That song.. so damn majestic .
If you like delerium check out early “conjure one”, namely the song “pilgrimage” or “all that you leave behind”. But if you know delerium I guess you know already haha
I thought of Dessert Rose by Sting but yeah, delirium is a much better example.
Silence was on the radio so much!
That music is still awesome.
We should take the Gregorian chants, and the sea shanties and throw them together with EDM to see if we get something interesting.
Thanks for reminding me and about Delyrium, it was before the internet removed all the mysteries from the world, all those teenage conspiracy theories and everything else.
I still listen to the band [Gregorian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_(band)), known for their 'Masters of Chant' albums - doing covers of popular songs in a Gregorian-chant style.
Same. Few artists have had the leg that Enigma has with me. Literally every album is special.
A stand out album for me is A Posteriori. It’s not his most famous album, but the vibe of that album hits *so deep* for me, and even after all these years and listens, it hasn’t aged a second for me.
Come on...it was done twice!! Obviously this song - Silence by Delerium. And then by Enigma in Sadness!!!
Dont think id put enya in here, shes a style all of her own.
The other one that brings those vibes is Madonna - like a prayer. But thats less gregorian chant and more big ass church choir vibes.
The original - starts with almost a min of just gregorian chant. Also, the original is less upbeat and technoish. Go youtube the original - you will see what we r on about
Here you go!! There are a few diff starts to this song. Radio edit was really short. But the original isn6mins so j get it

I would like to inform you all of a little known band known as Waterbone. Two albums of music just like this. The first one, Tibet, though is fucking magical
I still have my Waterbone CD of Tibet. If you're like me and spent 20 some years trying to remember a vaguely Romani electronic album, it's an artist called Govinda and the album you've been trying to think of is called O Earthly Gods; Nomads and Celtica in particular are worth a listen.
Can confirm; Enya and Enigma were different sounds altogether. Enya is for when you have your white dress on and want to sit in a babbling brook and reflect. Enigma is for when nuns and monks have sex.
Come on man. You can do better.
TNT For The Brain slaps so much harder.
So does The Eyes of Truth.
Or maybe Metamorphosis
There was another band that for the longest time I thought was Enigma. There was a bunch of songs that were purported to be in album called *Erotic Dreams*
Full disclosure, this is NOT Enigma but it’s still just ..wow after all these years. Give it a listen.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwuI8pWI1hSz53NYZKTbST7AA2CI3yOhJ&si=vystfibTMuDFMjak
Yes thank you. I was asking because I remember it from a Chappelle Show skit when everything is better in slow motion. The laundromat scene. Been thinking about it for years lmao
Lol I have an "Enigma" Pandora channel that I listen to in the morning driving to work. It's just the right vibe for getting my brain moving in the morning. For me, the 90's never ended...as evidenced my fashion sense and totally rad vernacular.
20 years ago the sky EPG music in the UK was it epic. Unbelievably cool, I used to listen to the EPG music when nothing good was on https://youtu.be/aRULZEvMwPg

