Dive Product Description
Dive by Sarah Brightman was released May 16, 2000 on the Spectrum Music label. Recorded with a large contingency of German musicians, British stage-diva Sarah Brightman's Dive is a loose concept album tied together by a common thread of nautical references. Dive Opening with the short, spoken-word piece that is the title track, there are constant images of the sea throughout the lyrics. Dive The material sounds like what you would expect from Brightman's ex-husband Andrew Lloyd Webber. It's all fairly pretentious power ballads, but there's no denying that they're melodic. Brightman has a powerful set of pipes and, actually, shows a good deal of restraint. There are several songs that are a cut above like "Captain Nemo" and "Seven Seas." She does go over the top on her cover of Procol Harum's "A Salty Dog," but she redeems herself with the closer, "The Second Element II." The song, a reprise of an earlier track, is a stripped-down, acoustic affair with a subdued vocal by Brightman. ~ Tom Demalon Budget price collection from Spectrum.15 tracks.1993. Recorded at Nemo Studios, Hamburg, Germany. ...See Full Description

| Huh? The lyrics stinks. After hearing her other albums, this is a disappointment By a reviewer (C, TN, USA)  |
| VERY COOL ALBUM I love this album. It talks about the love and the songs contains a beautiful background. Whenever I go whit my friends on holiday on the sea, we listen this album and we have a great time. You sit close to sea, it's full Moon and you listen this beautiful album. You have to try that. It takes your breath away. By Ivan (Zagreb, Croatia) |
| Fantastic! I love this version of Once in a Lifetime...so similar yet so diffrent from the version she does with Enigma. By poetshadow (Milwaukee Wisconsin, USA) |
| beautiful, beautiful music The music that Sarah Brightman sings in this CD is some of the most beautiful, and probably THE MOST beautiful music that I have ever heard in my life. I saw Sarah Brightman perform La Mer from the Dive album in her Eden concert, and the soaring beauty of this music and her voice was an extraordinary visceral experience. By lsu301 (boston, MA) |
| A fun CD from a living legend Sarah Brightman's "DIVE" album is unique in her anthology in that it contains no opera-esque tracks, reminiscent of her previous accolades. While many may see "DIVE" as a cruel departure from Brightman's routine, I feel that it's a solid breath of fresh air, something that can be similarly felt in her "FLY" and "HAREM" albums, and in the "HAREM" concert (I saw her in Seattle and WOW! A must see!) I was especially surprised to hear the cover of Sandra's "Johnny Wanna Live," written by Michael Cretu, the man behind "Enigma!" I truly believe that Sandra's rendition is slightly better, but the track, as well as the rest of the album, are an amazingly rich departure from the norm. By Michael (Irvine, CA, USA) This review is for a different format. |
