According to the liner notes, Enigmatic : Calling was inspired by "a number of great thinkers, philosophers, scientists, writers, and film directors," including Erich von Däniken, Albert Einstein, and Steven Spielberg. Some of the lyrics address "the idea that mankind was originally created, constructed, and placed here on Earth as a genetically modified species created as a project by 'aliens'."

gollark: Did you know?
gollark: The Ringworld ringworld actually has some handwavey way to induce solar flares for maneuvering, as well as a bunch of Bussard ramjet-ish engines.
gollark: Inasmuch as any big thing which harvests power from stars is, yes.
gollark: It also isn't stable wrt. the star, so you'll need a way to move the ring around to keep the star in the middle.
gollark: There's no day-night cycle, which you might find unpleasant. This can be solved by having a smaller inner ring which is only half filled in and doesn't spin. You can also stick solar panels on there for free power.
