Apparently, the Saint Etienne boys take their footie seriously! There is a long-established, Subbuteo competitive circuit which has an international governing body and a yearly, world championship competition. The playing pieces stand on weighted bases and are flicked across a tabletop mat towards the ball which is oversized and stands nearly as high as the players. The playing figure, manufactured by Hasbro, is dressed in the home colors of the Association Sportive de Saint- Étienne Loire, the French football team from which the band derives its name. It's the Subbuteo edition of " Foxbase Alpha". Guess what showed up on my doorstep on Tuesday? But there was never a guarantee that I would actually receive one. Thankfully, I was able to order it through the group's official website. So when I heard about a special edition of the deluxe edition of " Foxbase Alpha" by Saint Etienne, I feverishly tracked one down. Anytime one of my favorite artists releases an album in a special edition with special packaging, I simply have to get my hot, little hands on the item.
Surely they could've not made it look like it belongs in the budget bin. It looks a bit down market for such an auspicious collection. Bravo!Īlthough, I must admit that I'm not in love with the cover art for the album. Photographer Chris Floyd certainly captured Alison's beauty in ways we haven't seen in years. Thanks to fellow, pop aficionado Stephen Sears over at XO's Middle Eight for directing our attention to Alison's stunning transformation. After years of struggling with her weight, she has managed to get it under control with the help of her devoted husband who she has known for 20 years. The following is the tracklisting for "The Best of Alison Moyet: 25 Years Revisited" which features songs from across all of her seven solo albums:Īnd Alison is sporting a new, svelte and sultry look.
The deluxe edition of the album will feature a second disc will contain eleven, brand new interpretations of Alison’s favorite songs from her back catalogue recorded with her current live band. Her third such collection after "Singles" in 1995 and "The Essential Alison Moyet" in 2001. So it is, after the rousing success of the Yaz(oo) tour with Vince Clarke and the anticipation of a forthcoming hits tour, Alison Moyet will return on October 19 with a new, appropriately titled compilation, "The Best of Alison Moyet: 25 Years Revisited". The trick is to make each one special enough for diehard fans and casual listeners alike. In the case of a rare few, they will have released three retrospectives. When you've had a career reaching back nearly 25 years, it's easy to have had one or two greatest hits collections under your belt. I can think of a few, young starlets that could learn a thing or two from these clips.īy the way, skip to super cheesed out intro to the show. And isn't pop music about fun in the first place? I love it that Keren and Sarah don't take themselves too seriously. You can also see what great fun they're having. It just goes to show you how a proper popstar handles an interview. I've included their interview with Alan because you get some lovely insights into their 27 year career. Bananarama recently performed it on "The Alan Titchmarsh Show" in the UK.
Love, perhaps? The song is a glittering, epic, dance number with operatic flashes. The next single should be "Love Don't Live Here". It's a shame the single only managed to reach #44 on the UK singles chart. "Love Comes" was a fabulous return to form for Keren and Sarah. However, I will say it's a strong album with enough booty shaking content for fans and disco dollies alike. I haven't had much of a chance to get around to reviewing "Viva", the new longplayer from Bananarama.
