Advantages: Reminders of the 80s, raw talent, distinctive voice Disadvantages: None
Alison Moyet was born in 1961 in Basildon ? an Essex girl. Her career started off in a number of pub type rock groups in the late 70?s/early 80?s, but fame really took off when she became part of the duo that were known as ?Yazoo? featuring Alison as the vocalist and Vince Clark on synthesisers. Vince Clark had previously been with Depeche Mode and then moved on to Erasure, whilst Alison developed a hugely successful solo career.
1980-84 were really significant years for me musically. Music is symbolic of life changing events for me; in 1980 I was 16, left school and went to College, and met the first ?love? of my life. ?Only You?, Yazoo?s most well known hit had a profound effect on me, not least because of the distinctive, deep, expressive voice of Alison (aka Alf).

"The Gift" is the first book of Pellinor Series by Alison Croggon, an award-winning Australian Poet. I borrowed this from my friend who claims that if I liked Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Material", then I would like this one. When I first received it, I immediately hope it wasn't a heavy and long-winded book as "Lord of the Rings (LOTR)", as I gave up on that one after a few chapters. As I flicked through it, I began to dread it. It contains illustrations of hand-drawn maps (LOTR comes to mind), notes to explain how words are pronounce (LOTR again). At the back of the book, it consists of several pages of a brief history of Edil-Amarandh, where the story is set. Credit to the author for making such effort.
