Enigma is not a band it is a one man project created by Michael Cretu. Cretu once stated in an interview that "95% of Enigma is a one man band". At the end of 1990 in a virgin press release Michael Cretu stated "Old rules and habits have to be rejected and dismissed so that something new can be created." Thus, he created Enigma. When Cretu released MCMXC a.D. he wished to remain anonymous. In a billboard article Cretu stated "with Enigma I have created a complete piece of music that i wanted to stand alone. There is a sence of mystery in the music that I wanted to leave untouched by the preceptions and preconceived ideas that came with the past history of a producer or a song writer." The above statement shows the reason why cretu wanted to remain mysterious and why he wanted the people involved with Enigma, including himself, to remain unknowen. For the credits on Enigma's first album each of the artist's used an alias as their name. Michael Cretu's alias was Curly M.C., Frank Peterson.s alias was F. Gregorian, David Fairsten had no alias and Sandra and Louisa Stanily where not credited at all.
