I have nothing against her telling her story (I think this world needs > to wake up to just how many woman (and men too) are raped or sexually abused) > but I don't like the way she comes across. But ah well. Not to beat a dead horse, but I must comment on this one. I know little about Fiona, though I did like 'Tidal'. I didn't even know she was raped until this thread, being the type that rarely looks up info on artists (this list is one exception) - though I do read it if it comes my way. You may not intend your post to come off this way, but I find it incredibly unfathomable to criticise *anyone's* reaction to being raped, or any type of way that they would portray themselves. That she is in the position to "portray herself" at all, especially when she was raped at such an age (where she's old enough to know something's really really wrong, but not having the life's experiences and perspective to have a chance of reasoning about her experience in light of how the world unfortunately is), is nothing short of a miracle. It is a shame that most people in the industry will care so little about her as a person that perhaps her fame will make it even more difficult to deal with it. I would imagine that there is a time after every crisis where one feels "weak and messed up"; and I wonder if there is any way to judge someone's reaction to an event like this, even if one has lived through a similar situation. We react in different ways. Appearing to be a "stronger person" in the face of such a situation may in fact deny one of some necessary grief and healing, which suppressed, may become destructive... Again, I may be responding more to attitudes I find in general in this society than to specifics in your post, but the notion that a victim of rape should just keep a 'stiff upper lip', 'grin and bear it', or 'refuse to be a victim and use the anger in a constructive way' is little more than damage control; there should never be a situation in which these decisions have to be made. The best thing is for people to speak out, in any way that they are able, as often as they can, in their own ways. If it is uncomfortable to see an otherwise "successful, talented" person who "has it made" in so many ways to be "weak and messed up", maybe this is the sort of discomfort we must all feel, more of the time, and more severely, in order to get into the mindset where enormity of this type of assault on body and spirit is given as much attention as say, the dow jones industrial average (United States measure of economic 'health'). I know this is off-topic, but I could not fail to make some response on this point. - -Richard. @ \@/ Richard A.

While it does say prominently inside the CD booklet for TDC "All lyrics written by Milla Jovovich," I don't believe that is meant to imply that the lyrics were all she did. If you check the credits on each song you'll see that often she is the only one given a songwriting credit, which would be rather odd if someone else wrote all of the music. I also remember her introducing the newer songs she did during the TDC tour as songs she had written, and I don't remember reading anything in the interviews that were done at the time that made it sound like she wasn't writing the music as well as the lyrics. She probably did have some help setting up the arrangements, but I would consider that to be all that unusual among singers who don't play instruments (and probably many who do as well). On the subject of Milla's new CD, after it was first mentioned here on ecto I went to the web site and listened to a few of the sound samples... and pretty much hated them. Everything that I had liked about _The Divine Comedy_ (and Milla's later more acoustic stuff that she only did live) was missing and had been replaced by things I really didn't like in the least. Ugh. And yes, that means I have no intention of ever buying the CD.

Oh, I never read anything that explicitly implied that. But it seems strange to me that they go out of their way to make it clear that she wrote all the lyrics, but don't give any real indication who was responsible for the music. I also have some problems with her creating that music without being able to play any instruments. Not impossible, but improbable. Which is part of the mystery of Milla for me. None of which prevents me from enjoying the album. neal np: Gerty - carload of scenic effects ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 00:14:35 -0500 From: Richard Subject: Per request- HTR on AOL (Long) Carol sayeth: > Thank you, Richard.

AMG REVIEW: Happy has a voice which will be (exhaustively) compared to Kate Bush and Annie Lennox's; there's just no way to avoid the comparisons, but her visions are a bit darker, say in the gothic-apocalyptic vein -- or, rather, lots of blood red roses and peeling wallpaper kind of moods ... Anyway, it's just the greatest voice, and when she self-harmonizes, the result is just heavenly! The instrumentation is highly melodic and sometimes heavy synth, with sprightly counterpoints -- "complex and labyrinthine but at the same time totally natural." This 1987 release is her 4th; highly recommended! -- Ladyslipper I bought Happy's latest, and I must say, it is boring. I like her earlier, more Kate like stuff better. If you are in a Kate drought, buy some early Happy.

I think Happy in her earlier works, is identical to Kate. This is a good thing IMO, and I use Happy to supplement my CD collection, since Kate does not produce much. Happy has a much wider vocal scale than Kate, hence Happy's lower range. I also think Happy sounds more like Laurie Anderson, than Annie Lennox in her lower range. Happy has moved away from the Kate like sound in her more recent works, IMO, which may explain why I am not crazy about her latest. I personally cannot understand all the Kate/Tori comparisons, when Happy sounds like she is trying to do a Kate vocalization.

I posted to this list (about a year ago now) with a Happy Rhodes question and I was slammed to the virtual ground and pulverized for it! Nice to see that the mood has brightened a bit! As for the essential Happy Rhodes, I'd suggest an album that seems to have been missed on the discography posted here. The album is called RhodeSongs, and is a compilation of some of her better recordings. Also, the collections Aural Gratification 1 and 2 are quite good. It features several ambient-type tracks from Happy and others, including the original instrumental version of Ra Is a Busy God, which re-appears with lyrics on the new album. I was also digging through some old cassettes when I came across one that had an excerpt from the Echoes radio show. The segment I had on tape was a neat little piece on Kate Bush, Happy Rhodes, and Liz Fraser. It featured short bios, interview snippets, and songs from each. Personally, I do not care whether or not Happy and Kate share similarities. They are both great musicians, and great vocalists. The feeling I get when listening to Kate is one of emotional and spiritual lifting. When I listen to Happy, I feel like the most caring person in the world has wrapped their arms around me. I like both feelings alot. And I need them both. Be well, everyone......... J.

A recent post indicated there had been some talk of Happy here, so I thought I'd pop in for a look. I discovered Happy after WXPN in Philadelphia played some cuts from Warpaint on the air. I was moved and shaken to my very core and have become a major fan. I also have the good fortune to count her and Kevin Bartlett (her Significant Other and founder of Aural Gratification, as well as a totally amazing musician) as personal friends. (A long and interesting story for another time!) I'm grateful to see that she has fans on this board. I understand we're all different and one person's deepest musical experiences are another's waste of time. Still, I'm hoping more and more people will discover this amazing artist. Years ago, someone at Tower records called her a "slow burn". She's still that, but I'm hoping that before too long she'll catch fire and become much more widely known. With her earlier recordings becoming harder to obtain, I urge any of you who have not yet heard her to check your local stores. Meanwhile, I understand Samson will be making the earlier titles available by special order (though I'm not fully sure of this). While I absolutely love the new album, it is apparent that some people find it a little difficult to "get". It does take several listens to begin to see the finely woven patterns. Definately not easy music, but the effort is ultimately quite rewarding. My first exposure was Warpaint, thanks to WXPN, and I usually suggest that one as a good first step into her world. The first four albums, by the way, were actually not originally intended for release, but rather were studio experiments. The engineer who recorded them played the tapes for Kevin at the studio and the rest is history! Anyway, Season's Greetings to all of you, and my thanks for your interest in my favorite artist.

Love Rachel PS-I love the new album.....but it did take me a few listens :) ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V4 #445 **************************
