Watch out--talk about the ability to hook your emotions to the current events in your life...
Far better than "Alf"...
Strong ALL the way through...
Don't be driving or alone with ANY member of the opposite sex for "sleep like breathing"
I think her music really suffers from CD to mp3...
Out of the three albums of hers that i've heard all the way, this is BY FAR the best.

Too many five star reviews in here. But this one is really deserved. Alison Moyet has a rich and sultry voice which is not dimished by too much playing nor does her voice breed contempt through familiarity like every other female vocalist I can think of. This CD is a slice of my life and has seen me through more relationships and life changes than anything else I have in this existence.

In my dreams, Alison sings me to sleep. I'd give this one more stars if I could.

I never quite get people. I mean, what do you want? 'Album is dated,' 'Saddled with mid-eighties sounds.' Please people, get a clue! This album was recoded in mid-eighties and most albums from that time are riddled with synthed sounds, just like TV shows of that time are riddled with big hair and shoulder pads. Just like albums in the late nineties and early 00's are riddled with 'unplugged' and today's albums will be faulted as being 'too dry and bassey' in their sound. But they sell for their time and, hopefully, stay alive. Moyet's vocals are as great as ever in this as in any of her albums. Her dissatisfaction with the album may stem from her well known own insecurities as an artist. And what artist doesn't have such? The best always do.

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.

I love the ballads mostly. Shout out to Patti Austin who recorded her "Honey For The Bees" on her Gettin' Away With Murder album.
