German music project Enigma released their first studio album MCMXC a.D. in 1990. With its unique and previously unheard mix of Gregorian chants and dance beat, this release left a strong impact on he New Age scene. When I reprogrammed some of the stems in the Gregorian song generator, my intention was to come with a tribute to Engima's most emblematic album too. And here it is!
Each slider controls a particular audio stream; adjust sliders to taste and mood. The animation button turns the soundscape into an slowly evolving texture. Use this feature if you intend to listen to the generator over a long period of time!

Thanks to you I listened MMXIX a.D., and I felt really overjoyed, this is beautiful! Now I love Enigma too. Perhaps it isn't surprising, because I'm a student of the faculty of history and I reeaalllyy love all that Middle Ages things, Gregorian chants, and some new age singers too, like Era or Gregorian. I truly deeply thank you, you are the best!

Have been playing this soundscape layered with Thunder & Rain for the past week. Provides a splendid background sound for working and as an engineer I really need to focus at times. Yet it provides enough interest that I when I take a break from my computer I listen. I have then taken it into the evenings when I have had particularly stressful day. It soothes my soul. 6 of 5 hearts.

Enigma has been a favorite group of mine for years, especially for working on anything creative. Their debut album is still an all-time favorite of mine. I'm glad myNoise has created a sound just for them. Tip: I always liked listening to them with rain in the background as well—now I can easily do that any time I want thanks to myNoise!

Oh my god, this one blends beautifully with Deep Chant. So ethereal!

Wow! I love MCMXC a.D. and I love this soundscape!

... based on a true story: to find a place you can go when life gets too hectic, as we all are too hectic. Everybody should spend a few hours here, it would make the world a better place to live.

Simply stunning and deeply moving. Thank you.

I instantly felt my stress melt away when I started playing this. It doesn't feel repetitive, it just flows nicely for hours, even without animating the sliders. This is my new go to for working, studying, everything really!
♥
Brilliant. I'm in love.

Just beyond amazing!

MCMXC a.D. is most probably the album I played most during the nineties: the Gregorian chants on a voluptuous beat, the suggestive texts sung by Sandra Ann Lauer, the increased attention for medieval times due to the movie 'The Name of The Rose' from 1986 and a different mindset that came with the later 80's - early 90's made it almost obvious that this would become a frantically selling album.

This is really nice and definitely has a nostalgic retro vibe that reminds me of the 90's.
