Well, I gather it's to do with the Marquis de Sade, but since I didn't know what the monks were saying in Latin until I saw this video with lyrics just before I posted it (I could make out the French parts, though), I can't really tell you "what it's about" either... I just like the chanting mixed with the Japanese flutes and the dance beat.
This was cutting edge in the very early 90s, I remember when I heard it for the first time it blew the hat off my house! Nowadays we hear a lot of synthesized stuff, but I still think Enigma do quality music that is....
Mostly good, parts not so good. We need one for "happiness".
ReplyDeleteOk, next post... :)
ReplyDeleteI don't really understand this video - music and chanting is nice, but the lyrics are confusing.
