Product Description

One Dove merges ethereal electronica with a pop-oriented sensibility, adding pulsing dance beats, sensual female vocals, and elements of guitar-based rock and light funk. Each of the three members of the group plays keyboard and contributes programming. One also plays bass and guitar, and Dorothy Allison supplies the breathy spoken/sung vocals. The result is a uniquely textured brand of club pop.
"White Love" features an insistent hard-groove rhythm with ascending synth motifs, burbling basslines, and Allison's suggestive singing."Breakdown" rides a slow motion beat while funky bass, bright keyboards, Allison's lilting verses and choruses, and added rhythmic textures flesh out a song well suited for commercial radio. One Dove's brings the often-esoteric vocabulary of electronica a little bit closer to the mainstream.

Amazon.co.uk Review
Appropriately named, Morning Dove White is an album of songs to be listend to after: after getting home from the club; while recovering the morning after ; or after going through a heavy session with Primal Scream's Screamadelica.Originally branded as ambient-pop thanks to Dot (formerly Dorothy) Allison's ethereal vocals, One Dove's songs actually have a bit more substance than the label would imply, and the very title of the album's second track, "White Love (Guitar Paradise Mix)"--not to mention it's My Bloody Valentine-wail of guitars--should've put the very idea to rest from the start. Produced by Andrew Weatherall (who did so much of Screamadelica) and engineered by his co-horts from the Sabres of Paradise, MDW is a trippy, heady mix of guitars, keyboards and vocals that sounds ahead of its time even five years after its release. --Randy Silver

From Amazon.com
This Scottish trio offers the most commercial expression yet of the current U.K. obsession with spacey ambient "chill out" music, as practiced by The Orb and Sven Vaith, among others. While much of the dragged-out, slow-paced material here suggests Bananarama on downers, the Stephen Hague remixes of, "Breakdown" and "White Love" say their piece and sign-off quickly. --Jeff Bateman

Customer Reviews

90's Classic
This is one of the purest morning after albums of all time. Brings back so many memories of the next morning after a hard nights clubbing! If you are looking for something soothing to listen to go for this, it will make you feel good again!

Haunting, sensual and a great album from the 90's...
I initially bought this album when I was a teenager back in 1993 after my boyfriend recommended it. Listening to it again almost 12 years later, it still makes me shiver. It brings back so many happy memories, and yes I'll follow the herd and agree that it does sound a little like Primal Screams 'Screamadelica', but that's not a bad thing as it's another great album from the 90's.

One of the best albums of the 90s
Already more than 10 years old, Morning Dove White still manages to sound both timeless and modern. Andrew Weatherall's heavily dub-influenced production contrasts beautifully with the orchestrated strings and Dot Allison's whispered soprano (the best thing she's ever done). A great album.
