About Me |
|
| After Enigma is a site dedicated to helping fans of Enigma and similar artists find new music, and to that end, defining the "Nu Ambient" genre (it's a fusion of New Age and Downtempo Electronica, frequently with some international flavor). Predominantly, After Enigma is a source of album reviews, which can be found at the main After Enigma site (follow the "Band Website" link to the left). MySpace blogs and bulletins are used to anounce updates, but the actual reviews are all at www.afterenigma.com - if you love the music of Enigma, Delerium, Deep Forest and the like, please have a look and let me know what you think! The songs playing on this page are used with the explicit permission of the artists - special thanks to: *Jay of Black Ether - "Ascension" is from the album "Tendrils of a Memory", copyright 2006 PVM Records *Bob of Mythos - "Purity" is from the album "Purity", copyright 2006 Adagio/Pacific *Øystein of Amethystium - "Shadow to Light" is from the album "Aphelion", copyright 2003 Neurodisc Records *Justin of Sleepthief - "You Did a Good Thing" is from the album "The Dawnseeker", copyright 2006 and owned by Echotone Records, LLC |
