Product Description
Album Description
In 1985 All About Eve release their first single, Sounds journalist Chris Roberts compares singer Julianne Regan to Kate Bush and describes the song as "a gouache Baltic ballad with stirring vocal interplay and a heart like a dynamometer." Their Second single 'In The Clouds' is released to unanimous critical acclaim. It's named Single Of The Week in Sounds. The next single 'Our Summer' is awarded Single Of The Week in Melody Maker. In 1987,All About Eve sign a deal with music industry giants Phonogram and set about writing and recording their first album. The album goes double gold, selling in excess of a quarter of a million copies in a short space of time. It also spawns five hit singles, including the haunting acoustic ballad 'Martha's Harbour' which goes Top Ten and spends over two months in the Charts. From such an incredible start the band eventually split in 1992
In 2000 the band reform and perform a sell-out Christmas 2000 show at London's Union Chapel. In December 2001, they repeated their sell-out of the Union Chapel, which looks like becoming an annual event.
They did an electric tour of the UK in May 2002. Cinemasonic is a live album recorded during that tour showcasing songs from which will appear on their first studio album for a decade. That line-up included Rik Carter on keyboards (ex-Mission) and Del Hood on drums.
To promote this album the band are to embark upon a UK tour from April 3rd through to May 3rd.

This is a live recording from All About Eve's 2002 tour. If you are a big fan of the band, then you will definitely want this CD. It's very much a warts and all record of a gig - the sound quality is pretty poor, and mistakes and squeals of feedback are retained. But in a way that adds to the feeling of really being there.
The best thing for the fan however are the 5 new songs: for me the standouts are the opening 'Let Me Go Home' and 'Daisychains'. There are powerful versions of 'Phased' and 'I Don't Know' from the criminally underrated Ultraviolet album, and a great cover of 'Life On Mars'. If there is a criticism, it's that the overall pace of the album is a little slow in places.

After enjoying the delights of the "Fairy Light Nights" releases, and the stonking "Live At Union Chapel" disc, at last we can enjoy the first new AAE material as a band, in years. (Iceland as a side project with just Jules and Andy, does not 'officially' count, as such!).
There are some great renditions of classic songs here, but the standout tracks must be the new ones. The song writing is just as good as always.
First off, one to shake off the cobwebs, 'Let me go home'. Great guitar form Toni, Andy pounding a meaty Bass line, and Julianne showing the kids how it *can* be done!
3rd track in, 'Somebody said'. A great song, really showing off Juliannes voice for what it is.. Amazing! After a live version of 'Blue sonic Boy’, a Mice track and one of Juliannes previous solo projects, we get to 'Daisychains'. A beautiful song, very reminiscent of (dare I say it) early AAE. A gentle melody with poignant lyrics. Sublime! After a couple more tracks (one from the very much underrated "Ultraviolet" album,) we get to 'Ctrl - alt - del'. A track that was underplayed on the recent live tour. Last new track here is 'Sodium'. Atmospheric, dark, and brooding.. All with a slight huskiness almost to the delivery from Julianne.
Last track is a stonking cover of David Bowies' 'Life on mars', delivered perfectly. Buy this, or even better, get the DVD as well. (great to listen to, but even better to watch, and with extra tracks!)

This is a fantastic release from a band at the peak of their powers. Recorded live and electric in May 2002 it features no less than 5 previously unreleased new songs including the awesome 'Let me go home' and 'Contol, Alt, Delete' plus the wonderful 'Somebody Said'. Other songs featured are 'Touched by Jesus', 'I Don't Know, the awesome 'Phased' and a great version of Bowie's 'Life on Mars'. I seriously can't tell you how good this is. 5 STARS NO QUESTION.
