[@LaurentKovacs]

Big hit in France 🇫🇷 as well ! In French because the song refers to the sulfurous Marquis de Sade. But i also much prefer 'return to innocence'. 👐

[@JenX_1973]

Ah, that little Libertine, Marquis de Sade! I'll never forget the first time I read "120 Days of Sodom." 😳😳😳

[@jreyman]

This was also a big hit, in the USA, when it hit the airwaves back in the summer of 1990 (MCMXC a.D.), followed by Return To Innocence, when it also released.

[@Dylaneilton62]

Not only because of the Marquis They found the French language to be kind of erotic and sexy, that was the main reason.

[@stevesomeone486]

"Sade what's wrong" ? "Sade don't worry "

[@mfcq4987]

It's partly in French, but it's German, composed by a Romanian.

[@magaliehadjisotiri9255]

I've never heard a cheesy song from Enigma, and there are hundreds. absolutely brilliant. My personal favourite is Mea Culpa. Thanks Derek.

[@oliverklauss8340]

Hundreds ?! They only have eight albums and some compilations .I doubt there are more than 150 official songs released.Yes,there are a lot of songs that tried to copy the original Enigma sound,but these are not created by Cretu.

[@Lofote]

Enigma is great, but they also have cheesy songs, like BOUM BOUM

[@midnight_dancerXXX]

@@Lofote yes, after enigma 4, they released a few cheesy songs but not too many

[@ИгорьСоколов-й8щ]

Finally! Dereck made his first step into another world. The next song should be Return To Innocence (from second Enigma's album "The Cross OF Changes).

[@petrkosina1043]

Love the music genius and composer Michael Cretu. This music will never get old!

[@ThanosX]

Sandra was the female vocalist of Enigma in this particular album. Her voice is really distinctive in this one

[@parisiennemoonlight6650]

Michael Cretu is the greatest Alchemist in music. He mixes pop music with Gregorian chants, Sanskrit chants, Mongolian throat singing, Japanese flute music and a little bit of Opera. He doesn't care about popularity but makes music he wants to make.

[@Telmaandl6]

Alchemist - yes!!!!! Really!.

[@based_maddin]

Sandra is the female voice. Her husband Michael Cretu is behind this project Enigma!

[@michealmccann]

Enigma are other worldly, it's pure spliff music, pure relaxation music, turn out the lights and just drift through another dimension.

[@Vinsanity503]

Enigma was heavily played on the radio here in Portland, OR 🇺🇸 in the mid to early 00s.

[@robertwill23]

Michael Cretu used a lot of samples for his first two Enigma albums. Gregorian chant is a sample so as drum section, I think. Also it's Sandra whispering on this one. Late 80s and early 90s were the time when sampling came into play for many solo musicians and artists. And yes it was played a lot in clubs in early 90s and you could hear that song in many films in early 90s.

[@harel70]

sandra made all the female vocals in this song.

[@CestUnAquoiboniste]

"Mea Culpa" is also a great track.

[@forgoogletotrack7181]

All Enigma's videos are religious/occultic visual artistry, because their music is religious, occultic and atmospheric. (I'm not using the world occultic in the negative sense here.) Michael Cretu took bits of music and instruments from different cultures and fused them. In 1990, it was different from something we've ever heard before, original and unique. In 2023, it still is. And yes, back then our DJs played it in the clubs.

[@Truthteller58-z3c]

This is a Masterpiece of different sounds 👌 🔥

[@ManuelLopez-vo5qp]

I remember this song when I was little, so pure and beautiful

[@softshallow7435]

Part 2 just as, if not better the song is called ‘Return To Innocence’

[@sito7186]

Nope

[@Lofote]

Whether the song is better or not it's off course personal taste, and it wouldn't be mine. But a fact is, that return to innocence is not part 2. It is either a) principles of lust - find love (on the album), b) mea culpa (officially called part 2 back in the days) , or c) the actual "Sadeness Part II" from 2016.

[@aleccopile]

This song is one of my favorites ever and I find it groundbreaking in many ways 👍. Musically, it was so different from anything you've heard before. Just the idea of mixing Gregorian chants with the Marquis de Sade theme and the arrangement with a shakuhachi flute sound and that beat is so unusual and yet so unique. Being from Germany, I am proud of Enigma, especially Michael Cretu and Sandra who have been successful in their own way before and it was so smart yet so easy of Cretu to have his vision and find the right people for it. It's logical, why try different voices when your own wife has the most suitable voice for this music? The result was a huge success worldwide. Especially in America, it's still one of the most successful albums of all time. It's really rare that German record productions sell so well, and with a sound that is anything but mainstream. Hats off 👏.

[@mfcq4987]

It's funny that Enigma, which is a German production, sings in French while Era, which is a French production, sings in an invented language.

