The box on the right hand side a little way down is the target

Hope you enjoy this one:

[Music Head]

Started playing this, but I don't think most of these tracks are from the album Laws Of Illusion. Only Loving You Is Easy, Don't Give Up On Us and U Want Me 2 are from that album. The rest are from other albums.

Here is the correct track listing

1."Awakenings"
2."Illusions of Bliss"
3."Loving You is Easy"
4."Changes"
5."Forgiveness"
6."Rivers of Love"
7."Love Come"
8."Out of Tune"
9."Heartbreak"
10."Don't Give Up on Us"
11."U Want Me 2"
12."Bring on the Wonder"
13."Love Come (Piano Version)"

Sarah McLachlan……………Laws Of Illusion
I love fantasy album covers and this one is just wonderful !

Track One Loving You Is Easy :A thumping piano drives this the first track….The Vocal style is easy and light…..The sound reminds me of the Carpenters…so maybe Sarah is a 2010 re-incarnation .


Track Two One Dream: Ballad style and the piano dominates, the voice is placed over the whole thing ..Double tracked at times to provide a simple but affective delivery. Nice track well put together and engaging


Track Three Ordinary Miracle : Solemn start which soon blossoms into a serious song , nice guitar work and muffled trumpet.


Track Four Don’t Give Up On Us : Nice love song .


Track Five U want Me 2: Gentle engaging track, one which will grow on one. Nice twist in the melody to give a good hook……memorable and dreamy ………………..


Track Six I Will Remember In this situation, it seems that this is a live version….Nice track, bit slow interesting.


Track Seven Fallen : By this track I was beginning to feel that there is a weakness here: lack of variety…………It seems that Sarah stays in her comfort zone to often….and that results in fatigue for the listener………….there are only so many times you can re use the same approach.


Track Eight The Paths Of Thorns: A return to the more ethereal approach along with a interesting twist in the melody……..makes a reasonable attempt at making this an enjoyable track


Track Nine Possession. Good track with nice vocal style and interesting arrangement.


Track Ten Aidia Nice group feel and a nice track

I think you are right ED , this is not the full album and I guess it is not , we live and learn.
