Iceland is the fifth studio album "actually" released by All About Eve (as opposed to Seeing Stars, planned to be their fifth album before their 1993 breakup, eventually released under the band name "Seeing Stars" in 1997).

It was described mainly as a winter (rather than specifically Christmas) album, although five out of seven of the songs do contain references to Christmas or are songs particularly connected with it.

Track listing

#"Last Christmas"
#"Walking in the Air"

#"Melting"
#"Cold"
#"A Winter's Tale"
#"December (Amnesia Mix)"

Notes

Only "Melting" and "Cold" are new All About Eve-penned songs. "Last Christmas" is a cover of the Wham song and "A Winter's Tale" is a cover of the Queen song. The two Decembers are takes on the original All About Eve song (as found on their second album Scarlet and Other Stories) and Walking in the Air is, of course, the theme music to The Snowman - though the version on this album is a somewhat radical re-working.

This album was made (and the songs performed) by Julianne Regan and Andy Cousin only, and did not include Robin Guy or Toni Haimi, the other band members at the time.

There is now a myspace page set up (by Cousin and Regan) solely for this album. http://www.myspace.com/allabouticeland
