The Cross of Changes Songwriting Credits by Enigma

Cretu wrote or co-wrote every track here and produced and engineered all of them, so on paper this is a one-man record made in a house on Ibiza. The credit that matters most is not his. "Return to Innocence" now carries Kuo Ying-nan and Kuo Hsiu-chu, the Amis farmers and singers known as Difang and Igay Duana, but their names went on it only after they sued Cretu, Virgin and several record companies in March 1998 over the chant that opens and closes the song. The case settled out of court in June 1999 for an undisclosed sum plus full attribution on every future release carrying the work, which is why the writer line reads three names today and read one in 1993. Cretu said he had been told the recording was public domain. Two outside writers sit on "Age of Loneliness": Anne Dudley and Jeremy Coleman, better known as Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke, whose album Songs from the Victorious City Cretu drew on. David Fairstein wrote the words to "The Dream of the Dolphin" and shares the lyric credit on "I Love You ... I'll Kill You". Cretu himself is credited on the sleeve as Curly M.C., a nickname from the Romanian cret, meaning curly.
