Enigma's fourth album The Screen Behind the Mirror continues Michael Cretu's explorations into ambient new

age, Gregorian chant, world music, and dance rhythms. Cretu's vocals play a more prominent role than on

earlier Enigma albums, which, unfortunately, often detracts from the songs' other diverse elements -- which

include church bells, Middle Eastern and European choirs, sensuous female vocals, and a wide array of

ethnic percussion and instruments. The album's pieces are mixed together continuously and are united

thematically by samples and reinterpretations of Orff's "O Fortuna" and other material from Carmina Burana,

giving songs like "Endless Quest," "The Gate," and "Smell of Desire" a flowing, cohesive feel. Though it

doesn't reveal significant growth or change in Enigma's work, The Screen Behind the Mirror will please fans

of the group's other atmospheric works.
