3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but not quite there...., September 14, 1998

By A Customer

I've been an Eddie Reader fan since her Fairground Attraction days. I have to admit, although there are a few delights here (title track included) it's a little vauge. I would go for the previous CD, which is cunningly called "Eddie Reader" which has the fantastic tracks "Right Place Now" and "Patience of Angels". I would strongly recommend you check out her offering on the Batman Forever OST, which is one of the best tracks on the CD, "Nobody Lives Without Love", which has an unusually dark flavour. And I think you'll find the title is Candy Floss, not Gloss!

Cheers

Gavin.

5.0 out of 5 stars All I can say is WOW., November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Candyfloss and Medicine (Audio CD)

I just picked this up from Amazon.com after nearly disintegrating my Fairground Attraction CD from repeated play. All I can say is WOW...what an amazing recording. Eddi Reader clearly has one of the most remarkable voices I've ever heard...every song is like a lover's embrace, every phrase like a soft breeze that wraps you in its gentle touch. Whew...

Buy it now. Now. NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Her voice is simply MAGIC, April 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Candyfloss and Medicine (Audio CD)

Eddi Reader is an excellent, if not the best singer in the world. Any song she sings, she turns it into an incredible experience. I can't think of no words to describe with justice, the way she makes every musical note a magical moment.
