Many remixed CDs are mildly amusing at best. Sarah McLachlan's Bloom, on the other hand, is a showcase of world-class musicians reworking her timeless compositions to match their compelling styles, rather than just adding dance beats to pre-existing Sarah songs. The list of contributors to this collection is most impressive, likely to bring non-folk fans into her fold. Reggae legends Sly & Robbie have done some amazing dub-meets-downtempo work on "Train Wreck," arguably improving upon the original cut. DMC (of Run DMC fame) collaborates with Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas to turn out the very BEP-sounding track "Just Like Me," which is centered around McLachlan singing the chorus of "Cats In The Cradle." Famed South Asian DJ Talvin Singh has created a rich, tabla and sitar-infused take on the achingly beautiful "Answer," guaranteed to be a hit at yoga studios and aromatherapy shops everywhere. As far as the other songs are concerned, the majority are amped-up and turned into house music, especially Amsterdam legend Junkie XL's "World On Fire" and the (80's-esque driving beat of "Vox," mixed by Tom Middleton. Ironically, some of the best and brightest moments on Bloom occur when the strong cast of DJs and producers create compositions significantly different from McLachlan's masterful originals. The talent of Sly & Robbie, Talvin Singh, DMC, and Thievery Corporation alone make this album well worth acquiring. --Denise Sheppard

Just to let everyone know, I purchased this album through BMG and had no problem ripping it to my computer. Their vesion is apparently not content/copy protected. The best remixes on the album are "Vox" and "Stupid." Worst track is "Just Like Me," it just seems completely out of place and doesn't fit Sarah's style.
Not sure if everyone is listening to the same CD October 1, 2006

This is one of my favorite Sarah CD's. The dance mix is great. Between this and Afterglow, they are always being played and I have almost every single CD of McLachlan's. It is so refreshing that you can take your music and mix it up and appeal to another group of people. My friend is in the music business and has his own musicians for clients and he even brought this CD. I applaud Sarah McLachlan.
