“MCMXC a.D.” was the studio album, released in the year 1990 by Enigma, who happens to be a German musical project founded in the year 1990 by Romanian-German talented musician and producer Michael Cretu.
The lyrics of this song refer to Marquis de Sade, a historical figure known for controversial ideas about freedom and indulgence.
The song doesn’t celebrate his actions but uses his name to symbolize the conflict between earthly temptations and spiritual beliefs.
It asks whether it’s possible to find balance between these two sides of life.
