Alison Moyet - Chat Session, December 18

Sherry: one more ?, Alison, is there an email or snail mail address where people may reach you?
Alison: when we are up and running, we will add an e-mail address to our website, www.alisonmoyet.com. This is due to launch early next year....famous last words!!
andreas: since the days of yazoo i like your work a lot and since some time i was asking myself already what you were doing. i'm glad to read that next year your new album will be released. what will it sound like? i'm very curious.
Alison: It is quite an eclectic mix, with songs ranging from ambient to chansons. It is without doubt an album I should have made long ago.
UpstateNY: Dear Alison....will you be singing in NY anytime soon?
Alison: I will most definitely be singing in NY. I'm not sure about the timeframe, but I am hoping for the Summer.
wiggy: Any pre-tour warm up gigs planned ?
Alison: I will be doing as much as I can before the womb prolapses. Again, no details, but soon.
jason: Alison, A few years ago it was rumoired that you may go into acting, would this be something you would consider?
Alison: My dream job has always been voice-overs. In confident moments I feel unassailable, but book the date and the bottle goes! I think that I could act but probably only for childrens programmes.
david: any favourite gigs youve done througout your carrer
Alison: The acoustic gigs that i have done have been my favourites because I prefer to be autonomous. I have always had a good time in America because the expectations there are different and I am not expected to be a popster. I usually do enjoy the singing - if I look like I'm enjoying myself, then I usually am.
Caroline: When will you be back on german stages ?
Alison: I have always had a lot of support in Germany; it is a very important territory for me, so I should imagine a visit to Germany will be one of the earlier ones.
Dan-Chicago: Alison, was the chat your idea or did Debbie make you do it? (hello debbie!)
Alison: Believe it or not, it was MY idea, prompted by the fact that I have condemned my laptop to hell, and was feeling bad about not posting on my site.
Dan-Chicago: When you say ambient...are there a lot of synths and things?
Alison: Some synths, but it ended up being more played than we expected. I probably mean it's emotive and it breathes.
Jean: Alison,do you always write your own lyrics? Or do you ever collaborate with other writers/use others'words?
Alison: I mostly do write my own lyrics. It is very rare that I would collaborate with another lyricist. I find language needs to be personal. The one time I like to sing other people's lyrics is when I want to concentrate on a voice alone, and then I try not to get hung up on semantics.
wiggy: Do you have a working title for the new album?
Alison: Yes - Hometime.
Marc: Hi Alison. So good to have a chance to chat with you and seeing you respond live to all our questions. You are very open and down to earth on your website. How does the website make you feel?
Alison: I really like being in contact with other people when there is no need to get dressed.
bob: Hi Alison what is your favorite song?
Alison: See above.
jason: I cant believe you are nervous, you always appear so confident. I'll always remember your gig at Manchester apollo where halfway through a song,you burst out laughing!, who normally makes you laugh?
Alison: It has always helped that I am tremendously short-sighted. Six brandies before singing for a tee-totaller is very useful!!
Dan-Chicago: What are you wearing right now?
Alison: Debbie says that I should say Prada, but the truth is closer to the sava-centre.
brian: Hi Alison! IYou and Pete Glenister are great live. How did you two meet?
Alison: He played for me for a short while after auditioning for the Raindancing Tour. We didn't click but for some reason met up again some time later and became very good friends. Pete is a very talented man.
jason: Alison, Dawn French has appeared in 2 of your videos, is she a close friend?...would you like to work with h

[Trent]

WoW!!!! Very cool Wii..thanks for that, I just LOVE Alison...And Now I have a new cd to look forward to..fantastic!!

[Avihai]

I'm aware of what I've said about a former DM member but I really like the keyboard work on 'Don't Go' .

[wii]

Can´t believe this topic doesn´t get more attention ! I just love Yazoo. Listening to their greatest hits right now - Nobodys Diary definately my favorite track!

http://www.alphaville.org/images/dance.gif

[Avil]

Nobody´s diary is the only song I´ve heard, or at least heard and remember from Yazoo.
It´s so very...80´s!!

