CD Review from www.annecarlini.com: Recorded live at Quasimodo in Berlin in 2002, do not be confused and assume that this is the same recording as the one entitled Live In Berlin ... as it isn't! Bringing together eleven immediatly haunting renditions of songs both old and new, Hazel opens the set with her breakthrough single from Breaking Glass, 'Eighth Day' and follows it up with such classics as 'Hanging Around' and 'Will You'. With the accompaniment of harp, violin, fiddle, congas and other percussive backing the refined arrangements give songs such as 'If Only' and 'Big Brother' a completely new lease of life. Another wonderful element of this CD is that before some of the songs Hazel introduces them with a little backing story which then makes the tracks all that more special to us after all this time. The highlight track, for me at least, was the wonderful version of 'Hanging Around' that has to simply be now heard to be fully appreciated. |

CD Review By P. Coleman "PeaceColeman" from Amazon: I am not a huge fan of dance music but mixing it with Hazel's Celtic folky sound certainly seems to work. Here is an album that is easy on the ear while still grabbing your full attention, and it is always over way too soon. Whether you like Hazel in her distant New Wave guise or prefer her more recent bluesy folky stuff it matters not because this album will satisfy. Without suggesting the presence of a duff track on the album my favourite tracks are, the quirky but edgy "I want much more" "Waiting 4 U" "Electra Seraphim" and the original version of the song she later recorded with Moya Brennan "Hidden (words)" I recommend this album to anyone, it will sit comfortably along side any of her other recordings or make a great introduction to her music. just buy it to check out how her voice has grown to be one of the most pleasing sounds in popular music.
