Rating: Summary: Very truthful and rich choreography Review: I said in the title
Rating: Summary: Excellent visuals to match excellent music :-) Review: I was living in Europe when Enigma's first album was released, so I have been a fan from the group's beginning. "Remember the Future" only strengthens my interest in the group and enjoyment of its great music. Especially when seen in order at once, the videos presented are truly amazing, although the same visual effects are used repeatedly throughout. The reason this is rated so low is the audio. The DVD cover states that Dolby Stereo was used in the recording of the DVD, but the high-end sound distortions are horrible, and the voiceover in the Facts section is often very difficult to understand due to the nasty audio. Those who can set this aside in the music videos, however, will truly enjoy the experience that is Enigma.

Rating: Summary: interesting music, not so interesting videos Review: I was quite disappointed by this. I wish I had read the reviews more carefully, because someone previously mentioned the lack of a surround mix. Since the visuals aren't particularly interesting, and there are no "extras" on the disc to speak of, there's not much reason to own this if you already have the music on cd. I don't understand why so many dvd music video compilations are done poorly like this. Clearly there is room on a single dvd disc to provide both a stereo and a surround mix along with the visual content. Sony was able to include 5.1 mixes on their Sade and Cyndi Lauper dvd's, both quite well done. Neither of those videos costs more than this Enigma dvd (or numerous other music dvd's lacking surround mixes). At least this isn't falsely marketed as containing a surround mix, like the Eurythmics dvd.
Rating: Summary: Excellent visual supplement to the music Review: I've been a big fan of Enigma since the first inception back in 1990. You may also find Michael Cretu's earlier music good too - see Invisible Man, good CD even if sounds a bit 80s. One must love the quality of DVD and this DVD does the music videos great justice. Some of the first videos are a bit cheesy and have bad special effects, but the later videos are excellent. The videos are good representations of the music; they seem to be an accurate depiction of the music visually. I highly recommend this for fans of Enigma that have all of his CDs and would like to have the videos too.
Rating: Summary: MAGICAL DVD Review: It's about time someone collected all the Enigma videos and put them out on DVD. I have a VHS copy of The Videos/Part I which contains Mea Culpa (Part II) and Sadeness (Part I) (also on the MTV Party To Go/Vol. 2 DVD). I've never seen the rest but have been looking for them for quite some time now. A magical DVD full of vivid imagery to go along with the enchanting music. I'm glad I've added it to my collection. It would have earned a 5th star if the menu were easier to navigate.
Rating: Summary: Mesmerizing Review: It's been about ten years since I walked into a music store and heard something totally different being played in the store. I asked the clerk what was that incredible music they were playing. He said it was "Enigma." Now, ten years later, I am still just as much in love with Enigma as I was when I first heard that incredible music. Finally, with "Enigma - Remember The Future" I can see visual interpretations of the music. The videos are beautiful, spell binding, and mesmerizing. This DVD is TRULY a must-have for any fan of Enigma. And for those that have not yet experienced Enigma, you will more than likely be drawn into the Enigma mystique as I was ten years ago.
Rating: Summary: A revolution .. An evolution .. Review: Michael Cretu ... Enigma A genius who created a language that communicates with the soul and casts a spell of roaring serenity upon the listener. Enigma is for those who can understand its beauty, and vividly comprehend its subliminal messages.
Rating: Summary: Big Disapointment Review: The videos are [weak]. The videos don't provide any mystery. For instance in one video you see a drum being hit when in the music there is a drum sound. They even show people lip syncing. Where's the mysterious story or visuals? Where's the creative camera work? Enigma's music is rich with many layers but you don't get that with the videos. Get the Moby DVD. Moby's Mega Mix is magnitudes better that this DVD.
Rating: Summary: Visuals, as well as Audio, are Great Review: The videos were well choreographed for their time. The audio is as good as the original albums since that's where the music originated. I have state of the art audio equipment with a digital fiber optic audio cord and I hear no popping or static. My Infinity speakers are so clear they play detailed static when it exists. There is no static on this DVD. The guy from Indiana needs to check his setup.
