Among the many artists that helped inject a pan-global flavor into American pop music is Enigma (aka Michael Crétu), a German artist who brought the sound of chanting Gregorian monks to the charts with "Sadeness (Part I)," a breakout smash from Enigma's 1990 debut MCMXC A.D. The collection LSD: Love, Sensuality and Devotion rounds out the rest of the '90s for Enigma with plenty of undulating rhythms and world music hybrids. Dance beats are strung throughout this compilation and pop up on everything from the high-flying ambiance of "T.N.T. for the Brain" to the industrial clang of "Push the Limits" and the chugging "Modern Crusaders." One of Enigma's charms is the way the most unlikely elements find their way into the songs. A murmuring children's choir lightly breaks through the Asian-flavored "Cross of Changes," the chant from a South American Indian gives the swirling "Return to Innocence" its distinctive character, and the whispered French and uttering of the title by Crétu's wife Sandra lends "Mea Culpa" a sensual edge. LSD: Love, Sensuality and Devotion turns out to be a great drug for both the mind and the soul.
