5.0 out of 5 stars Great German Album from Creator of Enigma, November 30, 2003

Sandra's Vocals are not the Greatest. In fact one might say they are Bad and Annoying at times, and too High-Pitched. But on the other hand that's what makes her Unique. But after as many listens to this album as I've had, you will get used to them.

But back to this Album from 1988. IT'S SIMPLY GREAT. In the Vocal Sense, Sandra is weaker than Madonna, BUT in the Quality of Songs/Songwriting and Arrangements she is Sooooooo Much Better. This album Does not have a Single Bad Song. You can Listen to it from First to Last track, and Fully Enjoy Everything in Between.

All Songs on this album are Very Catchy, and the Album was Produced by Michael Cretu, the Creator of Enigma, and also Sandra's husband.

Songs here Truly Take you into a Magical "Secret Land", and make you forget all your problems. Especially a song like "Vista De Luna" that puts me right on the Tropical Paradise Beach. It's similar to Madonna's "La Isla Bonita".

Most songs here are Dance oriented with rich Synthesizers, But there are two Very Beautiful Slower Ballads: "Just Like Diamonds" and "Children of England", and Both are GREAT.

BTW The Chorus on "We'll Be Together" Sends Shivers down my spine every time I listen to it.

Bottom Line is: This is an AMAZING Album, where all Songs are Potential hits, and you will probably Grow to LOVE them and will listen to them (and maybe even sing) a lot.

Make Sure to Check out Sandra's Other Albums, she has about 10.

Thank You

5.0 out of 5 stars Secret Land is entrancing, May 16, 1999

This review is from: Into A Secret Land (Audio CD)

Besides her accent, it is an enigma why she never entered the American mainstream. Her voice is beautiful although it does carry an accent from her German and French upbringing. With her husband and producer Micheal Cretu (who also sings in her albums), they produce a combination late 80s with a very slight hint of electronica thrown in. Secret Land is an absoulte gem...grab her cds where ever you can find them(and trust me they are hard to find)
