介紹
與《Fly》專輯不同的是,《Dive》在世界各地均有發行,而 《Fly》專輯同樣是在德國製作,但是出版初期僅僅在歐洲發行,所以,至今知道這張專輯存在的人並不多,而欣賞過的則更是鳳毛麟角。筆者當時亦是通過各種途徑,最終以相當高的價格購得該張專輯的原版(德國版)。時間推進到2000年左右,HMV才引進著作權,在北美發行出售。
專輯所表現出來的不同,從專輯封套上便可以領略到。在 Sarah Brightman 之前或者在這之後的所有專輯中,封套照片要么是古典唯美,要么就是歌劇中的藝術形象。而 Fly 專輯中所展現的是 Sarah Brightman 極為野性的形象:全黑色的緊身皮裝,站在一幅巨大的蜘蛛網前,張開雙手,撒開五指,猩紅的眼白,殺氣萬般,十足十的蜘蛛女郎。
專輯收錄了12首歌曲,部分歌曲曲調鬼魅飄逸,令人遐想萬千。再次令人領略了德國著名的製作人Frank Peterson 的非凡功力。與 Dive 專輯相同, Frank Peterson作曲或者參與作曲了專輯中的11首歌曲。
主題
其實這張專輯的主題是一隻蒼蠅,莎拉將自己比喻成一隻叛逆的蒼蠅,對這個世界充滿著不滿,從歌曲的歌詞也可以看出。
