![]() ![]() I tell him that’s not, it is the regular sized bottle of champagne. He goes on to say oh that’s the small bottle. So I tell the waiter I keep seeing regular bottles of what I wanted being bought by lots of other people and I remind him he told me they didn’t have it. So while we’re sitting and talking, I notice there’s bottles of Imperial Ice being brought out every 5 seconds. So if im asking for 175 bottle of champagne for 2 people, why on earth would you think I would want a gigantic bottle of champagne! The bottle was large enough for about 10 people! Remember it’s only 2 of us. But he brings us an extremely large bottle of a Moët I’ve never seen. I’m not sure if he understood English well or not. He brought the bottle to show us and I asked him if that was 175 and he said yes. He said he had a better bottle so I said ok. Small to me would imply the single serve. He said they only had the small bottle which I replied we want the regular size. I let him know exactly what I wanted, he said they didn’t have the Imperial Ice and I let him know the bartender said they did and that I wanted the 175 bottle that the manager told me. The breakdown happened when the waiter came to our section to take our order. I asked the bartender if they had the Moët & Chandon Ice Imperial which is my favorite champagne, he said they did so I was happy. I asked the manager the price to sit in a section and he said to sit in a section would be a minimum spend of 175 euros for a bottle so I said ok. When we got into the club all was going well until we decided to buy a section. Me and my friend got ripped off big time by the manager and his waiter.

As DJs carried the gospel forward, the album became an indisputable pioneer of the genre’s crossover to 90s rave and Eurodance culture, with Ace of Base’s 1992 breakthrough Happy Nation being a prime example. propelled a revolution within the new-age niche, which until then had been mostly ploughing the prog terrain. The backwards chanting and lyrical references to the Marquis de Sade were blasphemous enough for the Vatican to ban the single Sadeness (Part I) from the radio stations it controlled, a move that must have pleased both the label and Cretu himself after all, you can’t buy publicity like that. The controversy it sparked didn’t hurt, either. The album went triple-platinum in the UK, sold 4m copies in the US and topped the charts globally. The result was MCMXC a.D., a 40-minute work as intense as a ritual of demonic invocation. Retiring to his ART Studios in Ibiza with producers Frank Peterson and Fabrice Cuitad, he conceived the sound of Enigma, combining worldbeat, ambient and electronica with imagery evoking the religious and profane. It was after experimenting with Gregorian chants on Sandra’s version of Everlasting Love that Cretu decided to explore this route further. The mastermind behind the band was Michael Cretu, a Romanian-German musician whose credits included playing keyboards on Boney M’s Rivers of Babylon, co-producing Mike Oldfield’s Islands and crafting instant hits such as Maria Magdalena for his then wife, the German synthpop star Sandra. Faithful to their name, Enigma created a space for the mysterious and the forbidden to prosper, eventually securing a game-changing reputation within dance music while at the same time reinventing the new-age genre.
