Enigma - The Cross Of Changes (1993) [Japan 1st Press, 1994] Repost

THE CROSS OF CHANGES (ENIGMA 2) is the second studio album by the German musical project Enigma, headed by Romanian-German musician and producer Michael Cretu. The Cross Of Changes is a musical step forward but it nevertheless incorporates all of the instinctive elements that MCMXC a.D. does but in a completely new guise.

With the second album Enigma clawed it's way even further into success, not least because of the very popular track Return to Innocence, though it was also this song that would cause the most problems for the release. It contains a chant that was later found to be owned by a tribe who sued and settled to receive part of the profit from sales.

Around the time Michael Cretu worked on The Cross of Changes he was asked to create music for a film titled Sliver, starring Sharon Stone, William Baldwin, Tom Berenger and Martin Landau, and this led to one original track that also made it to the album in a remixed form. Here it is called Age of Loneliness, with the subtitle "Carly's Song" as a reference to the main character's name. Mixes of tracks found on MCMXC a.D. were also used used throughout the film.
