Morning Dove White is the only album from club-oriented Scottish alternative dance act One Dove. The album was released in 1993. The songs "Breakdown", "Fallen", "(The Transient) Truth", "White Love", and "Why Don't You Take Me" were released as singles or 12" singles before the album came out and were very popular, building anticipation for the album which was delayed because of label politics.
Although the album was received very well, NME felt that the pull of influence between the more commercial orientated producer Stephen Hague and the indie Weatherall created a somewhat confused sound, that if the band had went more with Weatherall's sound and not let London records man Hague have such influence then the album might have had a more clear direction in terms of sound. NME made specific comparisons of the early single releases with their much more clubby sound and the sometimes muddy pace of the album; ultimately though it was well received.
The album was originally to have been titled Sound, but this was changed shortly before release. "Morning White Dove" was the Native American name of Elvis Presley's maternal great-great-great-grandmother.
Their second album was practicaly complete by 1996 but due to internal conflicts and persistant label conflict the band disbanded. As of 2012 it remains to be released.

Famous quotes containing the words morning, dove and/or white:
“Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of nature—if the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you—know that the morning and spring of your life are past. Thus may you feel your pulse.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“On the day that will always belong to you,
lunar clockwork had faltered
and I was certain. Walking
the streets of Manhattan I thought:
Remember this day. I felt already
like an urn, filling with wine.”
—Rita Dove (b. 1952)
“Full of her long white arms and milky skin
He had a thousand times remembered sin.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
