20th August:
OK, some majour news for you! Heres what Darren had to say
in a promo interview on channel V news: "The album's called Affirmation.
You know I'm stll getting to know it because I just finished it around
3, 4 days ago. I loved it, I'm very proud of it, a very personal record,
it's a very emotional record, and I'm very impressed with it. And um...it's
pretty much of a snapshot of...lyrically at least, my life for the last
12 months, in terms of sound and direction. You know we've been listening
to a lot of really morbid stuff, Massive Attack, a lot
of Brtish kind of electronica, and initially we thought the album's gonna
sound like that ...and we met Walter and it kind of changed. It's much
more of guitar heavy than we um... originally kind of thought it would
be, but it's very intricate lot's of very tiny parts. The entire collection
of songs is a bit of a journey, it's not always upbeat, it's
kind of beutifully sad but's truly positive." Also, check

14-track CD inc bonus track: Animal Song Remix plus exclusive enhanced
material for PC use feat behind the scenes footage & Affirmation recording

15th August:
Well, another few changes going on in this site... first
of all, it features a spiffy new easy-to-make -sence-of discography.
It features almost all of the singles released, along with their various
tracklistings, which vary from area to area (which makes this job very
annoying). Any additional entries will be made in the next few weeks in
order to make it a comprehensive list of all the cd's savage garden has
released. You may also have noticed that I have gotten rid of the 'entry'
page, so you go straight to the mainpage. The Anne Rice quote has been
moved to the
history section.
10th August:
Yay! Another update from Leonie on the official
savage garden site!! We have a name for the first single: 'I
knew I loved you'. "I knew I loved you is a pure, sweet,
simple ballad about the soulmate you are yet to meet. You know they are
out there, and you know that sort of love exists... but you are yet to
find it (and you are happy to wait for it.. )." The single is due for radio
airplay the first week of September, and for commercial release the
week after. It may or may not feature a remix of it by Daniel Jones! Unfortunately,
Affirmation
has been pushed back to November the 2nd, with Australia and Japan possibly
getting it a week earlier...
9th August:
Ive just revamped the savage garden affirmation mainpage
(already!) and added added an articles

files of 'to the moon and back', 'carry on dancing', 'tears of pearls',
'I want you', 'truly madly deeply', 'a thousand words', 'break me shake
me' and 'santa monica'! most of them have multiple versions, so take a
look. I hope to add a few more multimedia links soon, so stay tuned!

19th July:
VH1 is again repeating it's Best of the 90's pop Hard Rock
Live on Saturday July 24 at midnight, eastern time. Savage garden perform
'truly madly deeply'
13th July:
Well, the latest fanzine has been released and theres a ton
of news about savage gardens soon to be released second album! First of
all, we know that the title will be affirmation. You can view an
early promotional poster here. The recording
has been completely finished, and the mixng and promotional stages are
on their way. The release date has been unfortunately pushed back to October.
A second single will soon be released. It is unknown if it will be the
apparent song called "the best thing", since Darren said "Its changing
daily" and Daniel said "There are four possible options. We will decide
which one we should go with while the album is getting mixed". The only
other song that is known, other than 'the animal song' is 'two beds and
a coffee machine', which is a ballad. So far, there are 13 songs for the
album, and two b-sides waiting to be used. The album has carried through
on earlier reports of a more electronic feel, features some live pianos,
strings and some incredible electronic beats. "The pop is very pop and
the ballads are very sad. Theres only one song that has elements of trip
hop. Its not so much a record about music fashion as opposed to song writing.
Its definitely a different style of song writing on this record. At first
glance, its probably going to look like quite a sad album. Theres a lot
of heartache on there, but overall Its a very positive record. Its about
getting through and living through difficult situations and coming
pout on the other side. If anything, the animal song is like the happy
ending to the album". Walter Afanasieff is producing (co producer of the
animal song) and Michael Landau (Seal, Celine Dion) is on guitars and Nathan
East (Babyface, Eric Clapton) is on bass. I'll let you know when I know
more!
