Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Appropriately named, Morning Dove White is an album of songs to be listend to after: after getting home from the club; while recovering the morning after ; or after going through a heavy session with Primal Scream's Screamadelica.Originally branded as ambient-pop thanks to Dot (formerly Dorothy) Allison's ethereal vocals, One Dove's songs actually have a bit more substance than the label would imply, and the very title of the album's second track, "White Love (Guitar Paradise Mix)"--not to mention it's My Bloody Valentine-wail of guitars--should've put the very idea to rest from the start. Produced by Andrew Weatherall (who did so much of Screamadelica) and engineered by his co-horts from the Sabres of Paradise, MDW is a trippy, heady mix of guitars, keyboards and vocals that sounds ahead of its time even five years after its release. --Randy Silver

From Amazon.com
This Scottish trio offers the most commercial expression yet of the current U.K. obsession with spacey ambient "chill out" music, as practiced by The Orb and Sven Vaith, among others. While much of the dragged-out, slow-paced material here suggests Bananarama on downers, the Stephen Hague remixes of, "Breakdown" and "White Love" say their piece and sign-off quickly. --Jeff Bateman

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful. Gorgeous. Intoxicating., 26 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This is a truly beautiful, uplifting and seemingly forgotten album. No review of it I've seen has been able to resist comparing it to 'Screamadelica' (and who am I to break with tradition?) and that is certainly the easiest reference point to use to describe the sound, but of the two albums I much prefer 'Morning Dove White'. While the music itself (elements of dub, ambient and pop, combined with Proper Songs) is inspirational enough, it's the voice of Dot Allison that makes this album so special. From the opening bars of 'Fallen' (the first track on the album and also the band's first single) as she confides 'I don't know why I'm telling you any of this...' her voice sends shivers down your spine. Emotive, expressive and incredibly seductive, her voice is all over this album in breathy background whispers, lead vocals and harmonies to just lose yourself in. But there is more to One Dove than just Dot, as shown by 'There Goes The Cure', one of my favourite tracks which is also largely instrumental.

One Dove recorded a follow-up album which was never released and split up shortly afterwards, which while being pretty tragic does at least mean that their mystique as a lost treasure remains intact. But even 'Morning Dove White' is flawed - at the insistence of the record company it ends weakly with the single remixes of 'Breakdown' and 'White Love', which while being fine pop songs are elsewhere on the album in better forms. 'My Friend' is an instrumental and feels half-baked in comparison to the rest of the album. Now if they'd lost those tracks and put 'Jolene' and 'Skanga' from the single release of 'Why Don't You Take Me' (if you find a copy, buy it) on, they would have had an almost perfect album. But who wants perfection?

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums of the 90s, 17 Jul 2004
By Curmudgeon "grantc" (West Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Morning Dove White (Audio CD)
Already more than 10 years old, Morning Dove White still manages to sound both timeless and modern. Andrew Weatherall's heavily dub-influenced production contrasts beautifully with the orchestrated strings and Dot Allison's whispered soprano (the best thing she's ever done). A great album.
