The Star
I HAVE often railed at the fact that music has become more about the visuals than the song itself. Yet, in hypocritical fashion, I'm going to tell you about a group responsible for one of the greatest music videos I've ever seen. The video in question is Return to Innocence, and the group, if indeed I can call it that, is Enigma.
Remember Enigma? It burst onto the scene with a sensuous mix of chanting monks, whispered female vocals and irresistible but laid-back dance rhythms. (11/05)
