Dusk And Desire
''Dusk and Desire'' is the second studio album by electronic band Moev, released in 1986 by Nettwerk and Profile Records. It was Moev's first album to feature Kelly Cook on bass, and the last to feature both Mark Jowett on electric guitar and the band's co-founder Cal Stephenson on synthesizers. Critical reception In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Michael Sutton wrote of the album, "although the album moves at a quick pace, it's still a chore to listen to." Adding that "there's no personality in these tracks; they're faceless. Book of Love springs to mind whenever Michella Arrichiello sings, and that's about as memorable as ''Dusk and Desire'' gets."
