Released in 1996 by Virgin Schallplatten GmbH.
Roughly three years after The Cross of Changes, Michael Cretu released the third album in the Enigma project, which had been firmly established around the world with the first two outings. While staying true to the distinctive Enigma formula with mysterious music blended with various samples and odd sounds, Cretu managed to keep the project fresh and new at the same time. People quickly opened their eyes for the smash hit Beyond The Invisible, but the entire album was probably the smoothest overall offering in the project at the time.
People where beginning to wonder why Cretu had never taken the project on tour around the world, but the ever busy musician simply prefers to stay at home and make music. Not only for himself, but also for the various other artists he produces including his German wife Sandra. Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi which is French and translates to The King is dead, long live the King nudged the project slightly in a more modern direction, which is something that would be fully evident on the next installment.
