Review by Nolan Webb
Rarities collections often fall short of the mark,
but Sarah McLachlan has again maintained her reputation for the
finest quality in music. This album is an assortment of different
versions of past favourites (such as re-mixes of "Into the
Fire" and "Possession," as well as a live version
of "Drawn to the Rhythm"), complemented by some more
obscure tracks. Fans of well-tuned covers will enjoy fabulous
versions of Joni Mitchell's "Blue," Billy Holliday's
"Gloomy Sunday" and XTC's "Dear God." These
songs, many of them B-sides to singles, are all done with that
distinctly McLachlan flavour. Also featured is the immensely
powerful and popular track, "I Will Remember You," which
has helped to boost her climbing success in the international
market [ed. and which also is included as a QuickTime video].
The diversity of McLachlan's talent shines through brightly and,
reading like a musical autobiography, this album sums up the work
of a star that's not soon to fade.
