Her best album?

I like:
Nights In White Satin
I Will Not Run Away From You
Tell Me More
Will You Whisper?
My Invisible Shelter
You Are So Beautiful To Me

This CD is worth it.

For the avid fan only

This album is, well, not very good. The only reason I own a copy is because I have been a Sandra fan for so long. If your buying it for the enjoyment, try "Wheel of Time" or "Into A Secret Land" instead.

Incredibly beautiful music

Sandra has done it once again, releasing very beautiful music! It is a nice change from her earlier works from the 80's, which had mainly fast catchy dance beats and that 80's pop sound. Half the songs on Fading Shades are very soothing and mesmerizing for the soul. The other half are uptempo dance songs which unfortunately aren't that good.

The standout songs on this album are:

First Lullaby
Nights in White Satin
I Need Love '95
Will You Whisper

The background beats on these particular songs sound haunting yet dreamy. The beats have been slowed down a bit but still possess that upbeat sound. There is this dreamy atmospheric feel to all the songs. The music has that Enigma touch and feel to it as alot of her 90's work veered into that general direction. There is nothing in the U.S. that sounds like or can be compared to this wonderful music that Sandra has put out. It is definitely unique sounding!

The song "First Lullaby" is truly beauty beyond words. To me, it's the greatest song of her entire career. Overall, the music is very romantic and uplifting for the mind and spirit.
