Breathtaking single but completely unnecessary.

Orinoco Flow is thought of by many to be Enyas only hit when that is not true. She has had several hits since then only not as chart-topping as this one. This song is absolutely beautiful.

Enya seaming has been making almost carbon-copies of this single a few times since as on songs like On My Way Home from Memory Of Trees and Lazy Days from A Day Without Rain only these two songs while still great, don't beat Orinoco Flow because Orinoco has a very dramatic feel. I love the quiet bridge in the middle of the song from 1:50 to 2:10. That part of the song alone probably saved it from being played out in my opinion. Enya should have made a whole remix of this single that sounded like that quiet bridge.

Although Orinoco Flow is beautiful, this item is completely unnecessary. This item only has the parent album version as well as a shortened version which is exactly like the original but only shorter. A complete waste of money even for heavy duty Enya fans.

Great, yes, but why the need for this?

Yes, this single is glorious and one of the best remnants of the 80's Celtic music scene, but why release it in this fashion? If the record company wanted to really commemorate the 10th anniversary, they should have released a maxi-CD of this song, as it would have made more sense.

The most inexplicable thing about this new CD is that it doesnt even have the whole original song on it. Its just the edited version, which is really insulting. An utter waste of money, even if you're an Enya addict.

Orinoco Flow

This here is the edited version of "Orinoco Flow". Even though it is shorter than the original version, it sounds just as great. "Orinoco Flow" is Enya's best and greatest hit. This single celebrates the success of that hit. This is a must for fans and a worthy buy.
