They are talking about "cut", I believe. They sent me a copy too, and I hope to write something more about them once I see them live on the 19th. My first reaction was that the singer must be channeling Kate Bush at times :) Didn't notice any resemblance to Frente though.... - ------------------------------------------------------ "Today I want to talk about piracy and music.

But I immediately had to plop in one of my Danialle Dax cds and compare the two.. *Very* strong similarities I think... moo.

But with this one, I don't know - - it actually seems rather accent-less to me... >i'm afraid i don't really see the kate bush comparison though. will >have to try listening again with that in mind! I think I meant the way she sometimes breaks into her falsetto voice, and the vocal mannerisms seem a bit Kate-like at times. Especially on the slower tracks, "five eight" and "a is for apple"... but now they're starting to remind me of someone else - I just don't know who that might be yet. It can't be Danielle Dax because I don't know her, though now I'm thinking I probably should. >Damon Harper _/\_ "It would help if we could >damon@jumeaux.bc.ca __\ /__ somehow raise the average level > \ / of clue in the universe by >http://jumeaux.bc.ca/damon/ |/||\| about 437%" - me Your sig reminded me of this quote: "I wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence.
