This is a great synth pop album. It feels like a mix between New Order and Erasure. You'll just love as Answer Me starts out with a great synth sequence. I think Every Single Day is the best song of the album. It's very catchy and you get a remix as a bonus track. Where is love & happiness is one of those classic synth pop songs with a great combination of instruments. Hope is also a great song, it reminds me of Close to Me by The Cure.

"PEACE"WAS A POP MASTERPIECE SOME YEARS BACK. "HOPE"HAD THE SAME POTENCIAL,BUT FOR SOME REASON IT WASN'T,WHY?I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE BECAUSE IT WASN'T AS COMERCIAL AS "PEACE" THE SONGS IN "HOPE"ARE MORE MUSICAL CRAFTED THE LYRICS ARE MORE PERSONAL AND DEEP."BLUE LITTLE ROSE"&"HOPE"ARE SWEET AND ROMANTIC,"EVERY SINGLE DAY"(The remix,track 12)ITS A GREAT DANCE TRACK VERY HOUSE,WHILE THE ORIGINAL VERSION(track 4)ITS POP-ISH BUT WELL CRAFTED,"RISE"ITS ENERGETIC AND POSITIVE THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TRACKS,"LOVE AND HAPPINESS"THE ONLY MAJOR SINGLE FROM THIS ALBUM ITS VERY HAPPY AND ALSO A POSITIVE DANCE EXPERIENCE(look for this maxi-single that includes several mixes of "love & happiness" & "every single day"),"A MOMENT'S SHIFTING"ANOTHER GREAT SONG......BUY IT...PLAY IT...LOVE IT...

The Abox discography goes as follows:: Peace 1990 Worth 1991 Hope 1993 The Diary 1995 Mixology 1995 Elektrodelica 1997 Elektrospective 1999 Recovered (1999...? Hopefully!)

This is easily my second favorite album of all time. My first being Black Celebration by D.M., but that's another story. You will find yourself going back to this disc over and over. The songs just stick with you, and after listening to it as often as I have, every track evokes a fond memory of some event in my life. "A Moment's Shifting" and "Blue Little Rose" rule. This is what synth-pop is all about. If it only contained the track "World Without Love" from their "Worth" CD.....

I was trilled to have received the CD's of anythingb. But the CD. Skips in three songs. I don't think Im going to buy used anymore.

This album easily became one of my most favorite albums of all time. This is electronic music at it's finest - pulsating beats, melodic tunes, great lyrics. Anything Box is the greatest American synthpop.

The Peace CD in 1990 was awesome and now 9 years later Anything Box provides us with this meritorious CD. It gives the listener just what it is entitled....Hope....Hope that Anything Box will continue on with making great music into the next millenium. Anything Box Rocks!!!

For all synth-pop fans out there, there aren't many bands that actually have great songs to back them up. It's usually about showing off the technology being used or the cool keyboards they have. But this band plays from the heart. They just happen to use a lot of cool sounding gear. Break down the song to piano or acoustic guitar, and you'll see what I'm talking about. 'Hope' really shows the world what Anything Box is about. They are about keeping true to themselves. The album sounds like it was them calling all the shots which is why it sounds more personal. "Blue Little Rose" is a beautiful song with a great melody. "Answer Me" and "Happiness" are great dance songs that just make you feel good. "Every Single Day" gives you that "hope" that you've been needing. All the songs use cool rhythms and great sounds. Which is what synth pop is all about. If you liked 'Peace', their first album, you won't be disappointed with 'Hope'.

I love this CD, very melodic. I am a painter, and it is perfect music to paint to.

This CD is so great! It explodes with awesome synth and bass sounds, as well as slammin' drums. Claude and Dania's vocals once again are tops. Touching lyrics also. I especially enjoyed: "Blue Little Rose," "A Moment's Shifting," "Every Single Day"(with a re-mix included), "Answer Me," "Hope," etc. They are all fantastic! A very uplifting experience... PS-I still need to get the CD Worth...Can't wait!
