Beautiful 'Sound' August 18, 2001
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
After entering the scene as a pop balladeer, Sheena Easton switched gears and attitude and unleashed A PRIVATE HEAVEN, which housed the infamous hits 'Strut' and 'Sugar Walls' and made her a sex symbol after years as a Streisand clone. After the commercial failure of DO YOU, it seems as though her label was a bit skeptical about her retail future, so they held on to this album without ever releasing it. It's not completely hard to understand why--after her success as a dance-oriented artist, this album was virtually all ballads, so there reservations may have had some foundation--we'll never know. It's a shame they didn't give it a try, because it's probably her most consistent album next to THE LOVER IN ME, and doesn't sound nearly as dated as her other EMI albums from that period. There's really not a bad song here--the standouts, though, are definately 'Wanna Give My Love', 'The Last To Know'( later recorded by Celine Dion), and the album's highlight, the Prince-penned 'Eternity'. Vocally, Easton' voice was at the height of its' glory--this should have really reinforced her standing as a first-rate song interpreter. As it stands, it remains a diamond in Easton's sometimes spotty album catalog.
 Lost Sheena Easton Album Is Found October 17, 2000
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
"No Sound But A Heart" is the great lost Sheena Easton album - lost in the United States anyway. One single, Prince's "Eternity" (also covered by Chaka Khan) was issued, and the entire project was scrapped here, although it was released in Canada. At the time (1986), Sheena Easton was enjoying a remarkable career, one which found her straddling the top 40, dance, r&b, adult contemporary and country charts at one time or another, and there was no reason to think she would drop off in popularity anytime soon. But when the supposedly sure-fire "Eternity" was only a minor hit, this satisfying album was the casualty. Contract negotiations evidently played a big part as well. No matter, "No Sound But A Heart" is here, a voluptuously mellow Sheena Easton contemporary pop ballad set, primarily helmed by Marin County's estimable Narada include a Christmas song from the "Santa Claus" movie (remember that one?); an edgy, semi-successful new wave "Shock Wave" co-Michael Walden. The title song is a real gem,and "Floating Hearts" is a moody standout, but there are no clunkers on this set. Sheena's vocals are smooth and emotional. The four bonus cuts written by Easton; and the two superb big beat numbers Sheena did in the film "About Last Night," both written by Tom Snow and Cynthia Weil, "So Far So Good" and "Natural Love," two of her best recordings ever.
 This Sheena Easton "time capsule" one of her best October 7, 1999

Perhaps the days of sequenced synth-pop from the 1980's are over. That doesn't keep this album from sounding as refreshing today as it would have been if it had been released back in 1987 when it was made. Who knows, Sheena could have had a couple of more top-ten hits if some of these songs had been released. From timeless ballads for which Sheena is famous, like "Still Willing to Try," to electronic-drum-and-synthesizer period pieces such as "No Sound But A Heart," the songs on this album provide a rare confluence of quality song material, professional production, and Sheena's beautifully expressive voice.
This is Amazing and Beautiful!!!! August 16, 2004

I went on a Sheena buying spree and went for the CDs I didn't own (most of them) and replacing my vinyl. What's up with MCA not releasing this?? After drudgingly listening to "My Cherie" and "No Strings" when this came I thought "Well, I already know "Eternity" so maybe it's not gonna be such a drag!" Well this to me is one her most consistent and listenable recording projects of her career. Her voice is in great form, the material excellent. I just wish One Way Records had included more information on the CD liner as there are really no credits except the writers. There isn't a dull track on this recording. Sheena really got short shrifted career wise. Who the hell managed her anyway?
Hidden Treasure Finally Found! September 6, 1999
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Long-awaited 1987 album is now finally available. Recorded after the disappointing dance venture flop "Do You", "No Sound..." is every bit as refreshing now as it was 12 years ago.
Working with the best of producers such as the late Keith Diamond, the great Narada M. Walden and Prince, Sheena has made an excellent unsurpassed ballad album containing such great potential hits like "No Ordinary Love", "Last To Know" and "Floating Hearts".
No effort was spared, including the exquisite photo session by famous celebrity photographer, Herb Ritts.
With a smooth and silky vocal not demonstrated by nowaday artists, Sheena was at her best in "No Sound But A Heart". Two other lady singers covered tracks from "No Sound...": Patti LaBelle did "Still In Love" and Celine Dion sang "The Last To Know" on her debut English album.
Due to contractual disagreement, this precious gem of an album never saw the light of the day - only a few foreign pressing existed - until now!
One Way Record has generously included four bonus tracks. Also recommended: Check out "You've Learned To Live Without Me" from her 1995 "My Cherie" CD album. It's the closest thing to achieving "No Sound But A Heart" Part 2!
