Genre: Electronic Style: Modern Classical, New Age Year: 1988 Video source: YouTube (Official 4K Music Video) Audio source: DVD - The Very Best Of Enya (2009) "Orinoco Flow", also released as "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)", is a song by Irish singer-songwriter Enya from her second studio album, Watermark (1988). It was released on 3 October 1988 by WEA Records in the United Kingdom and by Geffen Records in the United States the following year. The song topped the UK Singles Chart for three weeks and received two Grammy Award nominations for Best Music Video and Best New Age Performance at the 32nd Annual Grammy Awards. The Guardian ranked "Orinoco Flow" number 77 in its list of the 100 greatest UK number-one singles of all time in 2020. The song was released as the lead single from Enya's studio album, Watermark, on 3 October 1988. It became a global success, reaching number one in several countries, including Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, where it stayed at the top of the UK Singles Chart for three weeks. In the United States, the song peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1989. The title of the song is an allusion both to Orinoco Studios (now Miloco Studios), where it was recorded, and to the river of the same name. Its pizzicato chords, generated by altering the Roland D-50 synthesizer's "Pizzagogo" patch, are highly recognizable as a New-Age sound. Enya was signed to WEA by Rob Dickins, who served as executive producer of Watermark, and the song pays homage to Dickins in the line "with Rob Dickins at the wheel". Co-producer Ross Cullum is referenced in the song with a pun on Ross Dependency: "We can sigh, say goodbye/Ross and his dependencies". In 1994, the song was licensed to Virgin Records for the best-selling new-age music compilation album Pure Moods, which contributed to further exposure and "helped provide a multi-platinum bonanza" to the record company. In 1998, a special-edition 10th-anniversary remix single was released. Release Info The videotrack is ripped from YouTube (Official 4K Music Video). I also added the 1080p videotrack.
