Her name is Rose Polenzani. She plays guitar (among other things) and she's kind of folky-rock. I went to her web site: http://www.rosepolenzani.com and downloaded a bunch of her songs and they are great!! Check her out, if you haven't already! ~Amy www.collectedsounds.com a site for women in music formerly ecalos.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 07:10:42 -0700 From: Birdie Subject: Marcella Detroit aka Marcy Levy Greetings! Marcella Detroit (solo, shakespears sister) aka Marcy Levy (eric clapton, leon russell, etc)... Has relaunched her website (wow!) and it contains samples of her upcoming new CD, produced by Paula Jones. Also, there is a link to a Mp3 on the site. New songs are electronica influenced.... Sort of "Everything But The Girl" but with a real edge and wallops of innovation tossed in. Enjoy!

Neal and I just spoke with Veda's manager and he gave us the promo CD for her new EP. Yippee. Have also run into Mary Lydia Ryan, Kate Price, and others I didn't even know were going to be here. Great time overall. Heard a new Scandinavian band last night--Gjallahorn (not sure of spelling). Garmarna fans should definitely check them out--very much like Garmarna with a didgeridoo. Also heard lots of really great Australian bands last night--Tulipan, The Waifs, Chris Wilson, Kerianne Cox, Jeff Lang and more. Really great stuff. Neal and I also had a great time in Seattle visiting friends and I finally got to meet Neile and Jim face-to-face. Well--will post more once we get back.

Actually it was Robert Fripp, not Eno, who made this prediction. Basically he compared overly large entities(such as many corporations) to dinosaurs and asserted that smaller competitors that could adapt more quickly would evolve, like mammels. to replace them.If memory serves he said this around the same time he and Eno were collaborating. On a more musical note it appears that Dan Hicks has recently reformed the Hot Licks. They have released an album (Beatin' the Heat) and are touring.I received the cd for Valentine's Day but haven't been able to listen to it yet. I intend to contact some friends and see them up at the Iron Horse later this month or at the Towne Crier later in the spring. He will be touring for awhile and venues are not merely on the east coast. This should be well worth checking out and may well be a limited time opportunity for those of us who never got to see him live back in the seventies. More info is on his website for those who are interested. np-Jellyfish Kiss-Plank (How can one not check out a group who took their name from a phrase in an early Brian Eno song?) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 19:32:05 -0500 From: Ofer Inbar Subject: Rachael Sage on WBRS tomorrow afternoon Rachael Sage will be performing live on the WBRS Coffeehouse on Friday afternoon, February 16th.

So I have written this review. Rare is the musical work that touches the listener so deeply that it's felt in the cells and in the marrow. The new self-titled release by Woodstock, New York-based Epiphany Project is a profoundly penetrating CD, one that transports listeners to magical places...from the fragile rain of a dark wood to the tempest of a swallowing sea, and back again. Embrace impassioned pianist John Hodian and golden vocalist Bet Williams as they deliver 14 intimate dream segments from which the listener may not wish to wake. Williams' instrument is finely-tuned and flawless, exhibiting phenomenal control from the first cut, "Gone." Feel the soaring of a bird in flight over a scorching desert as driving percussion pushes the creature through the sky. With Williams' ardent, layered vox and Hodian's trail blazing keys, a mighty scene surges onward, upward. "Jealousy" is exquisite; with gorgeous piano, chanting and four separate stringed instruments, one drifts in the waters of lost love buoyed only by courage. Get slinky with Hodian's udu and talking drums and Williams' alluring, breathy tones in "Walkin.'" A song written for Williams' aging grandfather, "Long Gray Line" is a real tear-jerker; with its morsel of snare and trumpet, follow his first days in the military to the moment the folded stars and stripes are handed to his grieving love. Hodian's savage piano accompanies the world music sounds of "Tubwahun," an ancient aramaic clarification of the Beatitudes; Williams' glorious vocal layering unveils a new interpretation: "blessed are those who are close to the earth." One of the loveliest pieces on the album, the instrumental "To The Lighthouse" is nothing short of a soul's sigh, from its suspenseful beginning through the duration of Hodian's fluid keys and Williams' alluring chant-breaths. Without exception, each cut on this album is savory aural ecstasy. To see Hodian and Williams live is to witness their earnestness. There's nothing phony about Hodian's trance as he hovers over the keys or Williams' reverie while she chants. This duo are truly lost in their music, as will the listener be. If you revel in the vehement sounds of Dead Can Dance, October Project or Loreena McKennitt, get this CD from www.epiphanyrecords.com this very minute.
