“Nothing Can Stop Us Now” like “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” before it, sounds less like a song, and more like a hazy nostalgic daydream containing snippets of musical memories from Bob Stanley’s childhood. I assume his parents played a lot of Dusty Springfield and Lulu records. The soothing sounds of Sarah Cracknell whispering sweet nothings about touching your hand and smoothing out the rough edges was one of the coolest sounds of 1992. What is it about English girls talking on tracks that always sounds infinitely cool? A few years later “Nothing Can Stop Us” would be covered by Kylie as the B-side to “Confide In Me.” Which made sense… Sarah Cracknell was basically the indie Kylie. "Nothing Can Stop Us Now" is a 9

Had this album on tape playing it on the beach in Kos Greece back in 92 and we had German, Italian and Dutch people coming over to us and saying they had never heard anything so good and who was the band, gave the tape to some Germans on our last day and they were over the moon, great album and still play it and never tired of hearing it. Saw them live playing at Newcastle uni in 92 and they were supported by Pulp.

It made me feel nostalgic about the 90s and i was born in 1989. But i remember being amused by the underground adults parties and songs and clubs. Hope i can dance to it in a crowded dancefloor one day.

From the United states of kma...Lol some of you will get it...30 years later in 2022 Fox base Alpha was my favorite CD for a good while. It's still in my Top 5 lifetime Fave albums & I'm 59. I had a group of friends mostly I worked & partied with, went to dance clubs early rave scene & just loved every song on FBA & usually pushed replay, especially on songs I really loved like Nothing can stop us now. Sarah Cracknell was & still is one of my favorite vocalists & I really admires Bob & Pete for their mixing talents. Fox base alpha honestly calmed me down during the 90's because I was into NIN & a lot of Euro & USA Industrial & grunge angry aggressive music so this was a nice change of mood & atmosphere
