I've just happened to hear Susan on the radio twice in the past few days. The other night, on WPKN I heard "Salome". It's been so long since I heard the album version, I'm ashamed to say I almost didn't recognize it. :} Last night, on WNYC's "New Sounds" program, John Schaeffer led off the monthly New Releases show with "Lord Baker" from _Lowlands_. Speaking of which, I guess I haven't said anything about the new album here. It's basically everything _Bushes and Briars_ was, only more. I absolutely love it. The instrumentation is even more exotic than on _Bushes and Briars_, and it works very well. I'm not sure who came up with the idea to include things like the kora and erhu, but they were inspired decisions (though I'm sure Mike Curry will be horrified by the entire thing. ;). I'm also happy to see it out on Green Linnet. I'd been wondering for some time why Susan wasn't on that label, since it seems a natural match. Hopefully they'll do good things to promote the album. It's something lots of people need to hear. +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ ------------------------------ End of curiouser V2 #27 ***********************
