Notes

Recorded and mastered at A.R.T. Studios, Ibiza/Spain.

Track 1 ("The Gate") features a narration of the physical properties of the Earth that bears a strong resemblance to a track by Vangelis called "Albedo 0.39", released on an album of the same name in 1976.

Review by ledjfab Jan 05, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

Announced to be "very different" from the precedent Enigma releases, the fourth album of Enigma was nothing like it. Right from the beginning, Michael Cretu fall in the deepest clichés by sampling "Carmina Burana" (Carl Orff), which is probably the most used/sampled classical piece of the 90's. Add Sandra Cretu's vocals for "Sadeness" (1991), re-used on many tracks; the same "sensual" beats on every song and you easily feel that "Déjà Vu" is a good term to describe "The Screen Behind The Mirror". 1/5
