Binding: Audio CDEAN: 7243590447296 Label: Virgin Records Us Manufacturer: Virgin Records Us MPN: 90447 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Virgin Records Us Release Date: September 30, 2003 Studio: Virgin Records Us Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Enigma, aka Michael Crétu, turns out more light electronic ambience on Voyageur, mixing in an occasional twist but sticking pretty close to his successful, easily digested formula. Since Enigma's massively popular debut MDMXC A.D., Crétu has moved toward a more New Age/adult contemporary sound, culminating with 2000's bland The Screen Behind The Mirror. As with that record, Voyageur's weakest moments happen when Crétu puts his mediocre vocals front and center on tracks like "Total Eclipse of the Moon." Better are more beat-oriented songs like "Boum-Boum" that concentrate on seedier, sexier material and stay away from Crétu's sappier instincts. While overall, Voyageur counts as an improvement over Mirror, Enigma still hasn't found a replacement for the Gregorian chants and whispery techno that made MDMXC A.D. such a groovy sensation. --Matthew Cooke Amazon.com: Enigma Photos

 Rating:  - HmmmmmMy only real "un-favorite" Enigma album. Good for relaxation, but it seemed to me this was just a "well, we need to put out an album" sort of thing. I have mixed feelings about this album. It's the only one I don't listen to frequently, but it is Enigma. Rating:  - Disappointed.I understand musicians want to break out of molds and try new sounds. With Enigma's other newer cds, it took me awhile to warm up to them but then I did and I love them now. Even though they tried new sounds, they still had those little Enigma signature marks within some of the music. This one I'm finding hard to warm up to. Maybe eventually I will but I'm not feeling it at all. They're going way, way off from any kind of sound that made Enigma, Enigma and it's really turning me ...

This CD is quite bad because Michael Cretu sings on about 80% of the tracks, and singing is not his forte. With track #5 the text is "my heart goes boom boom boom, every time I think of you". Is he trying to be a teenage popstar? He is around 40-50 years old by now. I do not recommend this CD. Rating:  - One of the best...I owned all of the previous Enigma CDs and have been a big fan since the beginning. I almost didn't buy this one based on the mixed reviews here at Amazon. I'm glad I decided to give it a change though. While Enigma's music has evolved, the haunting beats, the transcendental nature of their music and the emotions it evokes remains constant. This albums fits nicely into my collection being different enough to justify another purchase of Enigma, but not so different that it loses that ...
