The Turn

by: Alison Moyet

Release Date July 08, 2008
The Turn is an excellent piece of work from the talented Alison Moyet. Although quite different than her earlier work (Hoodoo, Essex, etc.), The Turn shows Alison's blusey voice and unique instrumentation. Can't Say It Like I Mean It is an amazing track and definitely a highlight of the album. The Sharpest Corner (Hallow) is another track that is often on repeat in the car. It starts off dramatic and builds from there. I hope folks enjoy the album as much as I do.

Alf

by: Alison Moyet

Release Date April 01, 2008
"Love Resurrection" has one of the finest instrumentations ever recorded. Blatting off with Moyet's voice, the synth-trumpet sails you into heaven. Swing your hips and understand that love comes in the form of a CD. This collection is great pop. As I've stated, "Love Resurrection" is the top track here. Followed by "Honey For The Bees" and "Twisting The Knife". Total fun with substance. Think Yaz(oo), with a Swain/Jolley injection.

Alison Moyet is a British vocal phenomenon, like a female Robbie Williams. She has a vocal sexiness that is betrayed by a weight problem, but her songs are well crafted and well sung, and you will not be able to get some of them out of your head. The suggestiveness of several lyrics will surprise some folks, but the four stars are real. Alison more than delivers.

Hometime

by: Alison Moyet

Release Date September 24, 2002
Before this CD, the only other album of Alison Moyet that I owned was her 1984 debut "Alf" which contained the brilliant ballad "All cried out".

I only came across this CD recently despite it having being released in 2002. Apparently her former label Sony didn't want it released as they feared for its commercial viability, so she released it on her own label.

Produced by The Insects (very cool name :-)) who have worked with Massive Attack, what we get are epic, cinematic ballads, Trip Hop, and even Dub with almost poetic lyrics. Opening cut "Yesterday's flame" is a brooding ballad which sounds like something you've heard before, only it's a new Moyet co-composition. The title track "Hometime" (with double bass, and an instrument ... Read More:

Raindancing

by: Alison Moyet

Release Date October 25, 1990
Moyet's voice is as sharp and innate as ever: However the sounds here are a bit dated. The production is the problem, not the material. There is a sense that the production team was trying a Jolley/Swain v/s Yazoo thing here. It doesn't work on every track. Had this album been acapella, I would have fainted, I know. "Blow Wind Blow" is simplistic and stands the test of time wonderfully. Bottom line - the tracks are dated. Moyet has stated that she didn't enjoy making this album, although she couldn't offer any specifics: I think I've found the specific - no truth to her craft.

The Essential

by: Alison Moyet

Release Date September 07, 2001
As one reviewer said, its almost a greatest hits. It is a greatest hits for those who don't know. It is lacking some of her really moving songs like "Blow, Wind Blow" and "Stay" from Raindancing. To me, Alison has always shined brighter in more ballad-like songs. I have been listening to her ever since I heard "Winter Kills" from Upstairs at Erics, nearly 30 yrs ago and her songs still move me.

Voice

Release Date September 06, 2005
Enya's music may be heard by some as celestial, after hearing this collection of songs, some may change their minds. Moyet's voice is out in front, albeit the music's playing, one's ears don't bend to that noise. I liken the "music" on this disc to the gold band that holds the flawless diamond in place. This is true nirvana: Thank you God.

Alison moyet was famous in the mid 80s thanks to the duo-band Yazoo and her following solo-career.
Have to say this compilation is sooooooo brilliant. Firstly, because of her voice. Although I believe she's an underrated singer, she has one of the most deep and soft voice in the female musical scenario.
Secondly, songs are very nice, a mix of pop style with lovely ballands and smash hits like ALL CRIED OUT, RESURRECTION, ALL IS LOVE and many others.
If you like her voice this is the best CD to buy. It is worth the money.

Ciao,
Enrico
