I had Lindi in the car and could have sworn that it was Sarah Slean's night bugs except I didnt recognize any of the songs as Sarahs...and I was thinking that I liked the cd a lot more than I liked night bugs... I have been noticing several artists who have uncanny vocal similarities that I always seem to forget which one I am listening to :) Have you noticed: Rebecca Timmons = Regan (perhaps the most striking of any of them) Heather Nova = Edie Susan Court = Hera Lindi = Sarah Slean Bloem De Ligny (at times) = Bjork any others? - -jason n.p. Lindi (or is it Sarah...) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 09:45:10 -0400 From: gordodo@optonline.net Subject: Re: Sad day my sentiments exactly - favorite quote from all the issues: "[Rachael Sage] plays piano like a cross between Tori Amos and a dump truck full of Life Savers" the net doesn't get much better than that...(strongbad's emails at www.homestarrunner.com sometimes come close though...especially the one about making homestar cry - but now I am totally off topic) thanks glenn jason - ----- Original Message ----- From: Neile Graham Date: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 12:56 pm Subject: Re: Sad day > And extremely well-deserved.

Thank you VERY much! I am listening to it now. (For the second time.) Actually the birthday party is this Saturday, so you still have time to make it. ]:> The volume is a little low. (That is why Jehovah invented volume control.) I really like Electricity. A very cool song. Cyoakhadelic! My Computer is a little slow, but still very good. If I did not already know the original I would have a very hard time associating it with Kate Bush at all. Shamana is very cool. The only problem is at 7:42 it just *ends*. (Very abruptly.) I like the song though. Thank you very much for the incredibly cool birthday present! I have all of the tracks converted to mp3 and ogg vorbis format. (The ogg files are about 5 megs each. The mp3s are much larger. I need to rerip them to something smaller and more net friendly.) > I will send the password privately but wanted to thank you BOTH publically > for being my favorite fanriends for so long.

A great many people are waiting for Kaddith to get pressed and released. It is a very cool soundtrack. HIGHLY recommended.
