Title: Four hits from Sarah but not one of her typical CD-Singles
Review: Over the years we have become accustomed to Sarah McLachlan's CD-Singles giving us one of her hits, some sort of alternative version of that hit and a third song, which was usually a cover of something by Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel, etc. In that regard, "Building a Mystery" is less than what we have come to expect. We get the title song, from "Surfacing," along with "I Will Remember You" from "The Brothers McMullen" soundtrack album, and "Possession" from "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy." For me, and I assume for most other devoted fans, the only "new" track on this CD-Single is the soft drum mix of "Angel." Ironically, given the rest of the content of this CD, this is not a substantially different version. So while these are great songs from a great singer-songwriter, they do not represent anything substantially new to our McLachlan music collection.
Is the review positive or negative?
