Following the success of "MCMXC a.D.", Cretu received many offers for soundtrack work and writing film scores. He turned the majority of them down as he disliked the scripts presented to him except for the erotic thriller film "Sliver" (1993), for which he produced two songs for its soundtrack: "Carly's Song" and "Carly's Loneliness". The former track appeared as a new version on the second Enigma album "The Cross of Changes" as "Age of Loneliness". Cretu was unable to contribute more to the soundtrack as he wished to spend his time working on the album.
