THE BEST BALLADS BY THE MOST HAUNTING VOICE YOU WILL EVER HEAR
Compared to its population, Canada is blessed with a disproportionate great number of talented performance artists - and Sarah McLachlan is one of the best examples.
Maybe they are inspired by the endless expanses of the Great North and the blandness of the Toronto sprawl; maybe it is the eternal adolescence of the Canadian psyche or the freshly disillusioned naiveté of a nation of great poets and dreamers bordering a militaristic giant. Who knows...
Sarah McLachlan is a GREAT SINGER. And this is her BEST ALBUM! I have FUMBLING TOWARDS ECSTASY (together with all her albums) since my university years - God bless the DUE SOUTH TV Series that exposed me to her absolutely haunting voice! I have been playing it numerous times over the years, one could not get tired of this collection. The pieces are all gems, from start to finish! The music speaks directly to the soul, such poetic lyrics are so hard to find anymore and Sarah's voice will haunt you forever...
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
EASTER EGG: Wait after the last track is over and let the CD play: there is an acoustic (piano only) version of Possession that you will never forget...
Why haven`t we heard.....
Why haven`t we heard of this beautiful singer in Europe?
I picked this album up in the USA in the summer - on sale in a record store. Attracted primarily to the unusual cover and a bit of blurb on the back.
Then took a while to listen to it when we got back - then wow straight back on when it finished.
A great voice and some really mellow tracks - Mary in particular is very much worth listening to the lyrics, Circle is a strongly sung song.
Hard to compare her to anyone really but if you like some strong vocals by a good singer, with some good acoustic and electric backing, buy this album and look out for some others - she is a bit hit in the USA (she is from Canada)
One of the best albums you will ever listen to
She can sing , write and deliver a song like no one else take a chance listen to this album you wont be disappointed . Sarah Mclachlan has a very rare talent " she can sing ".