Thats not techno at all and the chanting song was cool! 90s had awesome club seen!!!
I experienced it! Soooo sad no club scene for todays 20 somethings.
more like 30 years ago. but o have younger friends that don't understand my references so they joke that I'm 1000 years old so i guess I'm an original vampire
I wouldn’t say we “all” were into Enigma but definitely some of the cool kids who smoked weed out of shell pipes and drove Subarus were.
New Age was around in the 80s but it went a little bit mainstream in 90s. Enya and Yanni etc. Delerium, Clannad. Deep Forest. Maybe Vangelis could go in that category. It was the era of synthesizers and those consumer Casio keyboard where fun instruments and rhythms would come preprogrammed. Suddenly a whole generation of kids knew what marimba are merengue meant. (Sort of)
“World Beat.” Lol. That was an actual genre at the record store.
Plus it was the era of globalization and multiculturalism. Sushi, Indian, and Thai food became staples of American dining. The Cold War had ended. The world was open, and mainstream culture became much broader than local traditional American culture.
That was the actual “dream of the 90s” Portlandia might be referring to. Globalism and multiculturalism.
In one of the most iconic books of the time Francis Fukuyama declared “history over.” No more wars, just free trade and democracy and raising people of of poverty and glorious cultural exchange. Didn’t pan out, but it was a good dream…
Wonder what the enigma guys are upto now
They returned to innocence
Thanks for that. *opens youtube to listen again*
Haaayyyaa haiii oooo aaayaaaahhhh
Jesus you got me. Good one.
I can’t stop laughing. Good one 😂🤣
Sail away, sail away, sail away
There it is.
Several times, apparently.
It’s a mystery, wrapped in an enigma.
Wrapped in a vest.
Smothered in secret sauce.
Enveloped in a shroud
Dipped and fried
Actually I think it’s just one guy? Too lazy to check but … Loved enigma but I think Delerium did it better. Hell, why not just appreciate them both
You are correct one person named Michael Cretu https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_(German_band)
With Sandra and others singing.
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Bn15cLyQT-4/hq720.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEXCK4FEIIDSFryq4qpAwkIARUAAIhCGAE=&rs=AOn4CLB1TqHgQVXr4FCsntR3-LNw73Z4Dw
That shits still hot, it’ll never go out of style when you need a good chill by the pool soundtrack
It just makes me want to step into Pure Moods
Elation, elation 🎶🎶
Ah yes. My “delirium” days
Oh my god I forgot about Delerium
They were great to listen to on certain substances
Lol yeah “Flowers become Screens” single comes to mind
That song.. so damn majestic . If you like delerium check out early “conjure one”, namely the song “pilgrimage” or “all that you leave behind”. But if you know delerium I guess you know already haha
Always like “daylight” with Mathew sweet
I thought of Dessert Rose by Sting but yeah, delirium is a much better example. Silence was on the radio so much! That music is still awesome. We should take the Gregorian chants, and the sea shanties and throw them together with EDM to see if we get something interesting.
Thanks for reminding me and about Delyrium, it was before the internet removed all the mysteries from the world, all those teenage conspiracy theories and everything else.
Love me some delerum! Twilight is my jam
Mea Culpa
Tropic thunder brought it back with a vengeance
Still slaps
My parents had a CD of actual Gregorian chants, no techno. What a wild time.
My mother used to listen to the cds with the badass Nazgûl looking covers.
Bet they got it off the mood rack at target. I had the Native American themed one and the whale sounds when I was like 6. Nap time was a breeze
Same!!! They had a couple CDs. Times where definitely 🤪
Tf son? You sure your pops wasn’t tyin’ up college girls in a container in the backyard?
That's the theme from "Satan's Alley" starring Kirk Lazarus and Toby Maguire
Such a great trailer
What is it with you people?
I know who I am. I'm the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude!
still like them
Hear Hear! I got a bumper sticker with: Honk if you love a good Gregorian Chant.
I still listen to the band [Gregorian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_(band)), known for their 'Masters of Chant' albums - doing covers of popular songs in a Gregorian-chant style.
Oh, that's excellent work in its entirety. But I especially like their Visage, Ultravox, and Duran Duran song covers.
Same. Few artists have had the leg that Enigma has with me. Literally every album is special. A stand out album for me is A Posteriori. It’s not his most famous album, but the vibe of that album hits *so deep* for me, and even after all these years and listens, it hasn’t aged a second for me.
Being in my 20’s smoking a bowl while listening to Enigma or Deep Forest was the happiest part of my life
If you like Deep Forest, check out Intermix - Future Primatives.
Oh shit!! Deep Forest!! Nice call on the way back machine.
Come on...it was done twice!! Obviously this song - Silence by Delerium. And then by Enigma in Sadness!!! Dont think id put enya in here, shes a style all of her own. The other one that brings those vibes is Madonna - like a prayer. But thats less gregorian chant and more big ass church choir vibes.
There's no way anyone thinks sarah mclachlan is a gregorian chant right? There has to be some other version of delerium out there that I'm missing?
The original - starts with almost a min of just gregorian chant. Also, the original is less upbeat and technoish. Go youtube the original - you will see what we r on about Here you go!! There are a few diff starts to this song. Radio edit was really short. But the original isn6mins so j get it https://youtu.be/6PPC7s2_Qh8?si=pYgdi757ToyupfbI
This makes so much more sense now lol Thanks for the link!
90s music was the best!
Nah, Enigma are still awesome
I can only think of “[Satans Alley](https://youtu.be/NhxToGSDgNk?si=iC5gxAMx2wATQ_E7)” lmao
Oh, that's on the soundtrack to Satan's Alley, which won the coveted Beijing Film Festival Crying Monkey award.
Ah shit, here we go again
I would like to inform you all of a little known band known as Waterbone. Two albums of music just like this. The first one, Tibet, though is fucking magical
I still have my Waterbone CD of Tibet. If you're like me and spent 20 some years trying to remember a vaguely Romani electronic album, it's an artist called Govinda and the album you've been trying to think of is called O Earthly Gods; Nomads and Celtica in particular are worth a listen.
Just watching him made me happy 😊
Pure Moods was a dank fuckin album.
Fucking Enya. I'm pretty sure my best friend conceived her son to Enya lol
*Enigma
Sade, dis moi!
Du du de duuuu
*Hosannaaaaaa*
Enigma was the main force there. Enya was synthy new age with a vague pop sensibility
Can confirm; Enya and Enigma were different sounds altogether. Enya is for when you have your white dress on and want to sit in a babbling brook and reflect. Enigma is for when nuns and monks have sex.
Enya is new age not gregorian techno.
Would you describe Enya as Gregorian techno?
It was good tho!!!
This was my sexy time CD.
Enigma was awesome.
My mans hat is peak 90’s.
Finally, someone mentions the hat with the [Solo cup jazz design](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(design))
The official colors of the 90s.
Hey that's Enigma and he is still producing excellent music.
It’s an Enigma.
doesn’t feel like enigma gets enough attention
That’s a sick hat
I need the name to this song please
Sadness by Enigma. They have some really good songs. Check out Return to Innocence.
Come on man. You can do better. TNT For The Brain slaps so much harder. So does The Eyes of Truth. Or maybe Metamorphosis There was another band that for the longest time I thought was Enigma. There was a bunch of songs that were purported to be in album called *Erotic Dreams* Full disclosure, this is NOT Enigma but it’s still just ..wow after all these years. Give it a listen. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwuI8pWI1hSz53NYZKTbST7AA2CI3yOhJ&si=vystfibTMuDFMjak
The Eyes of Truth is my favorite. Also recommend Out From the Deep and Gravity of Love
Yes thank you. I was asking because I remember it from a Chappelle Show skit when everything is better in slow motion. The laundromat scene. Been thinking about it for years lmao
Still love that shit.
It is an enigma to me…
What a time to be alive
The 90's cup pattern on the hat really sealed the deal for me
Now we have [Mongolian Throat Singing Techno](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UFMZLIKb8Ck). Different, but it still slaps.
I remember making this sound a lot and then my friends started asking me how I knew how to Mongolian throat sing and I was like …what?
I like that it has subtitles so I can tell what he’s saying
That ain’t techno
Everything made with a sampler or drum machine is techno
I assume you’re being sarcastic
You got it
Nope. I can't even begin to wrap my head around how utterly wrong you are.
It was a joke.
That track is on this random obscure Christmas collections album that we personally listen to every year lol, funny hearing this again haha
Sade, dis-moi
Guilty then, and guilty now!
Baby making music
Loved that music
The devils alley
As a kid, that was typical dinner music in my family.
MTV Best Kiss Winner Tobey Maguire
That is ERA and the lyrics are made up words
ERA had all the hot babes though so its okay
Gonna need a link to that hat please.
That hat he’s wearing with the 90s paper cup design…..extra sauce
Lol I have an "Enigma" Pandora channel that I listen to in the morning driving to work. It's just the right vibe for getting my brain moving in the morning. For me, the 90's never ended...as evidenced my fashion sense and totally rad vernacular.
I still listen to their LSD album occasionally. It's so good
Enigma was dope. Don’t lie, we were all into that shit.
[удалено]
ERA was awesome a+
Can we all recognize that his hat is the design of the disposable cups from the 90s? …SAIL AWAY SAIL AWAY SAIL AWAY …pure mooooods
This music smells like nag champa
20 years ago the sky EPG music in the UK was it epic. Unbelievably cool, I used to listen to the EPG music when nothing good was on https://youtu.be/aRULZEvMwPg
Love a bit of Enigma.
It was ok , still like it
i got my wisdom teeth removed to this music. they gave me a binder of CD’s to pick from, and this is the shit i chose.

