Here's some more 'popular' oriented songs about water: "This world of water" - New Musik "Aquarius" - Gary Fane "Nightswimming" - REM "Water on glass" - Kim Wilde "From a river to a sea" - Private Lives "Lake shore driving" - Duran duran (although this is an instrumental song) "Mermaid" - Sade (another instrumental one) "The sun and the rainfall" - Depeche Mode (off their brilliant 'A broken frame' CD) "Waterfall" - Wendy & Lisa "Waterfall" - Triumvirat ...and the Happy Rhodes songs of course, but they have already been mentioned! Perhaps "Steaming" (Sarah McLachlan)? She mentions water I think... I'm sure there's more, but I still haven't got a good searchable catalog of my collection...

I love husky/smoky voices. Her voice reminds me a bit of Emm Gryner's but I wouldn't compare them musically. I think my favorite thing about RT is the way she uses choruses (I mean multiple voices; not the song structures). I also really like her instrumentation-- strings, horns, woodwinds. This has been in heavy rotation lately. Also AIMEE MANN-- WHATEVER. For some reason I expected AM's music to be harder-edged, but I was pleasantly surprised by her mellowness and her humor. IRENE FARRERA-- SOY DE TI Irene Farrera is from Venezuela, and she has this deep voice, like warm, wet soil. I like this album better than the other one of hers I have, Walking In the Jungle. I think it's also stronger lyrically. Nothing really ground-breaking, but it's a good, solid album of Latin American music. Good instrumentation too, including steel drums on 2 songs, violin, accordion, guitars, drums, and some traditional Latin American instruments. Some songs are sung in English, some in Spanish, and lyrics for all songs in both languages. MANU DIBANGO-- ELECTRIC AFRICA This album sounds like what its title sounds like it would sound like. Electronica and jazz mixed with pop and traditional music. Herbie Hancock guests. Pretty cool. AGRICANTUS-- THE BEST OF AGRICANTUS I haven't listened to this much yet, but it sounds to me like an Italian Gipsy Kings, only perhaps not quite as much fun. DENI BONET-- EP thumbs up. this is much fun. INNOCENCE MISSION-- GLOW thumbs up too. it deserves more listening, but i like it. also got but can't say much yet b/c not enough listens: JOYDROP-- METASEXUAL EMER KENNY-- ADVANCE MUSIC LAUREN HOFFMAN-- MEGIDDA BETH HART BAND-- JoAnn ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 10:10:28 -0800 (PST) From: Bill Subject: Re: $75 EWS and musical joy > i haven't listened to everything yet, but the highlight is > definitely REBECCA TIMMONS self-titled debut.

There is a Bell Canto song, Boat on the Water? I think it's called. Also, someone else (r.lauritsen@get2net.dk)asked about a great album with sea songs and great singers, Suixie, Bjork, Vega, and more....yes, it is great, someone turned me onto it and I have just a tape but it is one of my very favorite albums.....the shamanic singers of those cold countries are amazing. It is called SONGS FROM THE COLD SEAS, the idea being iceland, canada, ireland, scandianavia, russia etc...mostly women, a few big names (vega, siberry, cale, bjork and souxie) but also some norwegian groups and new discoveries for me that I like better than the main big name folks. The guy that recorded and produced it all, pulled it all together did a great job, adding just enough ambience to traditional folk to hip it up without ruining it. I highly highly (and I am very picky) recommend it to all. Also, my San Fran band (Azigza)has a song about being caught in nets like a fish (re:love) called Zaman or Hook to Fin. (I am famous for two choruses) Portland project Land of the Blind has a song called Sirens of Sex City, using the metaphor of the sea sirens about a seduction/witchery thing that happened to me in SF off of my first album. I could get a tape to you of these two or are you just asking for research or are you really going to have to go buy all these albums?

Jeff, Nick Drake is a brilliant singer/songwriter. I adore his voice and his songwriting. The song played in the VW ad is "Pink Moon" from the LP of the same name released in 1972. It is also on a compilation CD on his music, "Way to Blue", and on a box set compilation called "Fruit Tree". "Way to Blue" is a very good compilation and intro to his music. I believe that Neile is a big fan of his music. I know that there is a good listing on Nick Drake in the Guide. He died at a young age sometime in the 70s. I'm not certain how though. A friend of mine, who I turned onto Nick Drake, told me about the VW commercial. I just saw it for the first time the other day. Pretty cool commercial.

