Thanks, Damon! Susan is a friend, and so I didn't want to be the first person to review this disc, but my assessment of it absolutely agrees with Damon's. She has an individual way of singing. I'm not quite certain how to describe it but she almost evades the notes, as though her voice hits them and then ducks. It's odd but effective. And she's a very creative songwriter--and like other songwriters we know of, isn't afraid to use intriguing references. "Fundevogel (do not forsake me)" is a retelling of a Grimm's fairy tale. "Parrish Blue" refers to the artist Maxfield Parrish... And she even allow herself a sense of humour with "Cameleon" and "Sir Galahad". I agree with Damon that "Between the Quiet" might be my favourite track, though I still love the lush "Senses Out" and "Floodletting" which I knew from her demo cassette, and "High Relief" and "Parrish Blue". And as Damon says, she certainly knows how to arrange a song in intriguing ways, with backup musicians and vocal harmonies. Mmmm. And the artwork on the album and booklet is outstanding--she did that herself, too. For some reason the eggshell picture (with some of her lyrics inside) gives me the shivers. Anyway, so does the music. Right now the disc is only available by mail order from her at www.fundeling.com but she's working on disctribution deals. She's taking, wisely I think, slowly. But the disc is a beauty. - --Neile - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Neile Graham ..... http://www.sff.net/people/neile ..... neile@sff.net The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music .... http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V4 #221 **************************