~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~

[Krapplund]

Yazoo are GREAT!!!

Top songs:

Nobody's Diary
And On
Goodbye 70's
Don't Go
Anyone
Situation

[Olek]

I also have their new Greates Hits (you know - with these strange mixes at the end) and still ask myself this question: Why 'Happy people' didn't make it to this album??? It's probably their best song. And I know many people who like Yazoo and also have such an opinion on this song.

[Trent]

"Happy People" Is NOT one of me favourites...as a matter of fact it's a bit irritating to me and I rather not listen to it and fast foward it...It makes me want to do carnage

"When I close my eyes, I see my soul...When I open them, I see yours"...
Trent

[micki]

I borrowed their cd "best of", and fell in love, I liked nearly all the songs, and Yazoo is now among my all time fave bands, "Midnight", "Don't Go" and "Winter Kills" are just a few of the songs that I love from them, and the funny thing is that just earlier the day I listened to it the first time, I was listening to the radio, and I heard this brilliant song with a catchy synthesizer melody and a crunchy beat, which I had heard several times before, but I didn't know who it was performing it, and then, ten minutes later as I put on the Yazoo-cd, I heard this same god damn song, which was "Don't Go"!! *hehe*, speak about coincidences, aye...

"the 80's child"

[russharvey]

Alison Moyet was in Yazoo? Wow! I did not know that! Great transcript!

I only really remember one song.... I think it was called invincible... or invisible..... she didn't have many hit singles here, but I really like her deep sultry voice..... gonna have to check out Yazoo now!

***This life is expensive, but at least it comes with a free trip around the sun!***

[Trent]

Yeah, "Invisible" Is from one of her solo albums called ALF...Great cd!

[wii]

There´s a new album out with Alison Moyet called "Hometown". Has anyone heard it yet? I haven´t had the chance yet.

More info on the official site:

http://www.alisonmoyet.com

[wii]

Have you seen this great fanpage?

http://pedes.net/yazoo/

[wii]

God, how I love this band, must be the only one, since I´m the only one posting here.

Vince Clarke, if you are reading this - forget about Erasure, call Alison and get back to work and on tour ! I would travel around the world to see this band live...(wishful thinking maybe, but what are dreams for?).

[Alphaanni]

@wii: I saw an interview with her few weeks ago. she is great. didn't she put a new album out? I think she talked about it but more cover version than new stuff... can hardly remember, somebody talked to me in the background that time.. aaarrrgggghhh

missed you in berlin :)

[wii]

Yeah, she just released a new album - gotta hear it soon.

[FallenAngel]

I was looking in my cd's and I found this one:

Alison Moyet - Whispering Your Name (for promotional use only - not for resale)

[Krapplund]

Yazoo reunion for reissue albums and first live gig in 25 years

Mute is back in reissue mode as they plan to reissue both albums of the short-lived but highly successful English synthpop duo Yazoo (known as Yaz in the USA) consisting of Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Erasure, ...) and Genevieve Alison Moyet (otherwise known as Alf). Both 1982's "Upstairs at Eric's" and 1983's "You and Me Both" will be re-released next year, remastered and posibly in combination with a DVD attached though details are still missing. You can already check out the band's first official website hub at www.yazooinfo.com or at MySpace at www.myspace.com/yazooofficial . For the time being you can subscribe to the official Yazoo newsletter which will start early next year. According to British Channel 4's teletext the band would also plan a live gig to promote the re-releases. More news as we get it.

[wii]

Yeah, I read this, I don´t believe in a live Yazoo tour, but I would go anywhere to see them live if it ever happened, no doubt....

[babble]

No, I don't think we'll see a reunion, but Alison was considering touring with the Yazoo songs without Vince earlier this year so who knows...

[wii]

"According to British Channel 4's teletext the band would also plan a live gig to promote the re-releases"

http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=27901_0_2_0_C

I still think it´s too good to be true, but trust me, I would travel anywhere to see Yazoo live.

