Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing - Analogue Productions LP

180-gram gatefold double LP cut at 45 RPM

Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes

Award-winning album includes the hits "Angel," "Adia" and "Building A Mystery"

"Marking the 20th anniversary of this U.S. hit's release (OK, a year-and-a-bit late...), this 45 RPM double LP shows off why it's a hi-fi show standard. Canadian McLachlan's vocals are inviting and intimate, sharing qualities with the likes of Lori Lieberman and Eleanor McEvoy while sounding nothing like them. The recording is sublime too, particularly notable its palpable sense of atmosphere and natural-sounding lower registers. There is a dichotomy in this release, however, which sounds like a pop music version of a Gainsborough Pictures costume drama, but covers much darker topics. That said, if you're a sucker for distaff singer-songwriters, you'll love it."
