Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Seven Lives Many Faces is Enigma's seventh album. This album expands the sound catalogue of previous releases and it is expected to lead to a new Omni-Cultural wave. The lead single "Seven Lives" is a powerful fusion of modern and classical elements. Enigma is an Electronic musical project founded by Michael Cretu, David Fairstein and Frank Peterson in 1990. Cretu is both the composer and the producer; his former wife Sandra often provided vocals on Enigma tracks. Jens Gad co-produced and played guitar on three of the Enigma albums.17 tracks.

Nothing will ever top 'le roi est mort vive le roi' but this is a great enigma album. I found myself getting engrossed in the songs right away and really enjoying them. It's definately more solid and grounded than some previous albums.

Seven Lives Many Faces by Enigma is an excellent CD/album. I have been a long time fan of Enigma even with all of the surrounding controversies, I still very much listen to their music. Seven Lives is one of Cretu's best since Enigma 2. The music is sophisticated, unique, sometimes a floaty escape. I did not care very much of Cretu's last work as it was too disco. With Seven Lives he goes back to his roots of creating subtle textured music with a beat. I didn't see anything that was extremely controversial or dark with this CD although the six pointed star on the cover may spur something but as far as the music is concerned it was done masterfully.
The tunes that I really like was Touchiness an enticing sexy song, The Same Parents a moralizing melody, Fata Morgana an excellent instrumental, and Hells Heaven also. Nice work Cretu and the Enigma crew.

this album is a major step up for micheal but more importantly its a big improvemnt from the previous disc. it really feels like the 90s enigma (i even heard the monks voices on one song, but forget witch one at the moment). heck, whatever micheal is doing now, its reviving my faith in the group. a posteriori was way to techno sounding, everything was the same old beat and instrument. but this, all songs take u to a different adventure. i like the tittle track, la puerta de celio, till my dying day, deja vu, superficial, we are nature, downtown silence. also some parts of between generations. if u wanna relive the glorious 90s enigma days, this is a good place to start.

When Enigma first released their first album, I was one of the few who couldn't stand it. But then, my only exposure to their sound was "Sadeness," a piece I still don't care for.
It was only this past year that I happened to hear a track from their second album, "Return to Innocence," and was blown away. I immediately picked up all six of their studio albums and couldn't believe I'd missed out on all this fabulous stuff over the years.
I eagerly snatched up SEVEN LIVES upon its release and... yeah. Disappointed. The thing this album lacks is the presence of powerhouse tracks like the aforementioned "Return to Innocence," "The Child in Us," "Gravity of Love," and so on. While there are some pleasant pieces, here, it's just unimpressive, by Enigma standards.
I will not go so far, as others have, to say "save your money." I don't regret buying it. But it's never going to be among my favorites.

I don't agree with some of the reviews here. I think the "screaming guy" on Seven Lives is absolutely awesome! I am glad they mixed it up a little bit. That song especially is the best one on the album. I love the whole album and I'm glad they don't keep trying to do the same thing over and over again. Love, Sensuality and Devotion is still the best album ever but this is close.
