Tears of pearls (Savage Garden) (LP 3736)

Savage Garden Savage Garden (CD, Columbia Records, 1997) ***  

GenreAustralian pop 

Places I remember: Shona Walding collection

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: I Want You

Gear costume: To the Moon and Back, Truly Madly Deeply

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6

Active compensatory factors: This is definitely not an album I would have normally bought back in 1997, but I hung onto it, rather than throw it away, after it was donated to me in a box of CDs.

Why? Because it's a very good pop album with plenty of hooks. A huge seven singles were lifted from it!

Contrary to my impressions from the record cover (which I've always thought was a male and female duo), Savage Garden are a couple of Aussie battlers: Darren Hayes on vocals and Daniel Jones on guitar, keyboards, and vocals.

The album was hugely successful and deservedly so - it's a very radio friendly collection of hits.

Where do they all belong? Nice pop album, although it has that nineties sound - so a tad dated in 2025.
