See also:Wikipedia's Alisha's Attic entry Comparisons:The Murmurs, Nields. (miazgama@pilot.msu.edu) General comments:Oh, wow...I really like Alisha's Attic. I mean, I know that everyone's tastes vary, but those girls really surprised me because I *do* like their music.... very much. I'm not usually into music that's even remotely cutesy, but something about Alisha's Attic's sound really appeals to me. They've been referred to as lite-goth. I don't know is really all that accurate a label, but there is something a little dark to their humor and I find their approach refreshing in this ever-growing arena of Sturm und Drang chanteuses.

Alisha Rules The WorldRelease info:1996—Mercury—534 027-2 Availability:Wide Ecto priority:Recommended for pop fans Group members:Shellie Poole—vocals, recorder Guest artists:Andy Wright, Paul Taylor & Gary Hughes—programming & keys Produced by:Dave Stewart Comments:There's not a song on Alisha Rules The World that I don't enjoy listening to. If you have a chance to check out their CD, do so. But, don't go into expecting heavy lyricism or multi-layered musical arrangement. These girls like to dance and they don't dwell on their neuroses.