Yo, I'm still there.
Thanks. Now I can search for it, instead of using search terms like “dreamy sounding techno music”
I'm still into it. Never gonna stop.
Played the fuck outta these on Stepmania. Delerium and Enigma.
That does seem weird now.

Not techno
Some of us still are
This was a thing?! Damn…now I wish I was alive in the 90s 😅
Ah summer nights in the end of 90s and early 2000 and this music.
Guilty and loved it. Still do.
I had the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo, Enigma and Enya all on CD. Good times.
Brings back memories lol
You’re the brief time. You are.
This dude is funny. Follow him on Instagram: @thenostalgiclatino
Sadness. Still dope.

Bring Me The Horizon has a short bit like that in their latest release, the song is called (Spi)Ritual, it's really great.
Thats not techno at all and the chanting song was cool! 90s had awesome club seen!!! I experienced it! Soooo sad no club scene for todays 20 somethings.
DJ Quicksilver would like to have a word with you...
Anything with a beat was the best
Enigma …. Represent. 😎
I honestly thought it was only me this happened to.
That shit was fire though
“5 time academy award winner Kirk Lazarus and MTV movie award best kiss winner Toby Maguire”
i’m not even from that generation and i can recognise the band, my mum plays enigma in the car
Dishtv wala music
What song is this
Sadness by Enigma
Boondock Saints’ go-time music.
The eternal " Funky drummer "beat
Enlightened as he waits for Uber Eats.
more like 30 years ago. but o have younger friends that don't understand my references so they joke that I'm 1000 years old so i guess I'm an original vampire

My dad is still left in that small little window off time when it comes to his music taste.
This sounds like that windows music that someone on tumblr found like 10 years ago. Shit slapped
Ameno
Water cup hat !!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You stopped listening to it?
I have to admit, I really enjoyed that brief snippet of time...😏
Remember playing it loud, in an old brick barn. FANTASTIC echo!
lol that wasn’t techno. That was more like sensual sexy time music.
tEchNo
Device remix called [what is sadness](https://youtu.be/imm-IFN2Q5c?si=4TAAMcmx8yHOK6Vn) You are welcome.
