i just got the 12" of this track. uh, i think i might be in love with this song.

i love this shit mostly due to its presence on my favorite CD ever, "pure moods"

I always liked this song but haven't heard it since about 5 years ago when my witchy ex-gf would play it, but then I never go to new age craft stores, incense booths, cosmetic accessory sections of department stores, or professional massage parlors.
― marmotwolof, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 07:17 (sixteen years ago) link
....I just spent ten minutes thinking to myself "yeah this song's ok but I like their other one better".
Only to do a last.fm check and realise I'm thinking of "Sweet Lullaby" by Deep Forest. Oh well!
― Trayce, Tuesday, 26 June 2007 07:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Cretu's 80s solo output is a lot better though. "The Invisible Man" is a great underrated album.

There's a very great chance I lost my virginity while the first Enigma album was playing (it was either that or Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction). I'm not proud of this, by the way.

wow!!! this's a pretty monster thread! i associate Engima's Sadness Pt 1 w/ my own father's 'mid-life crisis', so no positive ideas from it. in fact, it completely inspired me to hate 'new age' anything.
― edde, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 20:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Is a wondstrous thread alright. Uncannily illuminating. Like, I didn't even suspect there is a Cretu solo album called "The Invisible Man". And yet I, or perhaps just my innersad I, somewhow expected Geir to post that kind of post that he indeed did post there somewhere upthread.

i do like the album this song is on, it played a key role in my de2velopment into whatever it is i have become

Yeah, I was gonna say, pretty sure I haven't heard this in at least 10 or 12 years.

this song rules if for no other reason than it inspired this thread.
I was seriously waiting for graphic descriptions of hot sapphic love action by the end of Susan Douglas's post.
Her post is yet another reason why I need to get out of America.

did anybody else ever feel like "stretched on your grave" by sinead o'connor was a thorough rip of enigma's style? they should have toured together.
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 11:01 (sixteen years ago) link
OK, so I heard a later Enigma track recently, "Gravity of Love", and I likes it. Yeah yeah When The Levee Breaks break used again and again and all that, but still. Sorry Dan for sleepin' on the rest of Enigma... or at least that song.

"Sadeness" and "Sour Times" are somewhere on infinite loop forever. In some coffeehouse. Somewhere.

oh god! the sexual connection to this album seems disturbingly pervasive/universal. i had already heard it a couple of times in america but it seemed so cheesy i didn't really pay attention. the first time i really noticed it was my sophomore year in college-I was in Germany over the summer supposedly to study the language/culture at the Goerthe Institute. But I had come down with a massive head cold/infection the moment i landed and since I couldn't get drugs all i wanted to do smoke all day and get/stay drunk. Unfortunately nearly everyone was a pollyanna type and just wanted to go to class and then talk in German afterwards. grrr! (plus a couple of guys from Tunisia who wanted to spread islam and rape people??). I finally found Tatiana and (i can't remember the other girls name) - two really pretty Italian slacker students there to espace their families pretty much and "be on their own AS WOMEN" - whick i assumed meant party. Tatiana was all feminine and contemplative and breathy like all the time. It was like hangin out with Sophia Loren. And she was incredibly tall. I was like the snot-nosed dwarf who held her purse. One night I went to pick up Tatiana from her room so we could go out, just to find her lying there languidly on the bed - with that chanting and "Sah Dit Moi" going on in the background. I was like come ON TAtiana aren't you ready? "ohh Susanna i feel so sad all day and have masterbate mabye 10 time. i don't want do anthing only masturbate. do you understand?" then long breathy sigh -- anyway, it was actually mildly disturbing but moreover i had nothing to say to that so we just sat there listening to the feverish chanting and "sah dit moi" for like an eternity. and that song seems way less cheesy to me now! -- Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Saturday, July 9, 2005 4:10 PM (2 years ago) Bookmark Link
