    I'm a big fan of Enigma, and thought i would recommend some other music similar to it that some of you might enjoy too -- Lesiem, Era, Delerium, and Deep Forest. Deep Forest not so much as the others. I've explored many though not all of these groups' songs when they were available on Audiogalaxy and these are the songs i like the most:

    Lesiem - Fundamentum (think hardcore gregorian chanting)
    Lesiem - Indalo
    Lesiem - Lesiem

    Era - Ameno
    Era - Angel
    Era - Boddhisattya Land
    Era - Celebration
    Era - Enae Volare Messo
    Era - Flowers of the Sea
    Era - Infinity Ocean
    Era - Journey to Shambala
    Era - Misere Mani
    Era - Sacral Nirvana
    Era - Wind Love

    Delerium - Euphoria
    Delerium - Forgotten Worlds
    Delerium - Remembrance
    Delerium - Till the End of TIme
    Delerium - Wisdom

    Deep Forest - Coral Lounge
    Deep Forest - Rain Song
    Deep Forest - Sweet Lullaby

    If anyone knows of any music similar to Enigma i'd appreciate some recommendations.

    Dude, I prefer Delerium over Enigma. I recommend all Delerium CD's with Kristy Thirsk and Poem for a start. I only like Deep Forest's very first CD. It's called Deep Forest. Their other ones are not as good.

    Thanks guys. Okay i've went through all of my songs, and here are more that seem kinda related to Enigma:

    Pilgrimage - Rain or Shine (also check out all of the other songs from Pigrimage's 9 Songs of Ecstasy album, but this one is my fav)

    Bliss - Kissing
    Aphrodite - We Enter (Deep Forest mix)

    Dead Can Dance - lots of their songs

    Gregorian Masters of Chant - Celtic Trance

    Hildegard von Bingen - Fiery Spirit
    Hildegard von Bingen - For the Creator
    Hildegard von Bingen - Illumination
    Hildegard von Bingen - Fire of the Spirit

    Joannie Madden - Women of Ireland (not related with Enigma, but still a beautiful haunting flute song)

    John Herberman - Hidden Garden (sounds of nature combined with an angelic voice singing)

    Afro Celt Sound System - Inion-Daughter
    Tangerine Dream - Loved By The Sun
    Arcana - Chant of the Awakening
    Joseph LoDuca - Druid Chant
    Xena Soundtrack - Meditation

    Hey Avatar, if someone had never listened to Bjork before, and asked you to recommend just 3 of her songs for them to listen to, which ones would you select?

    Yeah, but these songs are modernized with instruments and such, especially Illumination and Fire of the Spirit. And that's the way i downloaded them over Audiogalaxy -- with Hildegard as the artist.

    After downloading and listening to these, i like the latter 2 songs but didn't care much for the first one. I also like Human Behavior. Thanks Avatar.

    I've listened to a few of her songs, mostly on MTV. I agree, her videos are art.

    Sure, i'd appreciate a few more recommendations, just not too many -- because when people recommend too much it can seem too overwhelming and time-consuming to want to explore. Also i'd appreciate a few Mike Oldfield recommendations. I looked for Suite 706 and have yet to see anyone have any of their songs over KaZaa.

    I can e-mail you those 2 suite706 songs

    as for Bjork->
    (I'll give you 5)

    Isobel
    Hyper-ballad
    Come To Me
    All is Full of Love
    Hunter

    mind that she has a SPECIAL music style
    it is not ordinary and unprepared humans often don't like them

    Mike Oldfield... PROBLEM
    I have all his albums and can't really recommend some songs.

    write in the search- > Tubular Bells III (it's an album, and one of my favourites-> but almst all of them are my favourite)

    You might carer to check out Sunscreem's songs Portal, Pressure, Doved Up, Love U More, Perfect Motion, and Release Me. It's sorta 'erotic techno-dance.'

    I remember seeing a poll once on an Enigma website called "Battle of the Titans: Which song do you like more, Sadeness or Return to Innocence?" Over 2000 people had voted.

    Sadeness had 51% of the vote, Return to Innocence had 49%. Close!

    Isobel

    In a forest pitch-dark
    Glowed the tiniest spark
    It burst into flame
    Like me, like me

    My name isobel
    Married to myself
    My love isobel
    Living by herself

    In a heart full of dust
    Lives a creature called lust
    It surprises and scares
    Like me,like me

    My name isobel
    Married to myself
    My love isobel
    Living by herself

    When she does it she means to
    Moth delivers her message
    Unexplained on your collar
    Crawling in silence
    A simple excuse
    Nana na nana, nana na nana
    Nana na nana, nana na nana

    In a tower of steel
    Nature forges a deal
    To raise wonderful hell
    Like me, like me

    My name isobel
    Married to myself
    My love isobel
    Living by herself

    When she does it she means to
    Moth delivers her message
    Unexplained on your collar
    Crawling in silence
    A simple excuse
    Nana na nana, nana na nana

    Might I dare to suggest that Rage is also pretty good?
