~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION ~~~~~~~~~~~ Having at last emerged into the international spotlight with her previous album - Fumbling Toward Ecstasy (FTE) - Sarah McLachlan consolidated her growing reputation as a stand-out singer songwriter with her aptly named follow-up - "Surfacing". As a long standing fan starved of new material for four years, I had great expectations. It was time to find out whether the raw but sparkling gem of talent revealed in her debut "Touch" (1988), refined with "Solace" (1991), and polished with the excellent Fumbling Toward Ecstasy in 1993, had developed into the perfect diamond her ...

Well what can I say about this album? It is the best ever! But that would not make for the greatest of reviews. Sarah Mclachlan is without doubt for me one of the greatest singer/songwriters of this time, if not ever. The Canadian who has just turned 34, has offered so much to the music industry, with the brilliant Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, Touch, Solace to name just a few. Surfacing is an enhanced CD as many of Mclachlan's CD's are. Which is great because it offers a great insight into her background and history. Featured on this CD are pictures, info about other albums and also video footage of studio performances of songs like angel. ... Read the complete review

Sometimes you have to buy a Sarah McLachlan CD, run yourself a hot bubble bath, and just GO WITH IT. Hi folks. I've recently been listening to softer music than my gender permits, and with this opinion I'm now totally destroying my reputation as a big tough bloke. Ah, to hell with it. I have no reputation. So this is Sarah McLachlan, a name I would sometimes hear from female friends. She is hardly known over here but she's pretty well known in America. While we are all listening to Dido and proclaiming her to be a refreshing 'reinvention' of female-vocal folk/rock, Sarah McLachlan has been doing this kind of stuff for over 10 years. ...

I first discovered Sarah Mclachlan after hearing her music featured on several television shows: VR5 and Dawson's Creek amongst others. Mclachlan's soulful voice and music style is very recognisable and not easily forgotten. This was the second album I bought - my first was 'Fumbling into Ecstasy', which I found to be a perfect album in every way possible. The songs on that album have more of a spiritual, hippy vibe. This collection is way more 'grown up' and the songs seem almost designed to be used as televsion drama backing tracks as a means to emote. 'Building A Mystery' was recently featured prominantly on an episode of cult show 'Lost' and totally ... Read the complete review
