Every once in a while, you'll hear a band on the radio and immediately know that they will end up being a one hit wonder. Escape Club, for instance. Crash Test Dummies is one of those bands. Their one big hit from their second album, the strangely Titled "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", introduced rock to the sound of a true bass lead singer, Brad Roberts. They were different, which made them successful, and which made them obsolete very quickly. But this is actually a pretty great album. Every song is an adventure, and even though it got old on the radio, Roberts voice just makes everything sound...smarter. The songs are terrific..."Afternoons & Coffeespons", the title track, and everything else deserved a better fate than it got. Nobody had ever sounded like the Dummies...and no one has since. Thus, a unique band, and one worth hearing.

It didn't help matters that their next album was terrible. But in 1993, these guys were awfully good. The album is still cool today...although it's also long forgotten.

1993 – NETTWERK
Produced By PIERRE MARCHAND

1. Possession
2. Wait
3. Plenty
4. Good Enough
5. Mary
6. Elsewhere
7. Circle
8. Ice
9. Hold On
10. Ice Cream
11. Fear
12. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

I must start by admitting that I have a big soft spot for Sarah McLachlan. It’s not because she’s beautiful (she is). It’s not because of her almost suicide inducing commercial spots for saving the animals. And it’s not because she’s Canadian. Sarah McLachlan has a rare gift…she understand how to make gentle music without coming across as sappy or over the top (yes…”Angel” is the exception to that rule). Yes, she does occasionally rock it out a little (“Hold On”, which was a hit on this album, for instance). But the best moments of Sarah McLachlan’s career, and the best moments from her third album, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, are those that she approaches with grace. She was already a star in Canada, but this album made her a star everywhere else, and it remains her finest work. “Good Enough” and “Possession” were, along with “Hold On”, hits for McLachlan.

Fumbling Towards Ecstasy contains enough upbeat material to make her big in the States, but it’s ultimately her softer side, as always, that will win you over. She shows off her range on tracks like “Fear”, but her biggest assets are her songwriting skills and her gentle approach to her singing. And that she is able to do it without pushing herself over the edge of becoming boring is exceptional. She has managed varying degrees of success over her career, but Fumbling Towards Ecstasy remains her gem. This is a solid yet fragile collection of sometimes perfect, sometimes not so much performances, but the important thing here is that you do get a healthy does of what makes her such a special talent. She’s made six records since this one, each one very good…but it’s Fumbling Towards Ecstasy that remains her best work.
