4.0 out of 5 stars I want more, April 28, 2006

I had low expectations for this single, but I was very surprised. Having a very complete collection of Enigma's singles, I'd put this near the top. Although simple in it's
architecture, it leaves you breathlessly awaiting the full album
promised by year's end. Those that disapprove of this new material are probably only familiar with Cretu's work as Enigma, but he's been around many years before that entity and he has always had a unique sound. His releases starting with
Voyageur (IMO) are returning to his earlier sound; frankly I love the path he's taking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much noise, April 4, 2006

It's Enigma... but different. This is more like a pop/techno set than his other stuff. There's a lot of tinny, flaky background noise. There are some places where the noise is used as an instrument to play bars of the song or a pattern, but otherwise it just makes me wonder if I've blown a speaker. 3 stars because Enigma totally rules and there are some good sections of music amongst the noise.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hello & Welcome: A decent single release, November 29, 2006

This single release was pre 'A Posteriori'. This was supposed to be a teaser trailer to the album released at the end of 2005. There are 3 tracks, 1. Radio Edit of 'Hello & Welcome' which was not used on the actual album. The radio edit was in my opinion the better version of the song as it opens with the old Enigma church organs we all know and love. The 2 remixes of the song 'Thunderstorm Mix' which was the strongest and potent remix and then the 'After the Storm' mix.

This enhanced release comes with a bonus video clip that can be run by any CD-ROM, DVD Plyer. It is a video that could have had more in it. Hence only 4 stars. This single release is only for Enigma or Cretu music collectors or die hard Enigma fans who love the new feel that Enigma is undergoing.
