I couldn't say it any better. Yours is the best explanation I have heard yet on this list concerning why we all like and adore Basia.

It's 2:15 in the morning here in Japan, and I just had to respond to some of the postings! First of all, I think Megs "dissertation" on what Basia means to her is absolutely beautiful. I think you have put a lot of all of our feelings about here in words--thanks, Meg! I too was first drawn to Basia by "Time and Tide." Whenever I hear music, it usually reminds me of the time, the place, the season, special trips that I made, smells, etc., of the exact or general time that I first heard that song. "Time and Tide" makes me fondly remember my sophomore year of high school (around Fall 1988, I believe), my most favorite year of high school, because I was very involved, was making many friends, and was the year that I was preparing to go to Nagasaki, Japan, as an AFS exchange student. "Time and Tide" makes me specifically remember this one retreat that I went out on to this nature reserve near Yellow Springs, Ohio. The weather that weekend was beautiful, and being surrounded by such beautiful nature was so much fun, and I really enjoyed myself tremendously. I don't know why I attach that memory to "Time and Tide," but I think the song in a way represents all of the positive changes that were happening in my life that sophomore year. I will always be thankful for Basia for this gift! I can remember listening to American Top 40 when "Time and Tide" was on the charts, and remember how well her single was doing despite the "un'pop'piness" of the song, and I would cheer for it to stay longer and longer on the charts. Actually, though, I was kind of a late Basia bloomer, too. Of course I was familiar with the song "Time and Tide," and some of the other songs on "Time and Tide" and "London Warsaw New York," but didn't buy an album until I saw it at my university book store. I couldn't bear living without "Time and Tide" on CD any longer. I thought, "what the hell," and I've been in love with her since. So, I guess "Time and Tide" is the song that sticks out most when I think "Basia." Maybe it does for a lot of other people, too. I remember that it was THE absolute crowd pleaser at her Cincinnati concert. Everybody in the audience identified with that song. Isn't Basia the most gracious artist to her audience? She clearly appreciates her fans, and seems like the nicest person in the world. She talks to them like she knows all of them personally. I will always remember that when I think of her concert. Every time I listen to her songs I just think of how perfect they are. Pure musical genius. Not a sour grape (song) in the bunch. All of them hit right on target, and lead our various happy, sad, jubilant, melancholy, etc. emotions on a meditative dance in Basia heaven. If her next album can do the same as her last ones (which, of course, it will) I would wait eons for it. Good night, people. *snooze* joe ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Joe Palcher ICQ #4618534 English Gone Wrong Gold Medal for the Moment: (found on the wastebasket, decorated with cats, on the porch of a bungalow I stayed at will visiting Koh Samet, Thailand) "We are very cool and probably one of the most composed beings but when we cat we get wild on instinct.

I've been thinking of putting some samples of Basia in MP3-format on the web for a while now. This means dumping tracks directly from CD and compressing them while maintaining great quality. This means entire songs, so it quickly becomes a copyright issue. But if there's interest for this, send me your requests and I'll try to create a page JUST for people on this list. In other words: we'll keep it our own little secret...;-) Cheers, Anders Oslo, Norway ahamre@mail.hf.uio.no ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Apr 1998 13:16:05 PDT From: "Bruce Anderson" Subject: Re: 3rd Time Lucky >I've been thinking of putting some samples of Basia in MP3-format >on the web for a while now.

Yes, this is true. But we shouldn't publicly announce the URL (once it becomes available). > Well, I'd have to request stuff from singles, which includes just about > every single she ever had, except the original Brave New Hope (which I > was lucky enough to get). Particularly, I'd like to hear newer stuff, > like Angels Blush and so-on. I'll make Angels Blush and Waters of March my first priority. I've got the AB promo (courtesy of Roach), and Enrique Lugo Becerril has already offered a wave dump of WOM. As for the rest, they'll include: "Give me that" (from Brave New Hope) "Third Time Lucky" (new version - from the DOL EP) "Drunk on Love" (extended dance mix - from the TTL EP) "Just Another Day" (from Peter White's "Caravan of Dreams") Feel free to make requests from any of the albums (euro. editions, including Best Remixes I&II, Brave New Hope EP and DOL/TTL EPs).

Well, I haven't purchased anything by Basia since her live album a couple of years ago, and since it's way too difficult for me to just wait (I'm not known as a patient person), today I just purchased "London Warsaw New York". Again. I've listened to the CD a billion times; now I have a vinyl copy to wear into the ground. I'm not all THAT old but I was "raised" on vinyl (unlike many of those my age who only own cassettes and compact discs) so it's kinda comforting to hear those songs with a harsher top end and god-knows-how-many pops and clicks (it's a used record - cost only 4 US dollars). Ah - nostalgia! Just thought I would share that.

Ah - nostalgia! > Jeff you seem to be using the same 6 inch nail that a friend of mine used when he borrowed my vinyl albums and played them on his old phonograph :) Dont worry even the new CD can get scratched, but at least you dont get a needle stuck in the groove. Now you have to be worried about not putting the CD in the slot correctly and then the door closing and warping your CD. bfn BobR ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V3 #79 **************************
