I mean, come on, everyone must be blown away when she appeared the first time with Snow on the Sahara; Rose in the Wind\/Kembali; SAVIOUR\/Mantra!! (genius!! they even put the song as one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Transporter_2\">TRANSPORTER 2<\/a> soundtrack); In Your mind\/Etre Une Femme, etc. The European mixed with javanese ethnic &#8220;typiquement d&#8217;Anggun&#8221; flavor is what made her stand out from crowd, and make us proud as well.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>I opt <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php?#\/discography\/album.php?aid=29339830019\">LUMINESCENCE<\/a> as her best album of all, followed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Anggun-Cipta-Sasmi\/22333766718#\/discography\/album.php?aid=17815787897\">SNOW ON THE SAHARA<\/a>.