I just signed up the official Yazoo mailinglist:

http://www.yazooinfo.com/mailinglist/

[Krapplund]

Due for release in May 2008 is "In Your Room", a 4 disc box set featuring:

- Stereo remasters & 5.1 mixes of the classic albums Upstairs At Eric's and You And Me Both.

- B-Sides & Remixes.

- DVD featuring an exclusive short film with new interviews from Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet and the videos for Don't Go, The Other Side Of Love, Nobody's Diary, Situation (1990) and Only You (1999).


But if that wasn't enough...

Oh My God !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wii]

I´m really surprised that no one has commented the post Peter made, for me, it´s a dream come true and I did get tickets for the London show, it was not easy and the server timed out many times, the presale is already sold out, I´m so happy I made it !

I honestly never thought I was going to see Yazoo live, never thought I would ever be possible, it doesn´t get much bigger for me than this in terms of live events.

[Krapplund]

Me to....I would love to see them live, but think it would cost to mutch for me right now....hmmm

[Alphaanni]

@wii: congratulations!!!! see you in june :)

[wii]

Well, it´s not more expensive for me than going to Esbjerg for the 80s festival, but anyway, I would sell almost anything to see Yazoo live !!!!!

I may have some tickets left, I will know more when I actually get the tickets I need, so if anyone is interested contact me, otherwise they will go on sale on eBay [wink]

[poul e]

Would have been great, but the money just isn't there....

@wii: You are going to have a trip back to the 80's in the middle of June with Esbjerg 80's festival and Yazoo with few days between !!!

[wii]

Yes, amazing, isn´t it ? But I look forward to Yazoo the most, no doubt.

Btw, I only have the tickets I need left, the presale in London is sold out ! There will be more tickets availabe 01 Feb here: http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/

[wii]

Can´t wait to see Alison Moyet live together with Vince Clarke, she´s an amazing singer - check this out:

That's good news! It just happens that I recently dug out my Yaz CD that I hadn't listened to in ages, because I just happened to do "Only You" : karaoke for the first time in my life! (way fun, highly recommended for aspiring pop stars [wink]) . Vince and Alison are a top combination.

[wii]

You won´t believe how excited I am about this, I´ve waited for this for many many years.....

[poul e]

I've heard rumours that Yazoo is the surprise band to play at Esbjerg Rock Festival.....would be great if it were true allthough I still hope it's OMD!

[wii]

Yeah, right, and then continue the tour in England the next day ? I don´t believe that...

[poul e]

It's not impossible Willy....they could play 30-45 minutes in Esbjerg in the afternoon on Saturday and take a flight early in the evening.....

There will be t-shirts for sale, I´m sure, but more than anything I want the "In Your Room" boxset, I´m hoping they have it before the concert, we´ll see, if not, I will order it online.

Yazoo´s first performance since 25 years back...

Yazoo - Don't Go [At Jonathan Ross Show 16.05.2008]

[wii]

Yeah, I saw it yesterday - very nice preview on what to come - although TV is quite different than liveshows, it´s nice to see them together like that, really nice. I can´t wait !

8 days to go [party]

[Krapplund]

Yes 8 days left [wink][smile2]

[wii]

1 week left - [wink]

Yazoo - Don't Go [At Jonathan Ross Show 16.05.2008]


that was the most boring performance I have ever seen...

[wii]

How exciting can a TV show be ?

[Alphaanni]

They can be quite good... We have seen a lot - thanks for asking

Vince Clarke pressing a few buttons on his computer, looking miserable and Alison Moyet looking miserable too.... great.
Glad not to waste money on tickets - though.
Hope they 'spice' up the gigs with handsome dancers / + good looking girls ;)

[Krapplund]

Just hope they made a great stage-show, with light and laser and so on.......but I will anyway see them [wink]

[wii]

I don´t care about a show, the music is all that matters.

