Survival going is

 

[straightorbroken]

The drowsy pop dribble Secret Garden is one of the most dreamy-gorge things she has ever done. Survival, Has to Be and Mer Girl are also much higher price tags than, say, Shanti/Ashantagi and the rnb ripple Love Tried (both fine 8s).

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Secret Garden robbed!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Survival going is

and now you’re voting for Skin?

 

[Vicky the Vole]

I can't imagine Shanti/Ashtsngi would have made it nearly this far if it had been on any other album!

 

[Funky]

and now you’re voting for Skin?

I love Skin in the way I love everything on ROL but it’s probably my second least favourite in there, after Shanti

Everyone really needs to listen to Why’s It So Hard as well and remind themselves how underrated it is

A hidden gem if ever there was one. Nobody ever talks about it and it’s glorious

Didn't know "To Have and Not to Hold" had this many fans. I do love it. Would be sad to see "Love Tried to Welcome Me" possibly go. it's lush.

Didn't know "To Have and Not to Hold" had this many fans. I do love it. Would be sad to see "Love Tried to Welcome Me" possibly go. it's lush.

Such a quietly devastating lyric. "Instead of spring, it's always winter. And my heart has always been a lonely hunter"

 

[Funky]

Waiting
Sanctuary
Swim
Sky Fits Heaven

Would be my final choices. Can’t see it happening though, even though they’ve all done well so far

Erotica's playful vision is completely crystalised in Where Life Begins, it's abundance, coherence, erotic ennui and jazzy tranquillity.

I always loved the live version included on the I’ll Remember CD single.

Erotica's playful vision is completely crystalised in Where Life Begins, it's abundance, coherence, erotic ennui and jazzy tranquillity.

On a good day, Where Life Begins is her best non single of the 90s. But it’ll never make the final. People just struggle with the lyrics.

Little Star is a pure pleasure machine. A drum n' bass doodlebeat, those strings that levitate into the middle 8 is a stunning moment. A gorgeous curtail of spirals, dynamic flickers and deft touches all soothing and perhaps falters too easily with the critics on a lyrical front (I personally think Flesh and Bone would have made great names for twins - poor Lola).

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Everything left is great and I think I’m in a mood of playing all albums now while getting ready for tonight, starting with Bedtime Stories…

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I’m sorry but why do I not listen to the Erotica album every weekend? I’ve almost forgotten how good it is.

The ”bring your love…” part is just soo good. I feel bad for voting it out.
