:: INTRODUCTION

Eden represented a greater refinement of Sarah's now-famous style of classical crossover. While Timeless was primarily a serious orchestral affair, Frank Peterson allowed for this album to chart more adventurous territory with greater use of synthesisers and modern drumloops. The opening track and title song effectively cast us within this mesmerising new land of Sarah's, with ominous Gregorian-style chanting, electronic instruments and redemptive chorus. The album is lifted even further by modern tracks such as Deliver Me with its primal backing vocals, the plaintive folkish guitar-strumming of Dust In The Wind and the epic ballad Only An Ocean Away as well as Sarah's Italian-lyric version of the "Titanic" theme My Heart Will Go On. The album ends climactically with Sarah's rendition of Nessun Dorma which had previously been a male-voiced conceit. However one of the best tracks off the album has to be Anytime, Anywhere which seems to perfect the concept of Italian opera and English lyrics all atop a readily-accessible blend of orchestral strings and pop sensibilities.
