Trance Atlantic Air Waves (also known as TAAW), is a side project from Enigma's Michael Cretu. He had previously worked with Jens Gad on Enigma's 1996 release Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi! and they once again teamed up for this side project. Only one studio album was released, The Energy of Sound, by Virgin Records. Most of the songs were cover versions but there were also three original songs.
