			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.jgoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/enkis.jpg" alt="Enki small" align="left" border="0" height="120" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="120" />Originally released in 1999 Lorin Richards&#8217; Enki album harkens back to the dark electronic music of the 80s. One name in particular keeps coming to mind &#8211; Gary Neuman. If you are a fan of electronica from the 80&#8242;s and 90&#8242;s then you should enjoy Enki by <a href="http://www.lorinrichards.com/">Lorin Richards</a>.</p>
<p>From the Product Description at Amazon:</p>
<blockquote><p><em> Enki is a theme, a beautiful collection of stories based on a sci-fi interpretation of ancient Sumerian religion. Imagine the beginning of the world not as an evolution over millions of years, or a creation that lasted six days, but a creation by beings of another planet. Beings seen in the eyes of early civilization as gods. A race so advanced that they had robots guard such fantastic places like the Garden of Eden. This is the idea behind Enki.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Personally I really enjoyed the electronic music and melancholia of the vocals throughout the album. Many tracks also include a Japonisme or oriental feel to them which explains the Japanese characters used to make the title on the album jacket.</p>
<p>The album&#8217;s introduction is Asian strings and wood pipes, then moves onto an ambient vaguely oriental electronic melancholia with The Mourning of the Day.</p>
<p>It is difficult to talk about each song individually as the tracks have similar all the tracks have strong flavors of the electronica of the 1980&#8242;s with a twist of oriental flavored instrumentals throughout. The songs I found standing out most were Due to Us and Recreate, which play a little louder with the stronger vocals. Many of the other tracks tend to keep the vocals in the background.</p>
<p>Essentially, this is a well-produced Japonisme/late 80s electronic album. The sounds are very crisp, and the ambient style of Enki is a nice change of pace. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a more peaceful electronic album.</p>
