I bought this single just for Sweet Surrender. It is worth it. The remixes on this CD aren't great; they are truly repetitive and very boring. These remixes just give a different flavor to Sweet Surrender, and from my opinion, they destroy the integrity of the song.

I would recommend this single alone though for Sweet Surrender Radio Edit. The instrumentation and the re-editing much better than the Album Version. Sure, they might be subtle, but it is much better. Sarah's vocals are amplified in this version, meaning her vocals are much better heard than the Album version. There is much more dramatic impact in this version than the Album version. Also, this version of Sweet Surrender is used as the music video for this song.

This is a great single, only for Sweet Surrender. If you're a fan, and enjoy Sweet Surrender, I would recommend looking into this single. If you're a fan looking for a Sweet Surrender remix, I wouldn't recommend any of these (for sure these would not bee seen played during a club scene). But, if you want a remix version, I highly recommend Sweet Surrender Boilerhouse remix. That is by far the best remix.

This CD single deserves 5 stars alone for the Sweet Surrender Radio Edit. If you're a music listener and notice all the little details, I'm sure you would agree with me. This single would have done well just alone with the radio edit. Purchase if you are a true fan.

Sarah McLachlan's innocuous brand of girl-pop has enchanted many a sensitive girl with long hair -- but luckily on this single, her music gets roughed up a little. SWEET SURRENDER is given a drum 'n' bass mix by Roni Size. Stripped of most of its vocals, his mix is atmospheric, slightly mysterious. But the mix to go to is the Uberzone mix, which situates Sarah's angelic voice and lyrics in some funky 80s breaks, making for some incredibly bouncy fun. Forget the navel-gazing; let's boogie!

I stumbled upon Sarah McLachlan because of her beautiful voice in the movie City of Angels. What can I say, I'm a true blue fan now. You won't be disappointed with Sweet Surrender. The rhythm and beats in these mixes are very tastefully done -not to mention smooth and certainly groovy. Good enough to start dancing and singing along to. Excellent vocals and a great energetic song. Go get it!

I think that Sarah Mclachlan's cd surrfacing is a treat because you can relate to it on a different level of enjoyment. If one can feel the pain or the happiness I think that it will help you enjoy the songs.

What more can a person say? The different versions of Sweet Surrender, from the CD Surfacing, have been craftingly remixed with a catchy beat and various techno sound effects. Sarah's voice has been slightly tweaked, as well. You'll want to turn up the volume knob for this danceable CD-single.

This cd was a gift to me this week from a friend in Canada (where incidentally its not an import). It contains the album version of "Sweet Surrender" as well as 5 other re-mixed versions. They range from Roni Size's two drum and bass re-workings which lend themselves to her voice so well its astounding, to the more tame but equally interesting breakbeat mixes from Uberzone. If you appreciate good drum and bass or breakbeat, this is a great single. And as well for Sarah McLachlen fans....she has used her discretion well. No surprise there...just some great new beats.

I am a huge fan of Sarah McLachlan and always will be, though one area she's weak in is her choice of b-sides for her singles. Not surprisingly, Sarah provides us with 5 remixes of the same song, and it grows quite tiresome. The radio mix of the song is great, placing a higher emphasis on her gorgeous voice, though the same cannot be said for the dance remixes. Sarah's songs nor her voice are suitable for a dance remix. Can you honestly say it's enjoyable to hear her say "Sweet Surrender" over and over? Whenever Sarah releases another album, I hope she puts some amazing b-sides on her singles.
