the only type available in Iran with almost a high price). If I had the option, I would've paid twice as much for Michael Cretu's music... Thumbs up for amoyaan, mr and Shadow.

This discourages people from legally buying the album. Less album sales means less likelihood Enigma will continue in the future. Please be patient people - I know how hard it is, as I love this music too. But only a few more weeks :mrgreen: Please, please – if you like Enigma at all, DON’T SHARE MUSIC FILES!

Beautiful, it contains two childrens voices-one singing and one talking. A mellow track-very nice. I have heart Encounters, and too have touchness.
