This album pushed Enigma into a more aggressive, theatrical direction by heavily sampling Carl Orff's classical masterpiece Carmina Burana . The record features recurring rhythmic themes that create a highly cohesive, dramatic listening experience. "Gravity of Love," "Push the Limits." 5. Voyageur (2003)
After an eight-year hiatus between studio albums, Enigma returned with its eighth and most recent album, The Fall of a Rebel Angel , released on November 11, 2016. This is a full-fledged concept album, telling a surreal narrative based on an epic poem written specifically for the project by acclaimed lyricist Michael Kunze. The music marked a conscious effort by Cretu to recapture the mystical and atmospheric essence of classic Enigma, with the lead single being a direct sequel to the project's first-ever hit, "Sadeness (Part II)". The artwork was also unique, designed by the famous (and controversial) German artist Wolfgang Beltracchi, cementing this album as a major artistic statement.

The backbone of any Enigma mega collection consists of the eight core studio albums. Each album represents a specific chapter or "concept" in Michael Cretu’s overarching musical narrative. 1. MCMXC a.D. (1990)
Shifting away from the heavy medieval religious themes of the debut, Enigma’s sophomore effort embraced global fusion. Cretu incorporated Native American chants, traditional Taiwanese folk singing, and rock-infused guitar samples (including riffs from Genesis and Led Zeppelin).
