One of the tracks reminds me very much of Happy Rhodes, with the acoustic 12-string, e-bow and piano. (Dirk.Kastens@rz.Uni-Osnabrueck.DE) ExitRelease info:1998 Availability:Available in western Europe Comments:When I saw the rock chick on the cover I couldn't believe that this is Alice. Where are her long brown curls? And why this glitter dress? The music sounds very fresh and modern. Highlight is the track "Open Your Eyes", a wonderful duet with Morcheeba's Skye. If you like Morcheeba you should give this album a listen. (Dirk.Kastens@rz.Uni-Osnabrueck.DE) Thanks to Jens P. Tagore Brage for work on this entry.