[davidhorizon]

Agreed. It's all about the music. Going to a concert is for me mainly to experience good music with a lot of other people and have fun. If I want a show I'll go to the theatre

[TheMoonBoy]

Would be nice if they released a DVD from this tour afterwards! I'm mostly an Erasure fan and I have honestly only heard their four singles even though I'd like to hear more. I like Don't Grow, Only Two and Nobody's Diarrhea quite a lot however not too fond of Situation (hm, couldn't come up with a funny name there).

I also thinks Only Two (Space: 1999 Mix) is one of the best re-works ever. The extra strings makes it quite superior to the original mix. I listen to that one very often actually.

I am in a joking mood today? It would seem so.

Krapplund + 3 friends

Babble

Sure sounds like a ice idea....look for a place and give the info to will and he can send me a sms with info [wink] We will be in malmö 3 p.m.

[wii]

Not sure it´s possible for me, we are so many already, so it won´t be small.

[Krapplund]

Aha...nothing to do

[davidhorizon]

I'm not sure I can make it for a pre party either. I'm coming with my girlfriend, and we have to wait for the babysitter before we leave home. But I will let you know!

[wii]

Seriously, I don´t think that has ever been a band for me that I have looked forward to see live the most than Yazoo, at least not since I saw Alphaville live back in May 1996. I´m so excited that I had to plan my live around these events the next couple of days ! It really doesn´t get much bigger for me live ! I´ve always said: Abba and Yazoo are the bands I would really like to see live before I die, and now soon my wish number 2 days is coming true !!!!!! - I´m almost crying, just thinking of it [wink] - maybe I love music too much...............[wink]

[davidhorizon]

Yeah it's a bit unreal. I never thought I was gonna se Yazoo live.

[Krapplund]

Hope you have a great time Willy!!! [beer]

[Foolship1077]

Finally went and pre-ordered the box set tonight.

June 10th, can't wait!

[Krapplund]

Thanks for the calls yesterday Willy! Ohhh...i wish I was there than.....but TONIGHT it´s my turn to enjoy!!!! [love]

[wii]

FANTASTIC CONCERT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alison Moyet is without a doubt one of the best singers I have ever heard live, it was unreal how powerful and clean her voice is, and I´M GOING AGAIN TONIGHT !!!!!!

Already a few reviews at:

Fantastic concert again - Peter was drunk, I will post some more and some videos later.

Yeah fantastic concert. Best sound I've heard live.

[Krapplund]

A magic concert....SO GREAT!!! [love]

Me drunk [?][?]

[wii]

I uploaded all 20 short clips I made from the concert.

Picture quality is ok, sound is the hard part when it´s loud. This concert was even better than yesterday, I also stood much better this time and the sound is probably the best I have ever heard live, very clean and clear sound, and Alison's voice was amazing - I really hope to see them again live someday [wink]

Enjoy:

[babble]

Wow! The best concert I've ever seen! Yazoo was the first band I really loved and to get to see them live was a wonderful dream come true. I've never been so emotional during a concert before. When they opened up with Nobody's Diary I had to pinch myself to know it was really happening. I do admit it, my eyes turned a bit wet...There, in front of me, was Vince and Alison on the same stage and the year is 2008!

Pure love [love][love][love] Incredible!!!

[wii]

Well said, I agree - these 2 concerts were among the best ever !!!

Don´t forget to post your reviews at www.yazooforum.com (http://www.yazooforum.com) - more members are coming in almost every day [wink]

[davidhorizon]

When they opened up with Nobody's Diary I had to pinch myself to know it was really happening.

Yeah me too!

[wii]

Now I wish I never cancelled London, I would have loved to see them twice again - I´m going crazy, probably the best concerts ever and I have been to so many [wink]

Apparently some fans talked to the crew in Copenhagen about future concerts, this is how the rumour of another tour started, so it´s definately possible [wink]

Nice to hear anyway!!!

Now you can enjoy!!

[babble]

Great pictures! I think was the one who took the first picture. That's why I'm not in there [wink]

Yesterday I received my Yazoo box and I watched the videos and their TV performances from the 80s last night. Fantastic clips! They brought back wonderful memories [smile]

And the remastered albums sound great!

