Michael continued work on his existing projects, including Enigma."Īnyway what I'm saying is that if they parted ways right after their biggest success and never spoke again, then there was probably a huge falling out and he might not even want to talk about the whole thing. On Frank's old website it says, "After going their separate ways in 1991, Cretu and Peterson never talked or met with one another ever again. But that's just speculation lol.Īnyway what I'm saying is that if they parted ways right after their biggest success and never spoke again, then there was probably a huge falling out and he might not even want to talk about the whole thing. Sounds like de rigueur for anyone who's ever been partners with someone when something blows up and the money starts flowing and then people start fighting on who contributed more and who's worth the bigger share. So basically after their most successful album was released they parted ways and never talked. ![]() Michael continued work on his existing projects, including Enigma." hard to ID anything.On Frank's old website it says, "After going their separate ways in 1991, Cretu and Peterson never talked or met with one another ever again. There's an old website here: FPWeb :: The Frank Peterson Website which has only very small, almost thumbnail size pics of his studio. I bet the "falling star" patch is either something he programmed, or is a preset on one of his synths. he's a keyboardist who worked with both Cretu on MCMXC a. I did some searching, and came across the name Frank Peterson. ![]() There's more than one pitch though, so he's either playing 2 notes, or using 2 oscillators tuned at an interval.ĮDIT: Sarah Brightman's "In Paradisum" has the same falling star sound, around 1:30: YouTube I grabbed a sample and slowed it down, and it's the typical square LFO modulating pitch with a slow decending pitch envelope, run through reverb and delay. I'd love to find out what synth/patch he used for the "falling star" sound all over the first 3 albums though. The arpeggiated flute sound in Return to Innocence is from the 0 series. Otherwise, I really don't care.I was just going through some D-70 presets on Synthmania, and recognized this as the shaku flute sound at the start of Beyond The Invisible (from E3): Į2 and E3 have Korg 01/W sounds all over them as well. ![]() If you're a fan of electronic music with even slightly developed tastes, I recommend skipping this one. It must be the use of the word "meditation" and monks chanting with biblical references and other mundane things like opera and foreign language that New Agers would perceive as exotic and therefore spiritual. Oh well, I suppose many would be deceived as the story goes. I mean, c'mon - Principles of Lust! Since when is lust a virtue? I'm not a religious person, but I'm pretty sure that's one of the "deadly sins" or something like that. What I don't understand is how people would think this is "spiritual" music. But there are so many other choices out there that wouldn't necessitate demeaning yourself or degrading your partner. I get it that it appeals to a shallow or superficial self indulgence, or that some people like it for cheezy "mood music" due to its hedonistic nature. It's worse than I remembered, and it's not just the bad mixing and dubbing. That "song" has been used as a comedic punchline at least now I get the joke.
