All About Eve is pure soul-music for us "melancholy" types whose favorite season is the Autumn. I agree that Eve's second album, "Scarlet and Other Stories," is even better than this one. I have been known to purchase music "sound-unheard" (see also Lir's "Magico! Magico!"), and that's how it happened with "Scarlet." The ultra-visceral vocals of Julianne Regan and far-away, descanting guitar work of Tim Brecheno combine to produce a truly fantastic sound in all their work!If you're the type who can "see" music as you listen, this album will definitely paint pictures in your mind, especially cuts like "Every Angel," "Like Emily" and "In The Meadow." If you like "orchestral" rock-n-roll with fantasy-laden female vocals and stellar guitar work, you should hear this album (and their others, too). I would say that Eve is similar in style to artists like Heart and Stevie Nicks, although Julianne and Stevie do not sound alike vocally. A better vocal comparison would be with Terri Nunn (Berlin) or Aimee Mann ('Til Tuesday). I have also heard a medium-quality tape of Eve's import "Ultraviolet," but have been unable to find it on CD. Same enchanting sound, although the intentional distortion seems a bit gratuitous at times, and the vocals are somewhat buried. I would really like to hear a cleaner copy of that one, so I hope Amazon will pick it up soon.