[wii]

I still need to get my hands on "In Your Room", but I will as soon as possible.

You haven't got it yet? I really like the videos and the clips from the various TV shows. The world was so innocent then... [wink]

[Foolship1077]

Okay, last time I saw my Amazon order for "In Your Room," they say the shipping date should be July 8.

Must be the overseas waiting period.

Nope, it's because the U.S. release date IS July 8th! :)

All the same, can't wait!!

I just found a Live DVD bootleg recorded on some of the shows 2008. But the quality was not good.....i wanted to see alison and vince much more closer than they was on it...

[wii]

I´m working on it, found a guy that has very good video clips from the show, stay tuned for more details.

[chinese theatre]

I stay tuned...dont want to miss this.:)

Superb quality:

I was going to post these, but forgot all about them - by far the best quality I´ve seen from a bootleg recording - don´t forget to download the files, even better this way.

Enjoy [wink][tonque]

[chinese theatre]

Hi there...yes this was amazing.....are they clipped bad? sometimes like in dont go it is a stop in the recording and most of the song get lost....And some of the videos starts a little bit in the song...I am glad for what i got of course..but if it is possible to get everything right i would me more than happy...I would of course pay to have it done better...:) And 9 songs i want all of course..:)
But hey this was so nice to look at...and alison moyet...she is a princess....

[Foolship1077]

Well, according to the last time I checked the release date on Amazon.com, that box set I pre-ordered should be shipping for me tomorrow.

I love what Amazon does: When I pre-ordered In Your Room, it was priced at the time at $76, but the price dropped down to $56 since then, so that price would be adjusted in my order!

[smile2] Love it!! [smile2]

Edit, 7/21: Apparently, there was a snafu on the Amazon site, as there are now two listings with different prices. And since the order didn't ship yet, I went with the best deal I could find on their Marketplace.

I really do like that option!

[wii]

I just love her voice [wink] - one of the best voices I have ever heard live.

-xTAU6cyMNA

[Krapplund]

We have to get here and Mr gold to make a duett [wink]

[Leningrad]

Yes i listened to Yaz, and my favourite is Only You because It reminds of AV's flame. Alison's voice is extremely emotional, and Clarke's melodies are superb. Great band.

[Mateusz]

i preffer the original Only You, where first artists didn't use the instruments, but only voices,... Happy People is a very great song!!!!!!! :)

[russharvey]

very nice song..... one I had never heard her sing before.

[chinese theatre]

i preffer the original Only You, where first artists didn't use the instruments, but only voices,... Happy People is a very great song!!!!!!! :)

Now i must right you.....the first versions is yazoo´s including the instruments. The other one is a cover without instruments....

[Mateusz]

Mr Blue is great too ;

[wii]

Nobody's Diary has always been my favorite [wink]

[rachael2019]

How about this mix of "Nobody's Diary" with a little snippet of AV thrown in? I think it's a little dull, but it starts off promising.

[chinese theatre]

very good one...:)

[Mateusz]

yes, this is nice connection (i heard it before, i found that on german-av-forum) it's very cool ;)

[Mateusz]

Do You remember the Yazoo's ''Only You''? I know is very good, anyway where i can to find the original record? I mean this old version, where instruments were shifted by a people's voices... For me this is the best version of this song, so soft, clear and great :)

[wii]

Only You is Yazoo original, you are talking about a cover version by The Flying Pickets, which you can find anywhere, even online, if you search for it.

[Mateusz]

everyone who i asked sad me that is the original... anyway thanks, i didn't know how they are called. Thanks :)

[wii]

They are not correct - take a look:

[Dingerz]

God, I never in a million years thought I'd see them live but I finally got to in NY last July. They were very good live, and Alison still has an incredible voice. Does anyone have her new solo cd? Is it worth picking up?

I NEED A LIVE-DVD FROM THE LAST TOUR.....!!!

I´m sad that they did´nt made one.....that´s to bad!

