Синглу 10 лет, невероятно что услышал его только сейчас. Причина возможно в том что это неординарный сторонний проект основателя Enigma.
После первого прослушивания я понял, включу трек снова завтра и он западёт глубоко в недры моего восприятия. Это одна из тех песен которую не хочешь быстро заслушать до дыр, но по разу на день, растянуть удовольствие, не хочешь хвастаться ею перед кем либо, а чтобы не беспокоили и дали насладиться состоянием ума.
Стилистика композиции та что обычно наблюдается за наиболее популярными работами проекта, но есть и элементы напоминающие раннее творчество Deep Forest. Ценителям творчества Михаэ́ля Кре́ту (рум. Mihai Creţu), каким-то непонятным образом пропустившим сие чудо - крайне рекомендуется.
"MMX (The Social Song)" is a single by the band Enigma released on December 15, 2010 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the musical project.
In October 2010 Enigma's producer Michael Cretu invited the fans to record themselves and vote for a vocalist to create the song via internet.
Latvian Fox Lima's (Alise Ketnere) "Fei Mea" was the most voted and became the lead vocal for the chorus of the social song.
The 3 runners up, J.Spring (Jerome Pringault) from Spain, Mark Josher from Brazil and Rasa Serra (Rasa Veretenčevienė) from Lithuania provided other important parts of the vocals like the backings, bridge and verse of the final version of the single.
All 4 vocalists are fully credited for the lyrics and music.
Fans were also involved in the production of the song choosing a solo instrument, its final style and mood as well as its cover art created by Lars Doerwald.
Finally Arístides Moreno (Steadycamline) was voted by the fans to direct the official video which was released on YouTube, Enigma's official website and Facebook on March 17, 2011. Arístides Moreno (Steadycamline) also directed and edited a making-of video of the event.
"MMX" is the first track Michael recorded on his own in his mobile producing studio called Merlin, and it is also the first song ever created and produced via the internet exclusively for and by fans.
