yongchris 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2003 Found it at gramaphone. but expensive. $23. canadian press. music is nice, but I still prefer the surfacing album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 Can anyone who has a copy of this CD elaborate on this album? I'm thinking of increasing my singular collection of SMcL. I'd much prefer if it is along the same lines as the Freedom Sessions if not vaguely close! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 it sounds nothing like the 'freedom sessions' don't know the right terms for it, but afterglow has too much of a 'processed' sound to me. i too, prefer the acoustic, "raw" sound of her live albums! but some songs are good though I like "Fallen" especially Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 Any of her other albums has that acoustic or back to basics sound/feel to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 mirrorball? thats probably the closest. if not, you gotta look for some rare live EPs check your pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yongchris 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 personally didn't really like her new album. I feel it's more like a "download from the net" album as opposed to "I need to own it" Freedom sessons rock. Along those lines, I would also recommend. Cowboy Junkies - Trinity Sessions and Dave's True Story - Sex without Bodies Both were recorded in churches with no overdubs DTS is on the chesky label. fantastic recording, beautiful music. I would label it under the jazz genre, but all original songs(not repeated 'standards') Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charismatic 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 I don't like afterglow also. The "alluring" element isn't there. Personally likes fumbling towards ecstasy follows by surfacing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2004 Thanks for the comments & suggestions guys. Will look into them. I've got Trinity sessions already. Freedom session is one of my favourite CD next to BVSC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2004 Chanced upon the Surfacing CD. Very nice, it's close to Freedom Sessions but not as intimate. She sure has a lovely & unique voice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenshinz 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2004 I think Sarah Mclachlan is one of those rare singers where I actually find the live albums are so much more nicer than those recorded in the studio. The live version of her songs sounds so much more alive compared to the original version, more emotions and feeling. My current fave are: Mirrorball Surfacing Fumbling towards estacy Haven't got a chance to hear Freedom Sessions, but I think it should be just as good as Mirrorball since its recorded live.

Freedom session is one of my favourite CD next to BVSC! N@z Just got my hands on this. check it out Cowboy Junkies - Whites Off Earth Now This was actually recorded in the garage of the timmons family, using a brand new omnidirectional mic. Just 1 mic, no overdubs. very very cool sounds. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Thanks for the heads up again yongchris. Got myself Afterglow (tried it out & I kinda like it) & Fumbling towards ecstacy. Couldn't find Mirrorball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
