Free Music Notes for So Beautiful Album
Free Music Review: Good mixes, a hip B-Side and a stellar title track make this one a must
Hit: 5 Stars
"So Beautiful" is one of two new tracks on the Savage Garden best of Truly, Madly, Completely, along with "California Home" (both penned by Darren, and not a collaboration with bandmate Daniel Jones as originally planned). There are three singles, one in Australia and two in England, that each feature non-album mixes and B-sides.
The So Beautiful Part 2 single features four tracks: 1. So Beautiful Spike's Radio Edit, 2. Something In The Sky, 3. Truly Madly Deeply Medley (Live) 4. So Beautiful Lee Groves Mix.
The Spike Stent mix is the track used in the "So Beautiful" music video, and has a bit more of a pronounced rock edge than the album cut, with a greater emphasis on electric guitar and marked percussion.
Something in the Sky is a B-Side that sounds like it came from Darren's first solo album Spin (2002), and is reminiscent of Crush (1980 Me) from Spin, with peppy vocorder effects.
Truly Madly Deeply Medley is from Darren's Too Close For Comfort Tour and combines I Knew I Loved You and Truly, Madly, Deeply in a live lovefest that's heavy on the falsetto and on the long side at seven minutes.
The Lee Groves So Beautiful mix features more of an electronic sound, with a New Age/chillout vibe that makes me want to light incense and whip out my yoga mat. It also plays up Darren's falsetto (never a bad thing) on the chorus by bringing the backing track to the front and making the chorus sound almost as though it was filtered through water.
For those of you looking for the So Beautiful Demo that was supposed to be released, it is available as a digital download from HMV Digital in the UK, but you have to be a UK resident (with a UK credit card) to download.
