Here's my idea: for Basia's next tour, she wears at least one outfit made out of Lego! It can't be ANY harder to wear than the dress made out of metallic tiles with the Halina Tymusz painting on it from the TSI tour! Ashoke, what's up!?! Long time no hear!

Well, to be honest, I find Edyta's album better than Mariah's offerings - some of them at least. I also have to say that Edyta has so far done two albums, while Mariah had been with us for 10 years. On the "Edyta Gorniak" album my favourite song is "Gone" because it reminds me of Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack and "Anything" because I like the dance sound that Chris Neil did.

My sinsearest appologies to any that my comment offended. I just thought it was funny at the time. I think it's about time this whole "Lego" themed link was put to rest. It started out having a connection to Basia but it seems to be going off track. Let me start a new link here... Has anybody checked out the Basia items at eBay? There seems to be alot of people selling "A New Day" on video. - ---------- >From: "Kent Bennett [kbennett@thomaslargesinger.com]" >To: basia@smoe.org >Subject: RE: basia-digest V4 #152 >Date: Fri, Jul 23, 1999, 9:52 AM > > >Sorry, you're right.

Ever seen her live? Again, welcome to the list.

Maybe we can get the list a bit more animated now. Speculation about tours and new recordings brings out the best in us. Personally, I'm thinking we'll see the new millennium before a new release.

Last time I was there, I read in the newspaper that Basia was giving a small concert... on the day after I was due to leave! Argh! No, I've never seen her in concert but would dearly love to.

Howdy All! I'm kinda new to the list too. I came to love Basia's music rather late in life. My favorite tunes of hers are the one's with a lot of energy and a lot of instrumentation: A New Day for You, Cruising for Bruising, Drunk on Love, Freeze Thaw, Run for Cover, etc. I like some of the more tranquil tunes too: Astrud (because I really love Astrud Gilberto's music), Take Him Back Rachel (who was Rachel anyway??), and many others. I know everybody has different musical tastes, but I'd like to know what draws other people to Basia's music. Here's what really attracts me to her: - - musicality - - vocal range - - unique voice - - lyrical music - - musical variety - - the emotional crescendos/decrescendos I go through when I listen - - her accent! (I find it romantic and attractive, but I'm a male from the USA, what can I say?) Someone asked the other day what other singers have music similar to Basia's? That's not an easy question! She's kinda unique in the biz. Someone who's kind of obscure and is now starting to break through is Angela Higney (check out www.higney.com, or you can sample some of music for free at www.mp3.com, search for "Higney"). I like her music, but it doesn't have the benefit of a full production that Basia enjoys. I suspect it's because she hasn't hit it big yet and doesn't have the financial backing required for a full instrumental group. Someone else who's even more obscure is Joanna De Seyne. The few pieces I've heard of hers have been excellent, but really hard to find. I only have only one mp3 on my hard drive. Well...enough. It's nice to read all your comments.
