The Alison Moyet - Raindancing Deluxe 2016 Edition is widely regarded as the definitive version of her 1987 sophomore album. While the original record was a massive commercial success, spawning hits like "Is This Love?" and "Weak in the Presence of Beauty," it remains a point of contention for Moyet herself due to its polished American production. The 2016 reissue, especially in a lossless format like FLAC, allows listeners to hear the intricate details and powerhouse vocals that critics say have "shimmered and shined" better than ever before. Remastering and Audio Quality
Final Verdict
In the pantheon of 1980s pop icons, Alison Moyet occupies a unique and somewhat paradoxical space. Emerging from the raw, synth-punk energy of Yazoo, she possessed a contralto voice so rich, so volcanic, it felt utterly out of place in the decade of breathy sopranos and digital reverb. Her 1984 solo debut, Alf, was a masterclass in blue-eyed soul and torch songs. But its follow-up, 1987’s Raindancing, was the difficult second album that nearly derailed a legacy—until now.
Released by BMG as part of a comprehensive reissue series, the 2016 edition expands the original 10-track LP into a sprawling two-CD set. It features a 2016 remaster of the original tapes, designed to bring modern clarity to the 1980s production while preserving the soul of Moyet's powerful vocals.
The 2016 Deluxe Edition of Raindancing serves as a definitive reappraisal of Alison Moyet’s second solo studio album. Originally released in 1987, this reissue captures a pivotal moment in British pop history when Moyet transitioned from the synth-pop shadows of Yazoo into a shimmering, high-production solo star. The Context of Raindancing
, the remastering provides a much higher fidelity than original 80s pressings. Final Verdict: An Essential for "Alf-ettes"
