Search - Sade :: Best of (Best of the Best Gold Edition)

European only Gold-Disc pressing is housed in a die-cut slip case, exposing the gold disc. The serene, understated quality of Sade's arrangements lend this Best Of Sade its classic touch of elegance. Delicate washes of percussion and acoustic guitar, the coiled intensity of Stewart Matthewman's tenor saxophone counterpoint, Andrew Hale's suave, elusive keyboard colorations, and Paul S. Denman's discretely dancing bass provide a maximum of smoke, but precious little fire. The simmering aftermath of Sade's music is as deceptively powerful as a mixed drink: smooth and sweet going down, but with a surprisingly potent kick. Features the same mastering and 16 tracks that grace the US edition. Epic. 2005.
