SADISFACTION
Gregorian
Gregorian è un gruppo musicale tedesco, guidato da Frank Peterson, che rilegge, utilizzando il canto gregoriano, famosi pezzi pop, rock e metal. Poiché i loro arrangiamenti comprendono sia cantato che accompagnamento strumentale, la loro musica non può considerarsi canto gregoriano a tutti gli effetti (questo genere è solo vocale).
In origine Gregorian era concepito come un gruppo più orientato verso il pop, sulla scia del successo degli Enigma. Con questa idea uscì nel 1991 l'album Sadisfaction, con l'accompagnamento vocale del duo vocale The Sisters of Oz Susana Espelleta (moglie di Peterson all'epoca) e Birgit Freud. Si tratta comunque dell'unico album in quello stile.
Nel 1998, Peterson e il suo gruppo decisero di fare cover di pezzi famosi in stile gregoriano.
I membri del gruppo sono Richard Naxton (Naxos), Johnny Clucas (Johnny), Dan Hoadley (Dan), Chris Tickner (Chris T.), Richard Collier (Rich), Gerry O'Beime (Gerry), Gunther Laudahn, Lawrence White (Lorro), Jan-Eric Kohrs and Rob Fardell (Rob F.).
Altri che contribuiscono alle parti vocali o sonore dei Gregorian sono Sarah Brightman (sotto lo pseudonimo Hepsibah), Frank Peterson, Amelia Brightman, e lo staff della Nemo Studio.

A bootleg version of this album contains 5 bonus tracks from Enigma-like groups who have no relation to Frank Peterson. This 'bonus-edition' was not endorsed by the publisher in anyway: Sadisfaction was never released with bonus songs or limited editions, so do not be misled when reading about a group called Gregoria etc.
The album's title is a melding of the words 'sad' and 'satisfaction', in a similar way that Enigma's track Sadeness. So Sad shares some common elements with that group's hit: lonesome Gregorian chants against strong beats with breathy female vocals. Once In a Lifetime was first performed on this album, before being interpreted by Sarah Brightman and Princessa. The best track on the album is the epic The Quiet Self while the most surprising song is Monastry, which also uses Gregorian chants, but this time supported by hard-rock guitars making it a fun, enjoyable piece. Interestingly the backing of this arrangement was later used in the song Rain found only on Sarah Brightman's single The Second Element. Frank Peterson was credited as F. Gregorian as he had been on MCMXC a.D. while Susana Espelleta, who was married to him at the time, was credited as Peterson.
