"More than 25 years after the release of ENIGMA’S ground-breaking debut album, MCMXC a.D., Michael Cretu—the man behind this genre-defying act—is releasing its brand new album, The Fall Of A Rebel Angel. The musical project, known globally as ENIGMA, has proved one of the most successful of the last quarter-century. It has delivered more than 70 million sales across seven albums, 60 Number One albums around the world, and received over 100 Platinum awards. Now, in 2016, Cretu reconnects with that very first multi-platinum album to transfer its bold, pioneering sound-world to here and now. The Fall Of A Rebel Angel is the musical parable of a sensitive artist's view on the human condition. The album tells the story of a protagonist setting off on a symbolic journey of development and change to find a new, fulfilling life. In cooperation with Cretu, Grammy and Echoaward-winning writer, Michael Kunze, has created the story in words to accompany the music, which will be featured in its entirety on the album’s multi-lingual Special Edition. In addition, Wolfang Beltracchi, one of the greatest and most controversial painters of our times, has crafted the album’s artwork and 12 original paintings, each to illustrate the 12 album “chapters”. The Deluxe Edition of ‘The Fall Of A Rebel Angel’ is a double CD in a high quality digipack with a 40-page booklet, the complete album and a Bonus CD of the story behind ‘The Fall Of A Rebel Angel’, read in three languages and underlayed with original music. The Vinyl Edition contains all 12 songs from the new album and a large-format 16-page booklet including the story of ‘The Fall Of A Rebel Angel’, as well as a painting of Wolfgang Beltracchi for each song. The Standard CD Edition contains all 12 songs from the new album and an extensive booklet including the story of ‘The Fall Of A Rebel Angel’, as well as a painting of Wolfgang Beltracchi for each song."