[@DShamen]

And Michael Cretu was Romanian born. But many other members were German.

[@Esperluet]

What's up in Germany nowadays?

[@aleccopile]

​@@Esperluet Do you mean in musical, political or social terms?

[@EiffelNord]

The sound of the 90's delivered at the beginning of the 90's (1990). Mylène Farmer uses a lot of pipes on her album Ainsi soit-je (1988) and has a two songs that could be connected to Sadness - part 1 : Vieux bouc (1986) and Agnus Dei (1991).

[@BennoWitter]

This piece started a huge "plain chant (Gregorian chant)" hype, when it came out.

[@fabienridel2440]

Dereck est maintenant prêt pour découvrir ERA avec Ameno^^

[@farid7263]

Sandra ´ s voice is amazing

[@chubbyel]

Sandra is singing the female vocals in this and many songs from the ENIGMA project

[@Marc-zi5cq]

She makes the song tbh

[@JenX_1973]

Gregorian Chant was big in the early 90s. I worked at a record store in college, in the early 90s, and we sold a LOT of Gregorian Chant albums. We had them all in a specific section of the store, that was for "World Music." Enigma was a big seller, as well. For some reason, Gregorian Chant was a big hit here in the U.S. and we sold a LOT of it!

[@esclad]

MCMXC a.D. is a great album, as is Cross of Changes. Never realized the female singer was Sandra until recently.

[@daveb9920]

Anything Enigma touches reaches the soul ❤ Love it!

[@lordwraith]

Enigma made a pretty unkown song called "Rivers of belief ", with a powerful and beautiful refrain

[@IkanGelamaKuning]

Thanks. I will try to listen that.

[@braymax]

One of my favorite bands, each album is so different. My favorite songs are Return to Innocence, Why!, and Beyond the Invisible.

[@Lofote]

Beyond the invisible is so great, the way it builds to the refrain and even then within the refrain it even tops itself more and more. Return to innocence always was too cheesy, too good vibes for me 🙂

[@meliplay]

And the silence must be heard

[@scorpionformula]

Beyond the invisible omg that is naughty

[@scorpionformula]

@@meliplay yes they have so many different styles but still all just heavenly to the ears love the fact they sampled the gregorian chants.. this music was made me feel heaven on earth as a child because It helped relieve me from mothers depression and when she was really sad or isolating herself she would blast this music... so it was a bitter sweet symphony because it's what helped me and I found it as an adult after never knowing who or what they were called... it was the actually kyrie Elison chant I found first and dan Gibson illumination album about 2 years ago and then about 3 months ago found enigma and knew I was back to the beginning of my timeline and feelings of heaven on earth again in a world of suffering. Thank you enigma and gregorian CHANTING

[@meliplay]

@@scorpionformula for me 3 groups of people saved music in the new millennia for me . Beth Hart matchbox 20 and enigma. But your right enigma takes you to another place when your life turns to crap. When i found it i was also going through some of the hardest times of my life actually the hardest time and what got me through was enigma and pink Floyd's division Bell.

[@geoffwag]

For some reason here in the UK this song was titled Sadness !! .. maybe they though we wouldn't get the Marquis De Sade reference

[@clintongreeff7694]

Fantastic and timeless track. The woman whispering is actually Sandra's vocals.

[@Telmaandl6]

Энигму можно слушать в наушниках часами....это магия и медитация..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sudhiracharya1541]

The "Pipe Work" you call is the one and only one Shakuhachi Flute from Japan. It's music is pure magic and takes you into a another world instantaneously. That's ENIGMA for you my friend !!

[@briantschayot]

Soooo good! In case you want to know the lyrics: "Sade, tell me, what are you looking for? Good in evil? Virtue in vice? Sade, tell me, why evangelize evil? If you are against man you are against God. Sade, are you diabolical or divine?" A beautiful mix of the sensual divine and the sensual erotic... By the way, the title is a play on words: SADEness, not Sadness... ;) You should definitely try Mea Culpa next!!!!!

[@StoryOfUsFinalDraft]

This and B-Trivbe - You Won't See Me Cry is hypnotic good

[@GretaZ-dd3lu]

Very sexy song. When it first came out, it was featured in a bunch of movies, especially during love scenes. One standout was "Boxing Helena," very strange movie but they use this song very well.

[@markosborne6063]

This is Sandra on lead vocals. All Enigma videos are played by actors and the original singers never feature in them.

[@karenglenn6707]

This was big in Australia and brings back so many memories. Also love Return to Innocence. Memories of my ex husband, who I still love, just in a different way now. But it was so magical at the time!!

[@benlarin8426]

So innovative. It's timeless. BEAUTIFUL! Copied by many, but nothing beats the original.

