24 Years of Hunger

24 Years of Hunger is a pop music album released in 1991 by & Alice, the collaboration of Eg White and Alice Temple. "24 Years of Hunger" was critically acclaimed, although it failed to chart. It is the only album that the duo ever released.
Allmusic describes "24 Years of Hunger" as "one of the finest, most refined and fully realized recordings of the era, employing a much more sophisticated and romantic style than anything else out of England at the time".
Allmusic also notes the accolades that "24 Years of Hunger" album received from other music critics:
Martin Rowsell, in "The Rough Guide to Rock", notes that while reviewers compared the album to Prefab Sprout and Prince, and Alice cited their own musical influences as John Lennon, Traveling Wilburys, Joe Jackson, Joni Mitchell and Curtis Mayfield. Noting the huge discrepancy between the album's critical and commercial success, Rowsell speculates that White's songwriting may have been too personal for mainstream acceptance at the time.
