Some voices need no introduction. Alison Moyet’s is one of them: rich, soulful and instantly recognisable. Her recent Cooking Vinyl reissues offer a lovely excuse to explore a run of albums that stretches well beyond the familiar hits.
Released on 25 September 2026, this selection brings Hometime, Voice, The Turn, The Minutes and Other to limited-edition coloured vinyl, with deluxe CD editions of Hometime, The Turn, The Minutes and Other also listed at Punk to Funk Heaven.
From Yazoo to a world of her own
Alison Moyet first came to wider attention in the early 1980s as one half of Yazoo alongside Vince Clarke. The pairing of cool electronics and her wonderfully expressive voice gave songs such as “Only You” and “Don't Go” a character all their own.
Solo success followed with Alf, but her story certainly doesn’t stop with the eighties. Across the following decades, Moyet continued to explore new settings for that unmistakable voice, from intimate songwriting and orchestral interpretations to adventurous electronic pop. These reissues are a great way into that later catalogue.
Hometime (2002)
Warm, reflective and quietly compelling, Hometime is a record to settle into rather than rush through. “Yesterday’s Flame”, “Should I Feel That It’s Over” and “More” show just how much feeling Moyet can bring to a song without overplaying it.
Choose the limited-edition coloured-vinyl LP or the deluxe CD digipak. The CD track listing adds demos, live recordings and remixes for anyone who likes to dig a little deeper.

Voice (2004)
The clue is in the title. Voice puts Moyet’s interpretation front and centre, drawing together songs from different traditions and making them feel part of the same conversation.
“The Windmills of Your Mind”, “Almost Blue” and “Cry Me a River” sit alongside “Dido’s Lament”, giving her room to move between tenderness, drama and restraint. This reissue is listed on limited-edition coloured-vinyl LP.

The Turn (2007)
For listeners who love the storytelling side of Alison Moyet, The Turn is well worth a visit. Songs including “One More Time”, “The Man in the Wings” and “The Sharpest Corner (Hollow)” give that voice plenty of emotional ground to cover.
Available in the reissue selection on limited-edition coloured-vinyl LP and deluxe CD digipak. The CD edition includes additional songs, alternative versions and live performances.

The Minutes (2013)
Electronics return to the foreground on The Minutes, produced by Guy Sigsworth. Rather than simply looking back to her Yazoo days, Moyet takes those electronic possibilities somewhere fresh, with textured arrangements and melodies that stay with you.
“Horizon Flame”, “Changeling” and “When I Was Your Girl” make excellent starting points. Choose limited-edition coloured vinyl or the deluxe CD edition, whose track listing includes remixes and a generous selection of live recordings.

Other (2017)
Other continues that adventurous electronic direction, pairing atmosphere and detail with an assured vocal performance. From “I Germinate” and “Reassuring Pinches” to “The Rarest Birds”, it’s an album that invites a closer listen.
The recent reissue is listed on limited-edition coloured-vinyl LP and deluxe CD digipak. The CD edition adds live performances spanning both this album and earlier favourites.

More than a trip down memory lane
These albums are a reminder that Alison Moyet’s catalogue is about much more than nostalgia. There’s curiosity, character and a willingness to try something different running right through them.
