Do bear in mind though that Elkie is understated in her style, perhaps the kind of singer you would relax to in a jazz club.
I think that despite her having a very successful career that because she was competing against an explosion of disco, pop and new wave music in the 1970s and 1980s that her talent was a little over lo...more |

Some excellent covers, a decent track list, brings some more variety to a neglected genre 
Some covers are well below par Varied, well executed, moving and atmospheric Drums can sound a little flat and tinny during faster sections Moving, relaxing, varied, Builds upon its predecessor while adding new elements NoneClutch - Clutch
Grunge - 2002
Boys Don't Cry - The Cure
Replaces mundane material with stronger singles. Pointless for those who own the UK version.
Candi Staton - Candi Staton
Lots of soul, flawless sound, amazing voice. Not many...
Cloven Hoof - Cloven Hoof
Original NWOBHM with a satisfying occult focus. 'Crack the Whip' is the compulsory offering of bland hard rock.
Class War - Wisdom in Chains
A powerful album of hard hitting music. The songs all sound very much the same.
Born In The Uk - Badly Drawn Boy
Unique acoustic sound that is a delight to the ears None- this is Mr.Gough at what he does best.
Come Morning We Fight - Brigade
Confidence And Consequence - Too Pure To Die
An excellent album of energetic hardcore punk music. The music may be a little too fast and heavy for some.
Concert - The Cure
Fine selection of material from the first five albums. Brief at only ten tracks.
Box Of Secrets - Blood Red Shoes
An album you will not be able to stop playing. The wait for the next album!!
