Seven Lives Many Faces is the title of the musical project Enigma's seventh studio album, released on September 19, 2008 internationally and September 30, 2008 in North America. Michael Cretu has stated that the new album will feature an "omnicultural" sound unlike anything on previous releases. On September 12th, the album was released on Enigma's MySpace account. After enjoying a huge success on MySpace, several international MTV and VH1 websites started streaming the album until September 22.
Enigma is an electronic musical project founded by Michael Cretu, David Fairstein and Frank Peterson in 1990. Cretu is both the composer and the producer; his former wife Sandra often provided vocals on Enigma tracks. Jens Gad co-produced and played guitar on three of the Enigma albums.
Six studio albums have been produced under the name of the project. Their first and most successful album, MCMXC a.D., sold over sixteen million copies.
Enigma was among the first recording groups to use a digial audio workstation as a recording studio and to include non-percussion musical instrument and vocal samples, such as the Shakuhachi flute and Gregorian monk chants samples.