Me too Peter, one of best singers I have ever heard live:

fgiTH0DWwNA

[Krapplund]

Yes soooooooooooooo great!!!

[wii]

Alison has a very powerful vocal range and a really cool dark sound to her voice, which matches the music perfectly (it really has to be heard live) and to make it even better, the sound at the concerts in Copenhagen was the best I have ever heard live ! Amazong precise and accurate sound, great experience...[wink]

[babble]

...the concerts in Copenhagen was the best I have ever heard live ! Amazong precise and accurate sound, great experience...[wink]

I completely agree! I'm so happy that I was able to go there and watch one of the shows [smile] I still get goosebumps all over just thinking of that night...

[wii]

Too bad I can't spell though - it's called amazing, not amazong [laugh]

[babble]

Too bad I can't spell though - it's called amazing, not amazong [laugh]

PRESS RELEASE - YAZOO 'RECONNECTED LIVE'

RELEASED 27th SEPTEMBER 2010 ON MUTE RECORDS
2xCD, LCD AND DOWNLOAD

“As if they never parted” * The Times

“As they breathed new life into their short but immaculate back catalogue, Clarke the glacial controller, Moyet the bringer of warmth, their pioneering contribution to pop music could be heard in every song.” * Daily Telegraph

“Clarke has unobtrusively retooled the band’s music for the digital age, making their vintage 1980s synthesizer ditties sound crisp, fluid and timeless” * “Performing on a minimalist stage of high-tech steel and neon, Moyet slipped easily into turbo-throated blues-diva mode” * The Times

YAZOO release RECONNECTED LIVE on 2xCD, LCD and download on 27th September 2010.

RECONNECTED LIVE documents one of pop’s most anticipated tours: Vince Clarke & Alison Moyet reunited for the first time in over 25 years. The Times said: “Clarke has unobtrusively retooled the band’s music for the digital age, making their vintage 1980s synthesizer ditties sound crisp, fluid and timeless” while The Guardian noted, “Yazoo’s first tour in 26 years finds the chemistry behind their smash hits unchanged.”

RECONNECTED LIVE, from summer 2008, features classic tracks from Yazoo’s albums ‘Upstairs At Eric’s’ and ‘You And Me Both’, including Only You, Don’t Go and Situation plus tracks from ‘You And Me Both’, such as Nobody’s Diary, performed live for the first time ever.

The joyous, unlikely coming together of Vince Clarke, who had just left Depeche Mode, and Alison Moyet lasted for only 2 albums, saw them originally only performing only 24 concerts worldwide, but they left an indelible mark on pop. Yazoo released ‘Upstairs At Erics’ in July 1982 then parted company just 12 months later on release of the second album ‘You And Me Both’, which reached Number 1 in the UK.

Speaking prior to the Reconnected tour, Vince Clarke said: "It's been really good going back to these songs after such a long while. Many of them have never been played live. I'm looking forward to performing them with Alison for all the fans who've enjoyed our music through the years but never had a chance to see Yazoo in concert"

And Alison Moyet said: "Playing this material live is not about revision for me, it is about finishing something we started * writing, recording, performing. Three parts of a whole. A salmon cycle. It’s like going home.”

“When the pair hug each other at the end, it feels as though the audience want to join in.” The Guardian

[wii]

Yeah, I know, wonderful....this is a MUST BUY for sure [wink]

[sophienoelle]

"Don't Go" was my first favorite pop song because it was the favorite song of the boy I had a crush on (I guess he liked me too, so it was a reciprocal crush). I was 11 and he was 12 LOL. Oh the memories!! Thanks for the reminder[smile2]

Otherwise, aside from "Only You", I never really got into Yazoo, and have since left them behind. But it's nice to know they are fondly remembered.

[Foolship1077]

Some time ago, I ordered the "In Your Room" box set, with both albums (original UK order), remixes and DVD. I just looked it up on Amazon. Their price is up to $80, probably more than twice what I paid (don't remember offhand what the original price was...)!
