5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding cd-single, February 19, 2002

By

This review is from: All You Want (Audio CD)

All You Want, the latest cut off Dido's multi-platinum hit No Angel is a great song that makes for an even more interesting single. Released in December of last year in England, this import single is packaged in a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch slipcase, holding a jewel case approximately the same size, and contains a disk even smaller at three inches in diameter. (Don't worry, despite its small size the disk fits/plays in most cd players and CD-rom drives. Additionally, it's quite convenient and a space saver; would have made a great stocking stuffer during Christmas.) Despite the disk's diminutive size, it contains 19 minutes, 45 seconds of music spread over four tracks, three of which are different versions of "All You Want" and a very rare track, "Christmas Day":

1. All You Want (4:03) This song, is one of the best I've heard in a long time. It starts out a little slow, like most of Dido's songs, but then by the middle picks up. Talking of a relationship where Dido was obviously taken for granted, she wonders if her boyfriend realizes that all he wanted was "right here in that room...sitting here with you." Captivating in its simplicity and message, I think we can all relate to its theme.

2. All You Want: Divide & Rule Remix (7:17) Unlike many remixes out there, this song actually does justice to All You Want. While I prefer the classic version (track 1), this song picks up the beat and adds in some of the less unobtrusive elements of techno.

3. All You Want: Live (4:13) Complete with clapping and a "thank you" at the end by Dido, this live version of All You Want, is quite a find. It's always interesting to see how an artist's voice differs from in the studio to on the stage. Dido's voice is just a crisp and clear live, as well as passionate, if tempered by reflection.

4. Christmas Day (4:03) A festive song about returning on Christmas Day, this is a perfect piece for the holiday season, but versatile enough to listen to all year round. Written by Dido, it's a tender ballad with perfectly timed instrumentation. This song is not featured on her album or any other singles, so it's quite a nice addition to this single.

As a fan of Dido and her great music, I recommend this single for its unique packaging and great music.

I won't spend too much time writing about this CD because Bryan Bradford gave it such a great review better than what I could have. It is a great CD and I am quite happy to have it. I got my copy on Wednesday, April 2, 2003. It's unique and sure to become quite the collectors item especially since it is a limited edition item. I just love that it's a cute little 3" CD with the blue slipcase. Be sure to get your copy while they last! Thanks and take care!

This is Dido's best song from NO ANGEL, such an disarming and heartbreakin' ballad , this is what music is all about, a great song, qwith great lyrics and music, a total pleasure listening to this!, why this got promoted on the AMERICAN SIDE I won't get it?, but at least for us true fans of music this is an underdiscover hit!...better than THANK YOU AND HUNTER!
