5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, December 2, 2001

This review is from: First of a Million Kisses (Audio CD)

"First Of a Million Kisses" is my go-to album when someone asks me to name my favorite. Others come and go, but this music is timelessly inviting. Edie Reader's voice is enchanting, and Mark E. Nevin's guitar sounds are sublime. "Kisses" blends folk and acoustic pop with a dash of jazz into a mix that is warm, intimate, and wonderfully listenable. This is the sort of music that will make you want to take the hand of the one you love and invite them to dance on your living room floor. At the very least, this music will make you slow down and smile, and take deep, satisfied breaths. And afterwards, life might seem to contain more wonder than it did before you listened.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars just isn't enough for this glorious recording, October 3, 1999

This review is from: First of a Million Kisses (Audio CD)

I picked this disc up after catching a fleeting glimpse of "Perfect" late one evening on VH-1. What a wonderful surprise it was--and is! Words simply cannot begin to describe the power and beauty of this recording. One of the finest things I have ever heard; I recommend it wholeheartedly. Eddi Reader's voice is simply remarkable and the subtle arrangements only add to its power. A final note: I've recommended this to a few people, and all of them have come away with unusually strong (overwhelmingly positive) feelings about this particular disc. Anyone with a taste for great music can't help but enjoy it. Now, quit reading and BUY THIS DISC NOW! I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eddi Reader is Perfect!, June 3, 2000

I was first made aware of Fairground Attraction when their first single was released. Most people have heard "Perfect". After all, it was the theme of the 1988 Seoul Olympics. So I bought the album and got a major surprise. Every single track was brilliant. Eddi Reader's voice is a powerful instrument. She has a range that would put an opera diva to shame and a style that seems to come from a fusion of Jazz, Blues and Celtic tones. This CD is one for all those people that want to listen, cry and laugh.
