Enigma was a
musical experiment created by
Michael Cretu. He took a lot of
samples from various sources, mixing them into a very
ethereal sound with some very nice
beats.
Extremely popular over in Europe, and pretty popular here, though it doesn't get much airtime. The first album, MCMXC A.D. was on the Billboard charts for about 4 years.
It can be classified (though not well) as somewhere between ambient music and new age.
