My email address went from onealien@mo.himolde.no to onealien@midgardsormen.net over night ... the fun thing is that I still get email to the first one but when replying to lists for example they tend to not get through. - -- Yngve ****************************************** * One alien has come, unalien to one ***** ****************************************** ***** Blessed be!!! ********************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2004 10:16:46 -0700 (PDT) From: Craig Gidney Subject: House of Hands, by Anna Holmer (another cd baby find) Alien Tongues Reviewer: ethereal_lad What sets Homler apart from other practioners of "mouth music" (Liz Frasier, Lisa Gerrard, Azam Ali, Deidre Dubois) is the glacial, alien quality of her vocals. She also speaks in her invented tongue. The backing tracks are miminalist tribal--very percusive, with sci-fi sound effects. Homler's chattering, singing voice rises above the cacophony like a human theremin. In her brittle tones, you hear the whispering of sorceress, the unuttered thought, the declamations of politicians, the outrage of the opressed. It's a fascinating listening experience. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

I love her previous disc to pieces and from Craig's comments here this one sounds very much like it. I guess yet another cdbaby order is in order. - --Neile On Thu, 3 Jun 2004, Craig Gidney wrote: > Alien Tongues > Reviewer: ethereal_lad > What sets Homler apart from other practioners of > "mouth music" (Liz Frasier, Lisa Gerrard, Azam Ali, > Deidre Dubois) is the glacial, alien quality of her > vocals.
