The song that started it all.
I love the sound of the monks chanting and the tune of the music. I remember hearing this beautiful song at the age of 9(I'm 22 now)and I've been a fan of Enigma ever since. Sadsness Part 1 is one of those songs you need to listen to full blast on your stereo system or diskman. Just lay back and enjoy the wonderful songs that Enigma as to offer.


Awesome music and song!!
Loved it when I heard it and now I own all the mixes I know about. I have been looking for this song since I first heard it on KROQ here in Los Angeles County. This CD is a must have in your collection!!.


AN EXCEPTIONALLY ENIGMATIC SINGLE !
d. This is an exceptional example of what a c. re-mix maxi-single should be like. It offers four tracks of the same song, each re-mixed differently than the preceeding one. I normally do not collect c. d. singles for the simple fact that I do not want 5-8 different versions of the same song ( what you usually get are real tedious and repetitious versions of the same song with very little or subtle differences). However, with this single of Sadeness Part I, each version is quite different. The two most innovative ones are the Meditation Mix and the Violent U. S. Mix; The first is very entrancing while the second has a lot of OOMPH! to it. For club d. j. s who want to avoid the album altogether, this maxi-single would be worth it and is a great keeper for any club d. j. 's library !.


No one seems to know Enigma, but they know the music. Why?
Though three of the four tracks are different enough to be called remixes, two of the tracks are rather tedious and melancholly (#'s 2&4). Although the "Sadness" is misspelled for the actual "Sadeness Part I" you'll see on the cover when you order it, a rare Imported-from-Japan single does use the "Sadness" spelling (this isn't that rare one). However, the CD is a must for collectors and for those who like to listen to music not on the original album. The Album edit version is by far the most popular version of the song that swept the world in 1990, though my personal favorite is track #2, the Violent US Remix. If you decide to become an Enigma collector, try hard not to scratch the disc. I did that and had to wait for over a year before I could get a second copy. --MF.
