Thank goodness they recorded BOB before shutting down. After reading Basia's interviews at the Polish station (translations are on the BasiaWeb site) I understood for the first time just how difficult the music recording industry is. If she has retired from music, (and that does seem to be the case) I can understand why. http://basia.techwood.org/ ~ Jim >From: >Reply-To: basia@smoe.org >To: >Subject: Re: Box set.... >Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 13:02:27 -0500 > > >Just posted a note to the list - not really a box set, after all... > >And yes, I just recently purchased Clear Horizon.... nice... almost a >"greatest hits", but you're right - there are a few new ones.

As much as I enjoy the earlier two albums and incidental songs, I have to say that _TSI_ is one of the best albums I've ever heard by anybody; I loved almost every song on the first hearing. Perhaps it is because some of the melodies rely on common themes, but I can't pick them out if this is the case--they seem very original, yet hauntingly familiar (especially "Perfect Mother"). I would love to see her in concert, but I guess that's a long shot at this point in time. Regards, Bruce Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!
