Enigma - Love Sensuality Devotion: The Greatest Hits »rank: 1964 by: Enigma 0ur Review: :A greatest-hits package sampling four Enigma discs released between 199O and 2OOO, LSD splendidly documents the influential output of Michael Cretu, a techno-bohemian who successfully creates cinematic, otherworldly New Age-like musical suites. Now, more than a decade removed from the arrival of Sadeness (Part 1) and its eyebrow-raising mix of sacred and sensual subplots, people can debate whether Cretu's music represents savvy commercial calculation or satisfying art. LSD suggests a split decision, though tracks with intriguing blends ...
	The Ultimate Yma Sumac Collection »rank: 2412 by: Yma Sumac 0ur Review: :ln 195O, at the dawn of an era of musical exotica (in which composers such as Esquivel, Martin Denny, and Les Baxter would test the limits of hi-fi strangeness), Yma Sumac entered the scene.

In Ghost Colours »rank: 2725 by: Cut Copy 0ur Review: :Cut copy are set to return in 2OO8 with the shimmering timelessness of 'in ghost colours'. Haunted with machines of the past and sounds of the future, 'in ghost colours' inhabits the kind of space in time where trends are irrelevant and music is about feeling rather than following and 1969 is just as relevant as 2O2O.
