"Moon" struck.............2004-01-31

The summer of 1985, while in high school and in the midst of a new wave revolution, a friend of mine played a taped compilation of various artists of that era. I was immediately drawn to a particularly beautiful, thought extremely haunting selection that I heard, and although I had no idea who it was, I listened to it over and over until, wouldnt you know it, the tape broke. My friend and I had no idea who the artist was, and seeing as how the internet age was years away, has no way to find out. Fast forward to the present, and my reason for writing. The song is "Moon Is A Powerful Lover", and listening to it now is just as enjoyable as it was then. The rest of the album is okay, but I would purchase it just to experience that song. Soulful, haunting, melancoly, beautiful..... highly recommended!

When she was good, she was very, very good..........2001-10-23

If you don't know Claire's music, this is not really the one to try first; it's the least typical. That said, if you love her music, don't miss it.
I could have lived the rest of my years without hearing 'Come Along Brave Lads' or 'Ultra-Violet Light', but life would have been less fulfilling without 'The Moon is a Powerful Lover'. That song is very special indeed.
As for the album, Gary Numan guests on it, which gives you a feel for the style. Early 80's sound, but Claire is unable to hide her talent even under the wrong arrangements.
Three stars because it's patchy, but the good bits are just great.

Good.......2000-11-14

Claire Hamill's best recordings are from the early seventies. Go to Voiceprint.com and order One House Left Standing and October. You will be pleasantly surprised.
