Morning Dove White

Amazon.com
This Scottish trio offers the most commercial expression yet of the current U.K. obsession with spacey ambient "chill out" music, as practiced by The Orb and Sven Vaith, among others. While much of the dragged-out, slow-paced material here suggests Bananarama on downers, the Stephen Hague remixes of, "Breakdown" and "White Love" say their piece and sign-off quickly. --Jeff Bateman

This, Anonymous 4's final recording, is a break from their usual "early music" periods and locations; it presents American music, religious in nature, from the 18th and 19th centuries. And it's absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Their normal, exquisite technique and purity here blend to sound the way we imagined the ladies' choir in church meetings in America past might have sounded: sweet, sincere, and with harmonies recognizable yet somehow fresh. Some of the songs begin with the women singing "fa, so la" exercises, which was called "shape note" singing because some places taught singing with notes as shapes--circle, rectangle, diamond, triangle. But it's the music that counts, and there are treasures here. They include two versions of "Amazing Grace," one familiar, one with an unusual melody and a piece called "Blooming Vale" which is as sophisticated as anything on their previous albums. "Shall We Gather at the River" is performed with a clarity and loveliness that makes us forget that it's normally sung as background to movies about the Great Depression. The foursome sometimes sing in rich harmonies and occasionally alone or in pairs or trios. This is glorious Americana and highly recommended. --Robert Levine

spiritual americana.......2007-01-06

I have some of the older Anonymous 4 recordings which are more medieval
and gregorian in style (I love them!). They move on to cover spiritual
basics of the 1800s. If you like classical music, perfect harmonies
and spiritual americina, then you will be blessed!

Rich Heritage.......2006-10-11

Anonymous 4 consistently produces exquisite and authentically beautiful recordings and this one presents early American hymns in ways few groups can manage. Some tunes are highly recognizable while others are 'new' to me but a refreshing reminder of the singing heritage of religious societies in times past. For those who enjoy old hymns and authentic renderings, this is a must buy.

Superb .......2006-08-07

This collection of American Christian music is not only an enthralling musical experience but a spiritually uplifting one as well. Anonymous Four have transferred their luminous vocal quality to a new space with perfect success.

Can't walk away from it!.......2006-08-07

My only "complaint" about the CD is that I absolutely HAVE to sit and listen to the entire thing whenever I start it up! I usually have music playing in the background while doing other things, but not this one! There are no tracks that I find myself wanting to skip over as in most collections. In fact, I usually find myself going back and listening to selected tracks again (and again and...) after taking the hour+ to listen to the whole thing through once.

These four ladies produce a unique and remarkable sound. I can't recommend it enough.

Mana from Heaven.......2006-05-08

I think the title of this CD is perfect. I first heard an interview for this CD on Public Radio and fell in love. I had never heard Anonymous 4 before then but look for all I can find of their music now. The title is perfect as the women sound like Angels and the music lifts the spirit. I find myself singing the old version of Amazing Grace all the time now. Incredible and a huge blessing to all who hear it.

the great unknown.......2007-07-13

I fell in love with this CD the first time I ever heard it. After this, I desperately waited for the follow up album, but low and behold it never came. Unfortunately, the band never got the audience it so rightly deserved, and they went their separate ways. Now I really like Dot Allison's solo work, but it just isn't One Dove.

If you ever get the chance to hear this CD, you must. It is such a wonderful blend of good beats with great atmosphere. It isn't run of the mill like all the "electronica" (oh how I hate that word) that was big at the time of this release, so it is a pleasant experience. I guess the closest comparison I could give to this CD is Lamb. If you like Lamb, I think you will definitely like this CD. A lost treasure!

Splendid.......2006-10-17

This album represents what came out of the British post-rave scene at its best. This is the only record that One Dove would make but what a record. It has been described as the perfect come-down record by everybody and I suppose it really is. In that sense it is very different from the acid music it is supposed to follow. It is almost the masterpiece that many pretend Screamadelica is. Dot Allison would go on to an interesting solo career but this record is splendid: the laid back playing really suits her smooth voice.

Dreamy Classic.......2005-09-20

I first bought this CD when it first came out years ago, and I listened to it constantly. The music is spacey but not weird, it packs a punch, and Dot Allison's voice is heavenly. During one of my many moves, this disc went missing and I've hunted high and low for it in record shops everywhere. Don't bother with itunes or MSN music, you can probably only find it used online, but it is well worth hunting down. It can function as sex music, nap music or background mood music.

sheer beauty.......2004-04-19

One of my favourite albums of all time. Unbeleivable that this was as overlooked as it was. It's over 10 years old, and still sounds unique and fresh -shame they split up before releasing another album. As much as I like Dots solo releases, they just haven't yet reached (IMHO) up to this seminal piece of work.

Brooding, Eerie, Stylish, Autumnal Electronica................2003-10-30

Thanks to a Recommendation from a friend, this sparkling album is an gradually unfolding emotional envelope of blissful Electronica/Alternative Dance/Ballads & slight Dub. Heartfelt singer `Dot Alison' is the shining vocalist in this inspired collection of Shimmering World music influences "(The Transient) Truth", epic guitar noise "White Love (Guitar Paradise Mix)", and melancholic piano ballads "White love (Piano Reprise)", all sonically linked by a rich production, and an approach to each song, by starting most tracks with percussion instrumentals, and gradually & slowly building and texturing the sound with swathes of sonic colour, until progressing into fully fledged full blown songs of epic structure. But unfortunately the band were to split before recording a follow-up (with producer `Andy Weatherall' pursuing a lucrative producer career, and singer `Dot Alison', releasing a solo album in 1998), so this is your only chance to discover what could have possibly been a defining act of the 90's. and for those that enjoy this album should consider buying singer 'Dot Alison's' solo album.

You will not hear your favorite waltzes played by anyone anywhere, not Vienna, New York, Philadelphia, London, Paris, Amsterdam, or any place else. Trust me all waltzes are absolute Gems. There was only one orchestra/conductor with the heart and arrangements to bring out the majesty, joy, and heart touching best from these beautiful compositions.
