Answer: Sarah Brightman

While Jens Gad (guitarist and co-producer), Andru Donalds (vocals), and Ruth Ann Boyle (vocals) have all lent their superb talents to various past Enigma albums, Sarah Brightman, although her lovely voice would be most fitting addition to Enigma's sensuous music, has yet to appear on an Enigma album.

5. Who introduces herself as "The Voice Of Enigma" at the very beginning of MCMXC a.d.?

Answer: Louisa Stanley

"The Voice Of Enigma" begins with an echoed horn, which will become one of the trademark instruments. Another trademark Enigma instrument present in this track is the "falling-star" effect. This is not a full song, but rather an opening to the album, in which Louisa Stanley's soft voice instructs the listener to relax and prepare for a journey into a different world.

Answer: wisdom

This quote is found within the song "Gravity Of Love" from the "Screen Behind The Mirror" album, and was originally composed by poet William Blake.

Frank Peterson collaborated with Michael Cretu to create one of the most innovative and provocative songs ever recorded, "Sadeness", which topped the charts worldwide. However, Peterson left Enigma soon afterwards to form his own project, Gregorian, which performs covers of popular songs with Gregorian Chant. Frank is also a close acquaintance of diva, Sarah Brightman.

8. Which of these songs has NOT been released as a single?

Answer: Silent Warrior

"Silent Warrior", found on Enigma's excellent second album, "Cross Of Changes" was never released as a single although it was most worthy.

Answer: Light Of Your Smile

"Light Of Your Smile", a most enchanting Enigma instrumental, can be found on the "Beyond The Invisible" maxi single, but mysteriously is not included on any Enigma full length album.
