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

5 out of 5 stars Man, what a time..........2005-09-19

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.

2 out of 5 stars light weight.......2004-09-03

Compared to her work with Yazoo and her later solo work, this is empty, vapid and unfortunately saddled with that mid-eighties sound ( the preset synth sounds, the gated drums, etc etc.) For completists and serious fans only.

3 out of 5 stars Not her best.......2001-10-15

Although it does contain some good tracks,this is one of those albums you wonder what could have been.If you are not a Alison Moyet fan than i say skip it.You can get the best parts of this cd of Singles.This album suffers from bad son writing.Alison went from New Wave (or something like it) to pop.I think they really were just trying to break out in the states.Also this is pretty much a reproduction of ALF.Of course no one could ever capture the magic that was on Alf.

5 out of 5 stars Best of my collection.......1999-08-28

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.
