This compilation of single B-sides and remixes ensues with the upbeat "All Around me," which is unoriginal but not bland, per se. It takes a familiar melody and warps it into something new, and the lyrics are subtly more sophisticated than those of the average dance song. The next track is the album version of the #1 hit single worldwide, "Truly Madly Deeply," which is a more intimate, tender love ballad. Those first two tracks alone prove the duo's muscial range, as the songs vary in tempo, in melody, and in rhthym. One track is upbeat, the other slow, but not necessarily plodding. This serves as a good introduction to the band, and the very placing of the tracks is something at which to marvel, for each track is wildly diverse, even if a few are alternate takes of the tracks preceding them. Savage Garden experiments with everything from instrumentation to distortion of vocals, proving their eagerness to attempt something different, something new. Some of the tracks, unfortunately, are a little too mediocre and unoriginal for my tastes, hence the four-star rating. This is a good introduction to a great group.

After a demanding whirlwind ride of touring, publicity, video shoots, writing, and recording, Savage Garden has split up and both Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones are pursuing solo projects. I have spent four years of my life with their music and I will miss this creative, unique duo. Thank you for the many happy memories!

I love Savage Garden...at the time they came onto the music scene they were an unheard of group with an unusual sound...and now there are plenty of unreleased songs and remixes to collect. "TMD Remixes" features all of the single/B-side songs (Memories are Designed to Fade, Love Can Move You, This Side Of Me, Fire Inside the Man, I'll Bet He Was Cool, All Around Me) and remixes. However, there are two songs that are NOT on this collection: the B-side "I Don't Care" from their latest album "Affirmation" and "Mine," a song off the Australian self-titled debut. Buying this collection saves the serious fans the trouble of hunting down hard-to-find import singles--the best cuts are all here! There is one addition I would have liked...the "Tears of Pearls Tears on the Dancefloor Remix," but there's more than enough here to keep a Savage Garden fan happy for days (or weeks, or months....)

There is plenty of variety here, danceable beats, and a different side of Savage Garden to explore. This is a great CD, a perfect marriage of fun and serious music...too bad it wasn't released domestically, although I did have fun reading the Japanese cover and Japanese translations of the lyrics. If you're a serious Savage Garden fan or enjoy hearing different interpretations of a band's music, this album is for you. For all you musician fans of Savage Garden, check out their sheet music for "Savage Garden" and "Affirmation." Enjoy!

This album is a compilation of the best of the first Savage Garden album plus remixes and B-sides. I've had this album for years and it still the sound is still fresh and new. Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones found a way to take us out of the grunge era and brought us into the the light of intelligent lyrics and pounding beats-this was the perfect start to a too short career.

Although Darren and Daniel are now persuing solo carrers this album can help you remember the times that were. This cd also shows that all of their work is good not just 1 or 2 albums. This cd has 5 B-sides plus many mixes.

Two tracks worthy of special mention are Fire inside the man and TTMAB radio edit.

They are brilliant. The TTMAB edit is equally as good as the album version.

Best buy this beauty quickly as it is becoming quite rare.

I bought this CD a few days ago and when it came i went screaming through my house with pure joy. This single has the best tracks Daz and Dan could write. From ALL AROUND ME to TRULY MADLY DEEPLY you probably won't stop singin to these songs. This CD has all of the b-sides except for I DON'T CARE and MINE. So if you like love music or if you are a REALLY BIG FAN you should get this CD.

Any one who is a huge fan of Savage Garden must have this CD, I only wish I could have got it alot sooner. It has many B-sides not on any album plus remixes of songs like Truly Madly Deeply, To the Moon and Back, and I want you from the self titled release album. This album is a must have for anyone who is a die hard fan like myself!!!

I LOVE 'This Side of Me' and all of the other songs on this CD. Definatly worth getting. The TTMAB remix starts out very nice and 'is' a bit different than the original one..

If you really are a SG fan, this Cd is a must for you. I prefer this one to for example "Affirmation B-Sides", because there are so many unreleased tracks, which are awsome. For example, "Fire inside the man", "All Around Me", "Love can move you" and "Memories are designed to fade" are just great.

This CD is a little bit different from what you expect From SG, it's more rock and groovy;). The lyrics of unrealeased songs aren't that great, though,m also they are good as well. This Cd shows, how Savage Garden has developed during the years. Tha songs come from heart and they aren't too commercial. The only lack is that you can't find SG's best song "I Don't Care" from this CD, but hey, that's what "Affirmation B-tracks" or "Crash and burn" -single are for;)

In canada it's around 50 dollars.. but I think it's worth it if you're a fan. Anyways, there are very rare tracks in it. If you're collecting savage garden songs from the first album then this is your cd.

I ordered this CD for the b-sides, but now I love it for all the songs. The Dub Mix of TMD is so totally awesome. You can hear Darren saying "I love you". You can't hear that as well in the alum version, which is also great. I appriciate how Darren can share is real beliefs in I'll Bet He Was Cool. Most artists just right generic songs. This Side Of Me is one of my faves. You can hear emotion in Darren's voice. This is a must have to all SG fans!