[@viedefun]

Un ENORME hit en France ! J'avais 12 ans en 1990 et évidemment, je ne comprenais pas les sous-entendus dans les paroles (le Marquis de Sade, quand même....) ! On reconnait bien la voix de Sandra (dont j'étais fan à l'époque), quel bonheur de l'entendre parler en français ici ! Merci Dereck pour ta réaction ! 💖

[@sebastienfontaine2418]

Vous m'en apprenez une bonne là, Sandra est la chanteuse d'enigma !!! J'avais jamais percuté...

[@viedefun]

@@sebastienfontaine2418 Et oui ! En tout cas, pour cette chanson-là ! Comme c'est son mari, Michael Cretu, qui a créé le groupe, c'était pratique qu'elle participe au projet....😉

God this takes me back. I was 18 when this came out - it was pretty much on a loop on MTV (Eiurope). When I got a portable CD player this album was the first CD I bought

[@arkasonus7678]

With this hit, gregorian chant made a breakthrough in the music industry. Lots of compilations popped up since then... and still... mixed with modern music or not. There really are some gems in this religious music. Amen 😁

[@jeffcappelletti1986]

This song was on the first Pure Moods collection. Michael Cretu and Sandra worked together on some of the Enigma albums and Sandra's solo albums. The remix service Razormaid did a great remix of Sandiness Part 1. Review Sweet Lullaby by Deep Forest. You will like it

[@dianaceraselavladu1604]

Sandra is The Voice of Enigma

[@LetsChillPage]

Dereck, The Marquis de Sade is a man of letters, novelist and French philosopher who lived under the reign of Louis XVI, long doomed to anathema because of the part given in his literary work to eroticism and pornography, associated with acts of violence and cruelty (torture, sodomy, rape, murder, etc.). The expression of virulent anticlerical atheism is one of the most recurring themes of his writings and the one which has mainly resulted in him spending the greater part of his life in prison. Fun fact: It's from his name that the word "sadism" was derived. That's all for today folks 🤐

[@pierredhoine1665]

just epic. listen to entire album, you wont regret it

[@violetvalkyrie476]

I love Enigma. A lot of their music has a sensual quality to it. It's no wonder it did so well.

[@djavatar68]

It's best to experience the entire album how the songs flow into one another. That model in the video is not doing the female vocal. That's actually Sandra's voice.

[@etlv87etlv86]

that song was such a novelty at the time it was the beginning of the new age era...and yes that was sandra speaking!

[@jreyman]

The "choir" vocals are performing what is called a Gregorian Chant. This track was included on one of the Pure Moods discs, but it comes the Enigma album "MCMXC a.D." ("1990"), the first full album that was released. Everything on the album is composed and performed by Michael Cretu, except Sandra's voice. The entire CD is 7 tracks, but plays as one continuous track if you listen to the whole album. There were three different versions of Sadeness released as singles. This track you played is Part one of the album track 2. (Track 2, Index 1, if you can find a good CD player from the 80's or 90's, that displays the full track information.) The "club version" is the Fading Shades remix of Sadeness.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

Listen to Return To Innocence next

[@ohfour-seven6228]

[@Summon256]

I also recommend reacting to Michael Cretu solo stuff (the founder and idealogical leader of project Enigma!) and also him together with Tissy Thiers! Songs worth listening to are my personal favorites, but you might wanna start with Wild River! One of his most mesmerizing songs imho! Other great songs are - Samurai, great instrumental piece called - Mikado and Coda as it's intro (i recommend looking for an extended version that has Coda and Mikado glued together in one epic transtion!), Crazy Life, Gambit, Am i Alone, Mona Lisa, Cretu and Thiers - Waterfall (very slow, but very mesmerizing!), Cretu And Thiers - Snowing Under My Skin (another mesmerizing piece!), Cretu And Theirs - Two Thousands Ways To Heaven, Cretu And Thiers - When Love Is The Missing Word...maybe even more, but that's all from the top of my head! Cretu is a hitmaker pal! Trust me!...

[@alexdange5343]

Hi Derek! Look "Mea Culpa" and "Prenceples of lust". By the way, the words "Sad dis moi" are pronounced by Sandra, in her erotic whisper))) My favourite is a "Beyond the invisible". Please more react to Sandra and Enigma.

[@Frederic1406]

The signature flute sound of Enigma, together with the chanting, are so cool!! This song is quite erotic. Particularly the moment when the female singer (Sandra) is breathing after the male rap, the music stops and then the flute comes back with the beat... Totally sensual.

[@paulstephens6761]

what a lot of people refer to as flute is actually a sample of a wind instrument called a low whistle troy donockly from nightwish plays a low whistle.
