A Slightly Undiscovered Gem.......2007-05-23

I had heard the velevet voice of Alice Russell on other releases but never took the time to check out her own work. That was a big mistake on my part. I am completely seduced. I look forward to hearing all her CD's

Makes you glad to be alive.......2006-03-22

Alice's voice will blow you away. Her range, richness, power and fluidity combine with a real and gritty delivery in some songs, a rarified songbird purity in others. It's hard to characterize her style but I keep hearing, soul, jazz blues. I think it's her songs themselves that put her beyond a category. They are fresh, funny at times, highly original, and you want to sing along to them immediately. No two songs are alike in her repertoire, which is amazing considering she writes the songs as well as sings them. This CD was recommended to me last summer at a wonderful little CD shop in St. Tropez named Rapsodie (go visit). I go there every summer and buy approx 10 CDs based on their recommendations (and the sample tracks they play for me). This is the best discovery yet, out of many many "wins." Alice's next CD "My Favorite Letters" is, amazingly, even better than this one. Buy them both and play them for everyone you know. We need to get her stateside for some shows.

ALICE IS DEFINETLY FROM WONDERLAND. A MUST BY.......2006-03-05

I remember looking at this review online on www.dustygroove.com. so i logged on to another website to hear the songs. i was blown away by what i heard. i thought by hearing her voice that she was a black woman. but when I logged on to her website and saw her picture. i was like What a white girl. But she's from Britain or London. Over seas they dont see Soul music as "Black Music". They see Soul Music as just music. Over there you might see a black person sing heavy metal. The US is the only country that thinks in the "BOX". But I love this CD and that the fact she's a white girl that sings like a black woman is awesome. Love it, love it, love it!!!!!! Buy it. you can log on to www.groovedis.com or Tru-thoughts.com to listen if you dont believe me.

Heavenly voice, heart tearing songs, and great groove!.......2005-01-02

Alice Russel was performing lots during the years with the The Quantic Soul Orchestra where ive heard of her. this album is a sort of collection of her songs made during that time. but dont let it fool you. this is not some backsinger's trying to make it album but a great one, containing piece after piece of beautiful songs. Alice Russel definitely knows her way of singing from the depthes of black 70s soul and the friends helping here in there are making this album into an amazing, touching and soulful thing.

Just remixes and remakes and a few new ones but I can listen to this record straight for hours. Her voice so soulful and rich and the music is easy to groove too. I love all of Alice Russel music and this album is right up there with the rest.

Album Description

After the enormous success of My Favorite Letters, Alice Russell returns with a second collection of collaborations, remixes and alternate takes. Already established as a gifted vocalist and songwriter in her own right, the 13 tracks chosen for `Under The Munka Moon II' serve as a testament, not only to the breadth of Alice's appeal, but also to her versatility as an artist. Alice switches genres with natural grace and style, aided and abetted by her musical co-conspirators. Highlights include a certified future classic from the hugely popular Bugz In The Attic, who transform `Could Heaven Ever Be Like This' by Japanese electronica don Susumu Yokota into a funky broken beat number, perfect for those long summer nights. The Boub remix of `Hurry On Now' twists the original into a head-nodding, hip-swinging 80s inspired reggae number. Nu:Tone deliver an infectious, jazzy drum & bass roller while Bonobo and Wyndham Earl provide laid back, soulful gems. DJ Vadim's acclaimed hip hop re-rub of `A Fly In The Hand' makes a welcome appearance as does the incendiary Nostalgia 77 cover of `Seven Nation Army' by The White Stripes. Other collaborators include Unforscene, Natural Self and TM Juke. The album is also peppered with exclusive stripped-down live tracks, which breathe new life into Alice's own back catalogue. In particular, an acoustic cut of `Mean To Me' forgoes the horns and electronic glitz of the studio version for a seductive vaudevillian folk feel, perfectly tailored for the intimacy of smoky music-hall backrooms or twilight gypsy campfires.
