Building a mystery (Sarah McLachlan) (LP 3192)

Sarah McLachlan  Surfacing (CD, Arista Records, 1997) ****  

GenrePop 

Places I remember: Virgin Megastore (Dubai)

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Building A Mystery

Gear costume: Adia 

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5

Active compensatory factors: This is the fourth album by the Canadian singer-songwriter. While living in The Middle East, I was reading one of those 1001 albums to listen to before you start pushing up the daisies type books, and the author raved about it. So, the next time we went into Dubai to the mall I grabbed a copy from the Virgin Megastore.

It's pleasant, a bit slow in the old tempo stakes (I like some variety and generally some oomph in my music) but she sounds great - she certainly has a beautiful voice. 

So, I've now heard it.

Where do they all belong? 
The album was very successful but I can't compare it to any of her other albums as this is the only one I own.
