This cd is absolutely faboulus with great songs like Limelight and Bonnie's touching rendition of Making Love Out Of Nothing At All which reduced me to tears and still does because it is so beautiful and defenately one of the best songs she ever recorded.Not to mention Bridge Over Troubled Water where Bonnie totally come into her own.I can not believe that due to the lack of promotion by East West records this album missed high placings in the charts.Both Making Love Out Of Nothing At All and Bridge Over Troubled Water had the potiential to achieve high placings in the European as well as the American Charts and East West totally missed the boat here and let Bonnie down big time.Shame on them!!!!!!!!
The only song I could have gone without is Sexual Device but everything else on this cd is fabulous and the cd is a total must for every serious Bonnie Tyler Fan.

After enjoying Bonnie Tyler's previous work, I was lucky to find this rare album. When I listened to this, I realized that Bonnie has not lost one bit of her magic. Her voice has somewhat become deeper with age, but that suits these tracks perfectly. Her voice has deep emotion and passion. The songs are mostly ballads with her usual "pop-rock" style. "Making Love (Out of Nothing At All)" reminds me of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." And some rock songs such as "Driving Me Wild" is reminiscent to "Hide Your Heart." Overall, I would highly recommend this to rock fans, or a Bonnie Tyler fan. It's a shame that her albums are hardly recognized here in the United States, because she is just as good as back in the days of "Faster Than the Speed of Night."

It's a pity Bonnie Tyler fell off the face of the earth as far as this country's concerned. I dig that husky voice of hers and I just genuinely enjoy the songs she sings.

Sure, this one wasn't one of her massive hit albums. But it still rules. I can't get enough of this one. What I really love is how there's so many different styles of music on this album. From pop ("Making Love," "Nothing to Do With Love") to elegant Broadway-ish ballads ("Forget Her") to straight-ahead, hard-charging metal ("Driving Me Wild") to disco (her cover of Meat Loaf's "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad"). Yet, somehow, despite this all-over-the-map approach, "Free Spirit" never once sounds like a mishmash. Everything's well done and every song fits. I'd almost go so far as to call this a perfect album.

This is a pretty good album, even though it lacks the sound that really launched her career in the 80s. I think it should have more piano sounds than synthesizers. I must say however that (making love) Out of Nothing at All is a great song by Air Supply, but Bonnie's voice is far more powerful in my opinion. It is the extended version and boy is it ever worth it. Her take on "2 out of 3 ain't bad" sends her in a new direction. I found that meat Loaf's version was great, but this upbeat one is just as good. It gives it a new life. In my opinion, a great album for the 90s. Her best 90s album!

This album is definately one of the best I have heard from Bonnie in a while. Her heart wrenching version of Bridge Over Troubled Water is one of her most emotional ballads. She pours her heart in a song like no one else does. You're the one is also another great love song to add to her collection. The unbelievable talent on Making Love (Out of Nothing at All) does not even need to be mentioned. This album is marred by only an occasional, "let's skip that song." That is only because of the song itself is a bad selection. Bonnie Tyler proves herself again on this album, and it is definately one to add to your collection.

I really enjoy two cover versions on this album. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is emotional but not over wrought. "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" is just as or even more powerful than Air Supply's version.

Bonnie Tyler is back, and indeed better than ever, her hit "Faster Than The Speed On Night" was an album the almost could never be matched but the comeback kid gave everyone what they wanted another professional album and indeed she gave it her all.

The loyal fans of Bonnie Tyler will love this comback album. It is either loved or hated, I am one who felt this album is grest to add to your collection. She returned to her old form and NOT the one hit wonder with "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" that she had been labled by her rivals.

Bonnie gets back to more raunchy tunes, after being produced by German producers that geared her towards something that was a bit more middle of the road. It is not as good as "Faster than the Speed of Night", but it is worth putting an ear into it. "Making Love" is a must-hear and "Make it right tonight", shows off her tremendous voice. "Two out of Three ain't bad" has not much left from the original version, but it still is very good. There is no other one like Bonnie. Be on the look-out for "All in One Voice".

Bonnie Tyler has an extraordinary voice. This album is not for everyone, in this album she experiments by showcasing her vocal talents in various ways. I think you'd have to be a true fan in order to appreciate it.
