"'A New Beginning' fuses contemporary adult pop, with folk and rock music to create a soulful and uplifting sound. Both Trish and Dave share vocal responsibilities, with the former playing sax and flageolet while the latter concentrates on guitars and synthesizer. All the songs on the album are self compositions … that will reveal different aspects of their rich and varied sound.
Right the Wrongs is the album's opening number and is a fine catchy track. Take note of the powerful and complimentary vocal styles and some effective jaunty flageolet playing as the song unfolds. After hearing it, you are sure to understand why Sahara are as equally popular in folk and rock circles. The title track follows and has an optimistic lyric with a universal message of hope. It is the quality of songs such as this that The Age referred to when saying "Their inspirational music .... is a celebration of hope dreams and love". The Promise…immediately you are aware of Trish and Dave's Irish roots and this melancholy instrumental is a sublime piece of music". Woven Wheat Whispers UK.
"a fervently Irish flavour but the soulfulness is universal" West Australian.
"There are a few moments when the softer edged rock comes out, none more exceptional than the opener 'No Man's Land' which is a great track & well placed at the head of the album, though I'm more partial to the band's more pop/jazz oriented styles, such as 'You're My Lover' & 'Higher Than High'..." hEARd Emag.
“...Dave's rock vocals are tremendous...the sax playing is to die for and if this album doesn't get your feet tapping you must be stone deaf or dead...IBL UK.
"Their music, a folk/jazz/pop hybrid, is mature, professional, and reaches across a broad audience on an international level..." HotBands USA.
"their inspirational music, a tidy blend of folk, rock and soul is a celebration of hope, dreams and love" The Age.
"Bright optimism jumps right out of this disc" Adelaide Advertiser.
"A unique blend of rock, folk, jazz and classical make vision a must for Irish music lovers" The Advertiser.
"this album is one worth adding to your collection" The Border Mail.
“Sahara is what I call "organic music", with earthly aural tones of honesty, beauty, driving a very Celtic feel within all tunes on Vision. Dave has an almost eerie "Sting" feel to his vocals, whilst Trish's singing is very akin to the very popular and respected Ellen Foley. This is a great CD for an empowering efficacious effect with each and every listen.” Late Nite TV USA.
‘There is this place I go is the fourth CD that Sahara has released. It’s a reflection on a different kind of journey than the last CD ‘A New Beginning’ which was the result of songs written while on various concert tours around Australia. This latest journey is more to do with ‘still life’ rather than motion. It’s birth is the long road to healing which is familiar to anyone who has been with someone or who themselves have been visited by ill health. We tend to take our health and abilities for granted but every so often we get reminded of our vulnerabilities and our reliance on others in ou hour of need. It is then that we truly realise that we are not on our own. As we go through the process of healing into health and being musicians we can’t help but continue to write songs. The result is this album which is an eclectic mix of songs that we hope you enjoy as much as we have enjoyed writing and recording them.
