5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, August 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Colour Me / Message Personnel / Tomorrow Never (Audio CD)

I have been waiting for this for years. Every since I heard One Dove broke up, I have been anxiously awaiting anything from Dot Allison. I was a little worried it would just be another studio album, but if this single is consistent with the forthcoming album, the wait was worth it. Colour Me is great. The bass line is very 'One Dovish.' Message Personnel is great too. Interesting vocals. There is a lot of potential for remixing with the vocals on that song. Tomorrow Never Comes sound slike something from the Twin Peaks soundtrack. Nice song. The only fault with the single is the song Melted. It's a b-side, so I guess it serves it's purpose, but it's a little too synth pop for me (which is strange because none of the other songs sound anything like that.) Overall it's a great single and I cant wait for the album.

This is an incredible preview of what will probably be a fabulous album as well. Dot sounds sort of Portishead-y, sort of Saint Etienne-ish. Lovely vocals, dreamy, trippy. Highly recommended!

Very interesting...reminds me of the vocals from particular tracks off the french electro-pop artists AIR's album, "Moon Safari". Allison's voice can be girlish sweet, impishly angst-ful, and somewhat smokey-jazz-lounge-ish as well, when called upon. With the full release arriving in a few weeks, she should fare quite well in the indie and college markets.
