How is it possible that I've never heard of this group before? I mean, they have everything that I look for in a group - dreamy vocals, great beats, and best of all they're from Scotland (home of Big Country, my all time favorite band).

Damn it, now I have to go and find this disc.

Thanks a lot. . .

“Fallen” was actually the band's first single, released quite a bit before the album. Didn't know that until I started doing some research for this post. Great song!

I think the trip-hop thing is really more in retrospect…they were obviously progenitors. As far as the Hague thing goes, I realize I'm totally in the minority there – I just think my pop leanings prefer the tighter, more focused edits.

Glad you've written about One Dove,since they are a great lost band of the 1990s. Fascinating post.

But, I'd take issue with the trip hop association at the start of your post, since the term didn't come into being until 1994 and the frenzy over Portishead's “Dummy”. I'm also surprised that you strongly favour the Stephen Hague productions, since I like the slower stuff which was produced by UK dance legend Andy Weatherall. Indeed, it is often said that Stephen Hague was brought in by the label largely against the band's wishes and was part of the cause odf the group's split.

I loved the One Dove album. My favorite track wasn't either of the singles but the opening song “Fallen”. I played that thing to death.