So... they are: Holly McNarland-- Live Stuff Wow, she is so cool. A friend mentioned her to me a long time ago, calling her sort of like Sarah McLachlan, but harder-edged, and I agree with that, but to me it's more sort of a Sarah McLachlan-like voice meets PJ Harvey and Alanis Morisette. By that, I don't mean she's a clone in any way. With the possible exception of PJH, Holly probably has the most visceral impact on me. I feel her music, not only intellectually through understanding the lyrics, but I feel it in my bones, and live, it is that much more searing, especially on "Numb" and "I Won't Stay". I'd love to see her in concert someday, but this album will do quite nicely in the meantime. Veda Hille-- You Do Not Live In This World Alone A lot of people have been saying that this album took a bit to grow on them, but then they really loved it, and I can see that, but I don't think it will take as much time to grow on me as _Here Is a Picture_ did. I've only had a chance to listen to it once so far (and during the first half a certain neighbor was singing arias again [damn those voice majors]) but I liked what I heard, and I'm looking forward to listening to it again tomorrow when I can present more coherent thoughts on it. Stina Nordenstam-- And She Closed Her Eyes I got interested in this singer when someone here mentioned her, and I really liked her name. Well, I like the music too. I haven't even finished my first listen of the album yet (the first I've heard by her; it's playing now) but it's good. There's something very whispery, almost child-like at times about the way she sings, and it's sort of not-singing too. Mostly gentle. Quiet, mellow. I like the jazz touches. Various Artists-- Lullaby: A Collection I've been thinking about getting this album for a long time, partly because I really like the cover, and at a good price, I went for it. I already know two of the songs, Libana's "Swedish Lullaby" and Tish Hinojosa's "A La Nanita Nana" a traditional Spanish Christmastime lullaby that is on her Memorabilia Navidena album. These are both beautiful, gorgeous songs, and there are a lot of other cool people on the album, so I'm looking forward to this one. Well. I got a chance to listen to it last night, and it really is good. Highlights among the 10 other tracks are Bobby McFerrin, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Freyda Epstein, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Laura Nyro-- Season of Lights... Rare, Japanese import, at a great price at absound compared to CDNow which had it listed as import and was a lot more expensive. Laura Nyro live. 16 tracks. Oooh, I can't wait. [...later...] Oh, this is great, well worth looking for. The songs are close enough but different enough from their originals to make it a live album well worth buying, and there's even a new song, "The Morning News." The jazz and blues infleunces are more pronounced. Also, a lot of the earlier songs are slowed down here (Timer, The Confession, And When I Die, Captain St. Lucifer Sweet Blindness), which makes them really interesting. The only song this doesn't really work for me on is "When I Was a Freeport and You were the Main Drag," but it's still an interesting contrast to the album version and to the other songs here because it's solo, just Laura and the piano. A lot of the later songs, which admittedly could get a bit tedious on the albums, seem more energetic here. Highly, highly recommended, and a definite must-have for fans. Cocteau Twins-- BBC Sessions i've only listened to snippets so far, but i am so happy to have more cocteau twins. i was so disappointed when i heard they'd broken up. the few songs i've listened to also seem somehow rock/less ethereal, but still very ethereal, and that's an interesting side. i think the vocals are also a bit easier to understand. my only complaint is the lack of info (no real sleeve). But no complaints on the music so far! Indigo Girls-- Come On Now Social Well, as you all know, I was hesitant about this album. I think my fears were mostly that with all the guest artists, that it wouldn't be an indigo girls album, that they were moving away from their two-girls-with-guitars-and-amazing-harmonies and becoming more of a band. But I liked the samples off CDNow well enough to order the album. And, fortunately, these fears were mostly unfounded, and I was very pleasantly surprised by my first listen today. The amount of guest artists seems much less both in quantity and impact than the previews I had read. No track has more than 1 guest on it, and many have none, and the guesting is mostly backing vocals. Natacha Atlas' vocals on the last track are especially good. There are 2 songs I don't like, but mostly this is a very good album, in terms of album standards and indigo girls albums standards, way better than Shaming of the Sun. And the Indigo Girls, the duo, the harmonies, the melodies, are very firmly at the core. Sheila Chandra-- Weaving My Ancestors Voices My Sheila Chandra collection is almost complete. I now have all of her RealWorld albums, and I've had a little preview of Weaving... from the Moonsung collection, but I'm really excited to finally hear it, especially after all the wonderful things I've heard about it from ecto. and still to be listened to: Afro Celt Sound System-- Volume 1: Sound Magic Morcheeba-- Big Calm JoAnn lp: Mary Jane Lamond _Lan Duil_ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 22:28:42 -0700 From: "phclark" Subject: Re: ecto-digest V5 #393, sea songs - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 1999 6:37 PM Subject: Re: ecto-digest V5 #393, sea songs > Hi, I love all the sea songs, I am enjoying the ideas.
