Surfacing is one of the best albums ever! Every song is a gem

Touch is the only album I like from her. It was the 1st one I checked out, as I wanted to start from the beginning, & it's a shame she so quickly moved away from the gothic, ethereal style on her debut.

She's used the same producer for pretty much everything she's released since so to no wonder it all sounds so samey (to me) :-?

I do love 'Building A Mystery' though, but very little else from her 1990s+ career.

Yeah, for me it's her best, trailed by Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.

I have all of her LPs and many singles I've bought.

She's in my top 3 on lastfm.

What else can be said 8-)

Her voice is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Surfacing, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, and Laws Of Illusion are my favourite albums.

I've not been able to get into her, but I've only listened to the odd track on Laws of Illusion! What should I listen to from her which will make me gush? :lol:

But your eyes like midnight fireflies
Light up the trenches where my heart lies...
Until I can see again
Find my way back again


Yes, that is a fantastic song, probably my favourite from Afterglow.

There's one song by Sarah I've never been able to find: I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day. It's on iTunes and Amazon but I don't buy my music from either.

Well she's heading to Australia I think next month with "A Taste Of Lilith", and doing a solo tour in the US/Canada, so who knows....early next year?

I hope so. I'd love to see her here in the UK. She's flawless live.

I can believe there aren't more posts in here!

Anyway, she is amazing and I love this song......

Probably one of the best break-up songs of all time.

I really like her too, her songs are very touching... i don't listen to them enough because i don't want to feel too depressed but she makes pain seem bearable...
matters of the heart, blast you but love you too.

i think the one i listened the most back then were Fumbling and Surfacing (found it too short an album) , my favorite of late is Wintersong, it's very soothing.
