ok. words to encompass 'the dreamlife of angels' for the sake of you who are teetering on the edge of purchasedom. it's an undertaking to word her and come close to what you wanted to say in the first place. but. i try for the sake of the music. and the spirit behind the music. the songs are the kind that make you want to love your family more, to notice more, to do whatever it is you love to do...more. sarah is quiet without being weak, strong without being too aggressive. sarah's songs on dreamlife float and speak hope. for those of you bored by the homogenous world of pop music, (ccm? britney?) welcome home! this cd is stripped of all possible pretense, and so you really get to hear sarah and the plethora of amazing musicians who play with her (as well as the perfect match of john jenning's careful production.)for fans of: good music, free of cliche. the folkish-music lovers (do you like the innocence mission? jane siberry? shawn colvin? etc?)will smile knowingly 15 seconds into their first listen. but. the rest of you out there who aren't sure whether to add this cd to your shopping cart will most definitely not be disappointed. -by Abananie (Amazon.com)

"I agree with the people here - the album definitely is lacking for not having Charlie Peacock's involvement. I think he gives Sarah's music a really different edge, and combined with her vocal abilities and creativity, her previous albums have very interesting arrangements. The arrangement in this album is a tad plain.I have had this album for a few months, but have only really started listening to it in the last few days. I am definitely enjoying it, as I particularly enjoy Sarah's lyrics and vocal style. It will be coming with me on my next drive to Auckland (tomorrow), so I'm looking forward to having a good listen."
