I'm currently relistening to her second CD, How To Say Goodbye, and I'm yet again blown away at how good this stuff is. It's an EXCELLENT release...she's even more underrated, IMO, than Happy is, though I won't dare to compare the two. Susan is more rock'n'roll oriented anyway, less electronic, less tech-geeky. Does that make her less Ecto? I dunno. Anyway... Her newest (and third) release, Surfacing to Breathe, is great too, but it doesn't equal HTSG, I think. What is interesting is that, while it is named similarly to Sarah McLachlan's first post-Fumbling release, it also similarly is good but not-as-good as it's predecessor. IMO of course. ;-) I guess I consider HTSG and FTE the best releases of the respective artists. Some of the tracks on Susan's StB are reworkings of tracks from her first release, Horse of a Different Color, which suffers from a male country-music producer who had no idea how to produce a RnR record by a unique, modern, Ecto-ish female musican, as opposed to the cookie-cutter industry produced cheesecake that the industry is most familiar with. It's worth having for the sake of completism, and to support Susan's art. - --Doug "Instructions are for people who don't know what they are doing" - Bob the Builder ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 11:36:09 -0500 From: Doug Subject: Re: I must recommend If you like video with your sound, be sure to get Susan's live concert video, which was recorded by NBC or somesuch bigname company. The quality is excellent, very professional, and she sings songs from her two newest releases. - --Doug On 5/20/05, JC Kammerzell wrote: > oooh. just went to the website and am listening to, "Get up Go on".

I'll bet Anna Maria has at one point. Her music seems to fall in line with all of the really interesting European artists Anna Maria highlights and reviews for us. I did do a search of the Ectophiles Guide and came up empty. I was bopping through the channels on the radio today and stumbled on this song called "Dance Me to The End of Love". Cool lyrics and European Gypsy jazz style arrangement ala Django Reinhardt with a woman singing that sounded like Billie Holiday. But I could tell from the production that it was a recent release. They said that the lady singing was Madeleine Peyroux. I did a Google search and found out that she has been compared to Billie Holiday by others. I really like the throw back coolness of her style. It was Les Triplettes de Belleville kinda cool. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 19:59:04 EDT From: RavFlight@aol.com Subject: Creative Name-Makers (OT) This has nothing to do with music, TV, or film, so hopefully it will not be too disparaged. I'm actually just hoping to find some help from one or two (or more) people. I work with a nonprofit group called The Stone Soup Project (very new...still setting up our website) Anyhow, we work on projects that are designed to bring people together across cultural boundaries and better understand each other. Well, we have a college program that we run (it is, in fact, how the org. started in the first place), which we are trying to rename. We've been working for about two months now and let me just say that the fruits of our labor have been rather tepid. Anyhow, what's the point? Well, it occurred to me that there MIGHT be some rather creative people-songwriters, lyricists, poets, writers-here on this group that might be willing to help me (off group of course) in brainstorming a bit on a name. I have no idea if there is anyone willing or interested or able, but as we are down to the bottom or our creative jar, and have grown quite desperate, I figured I would chance disturbing the list-peace and asking. I'll also say this: we were offering a price to whomever did come up with a name, and since no one has been able to come up with anything worth noting, I have no problem extending that prize to anyone else who might suggest it...member or not. Anyhow, if this was inappropriate to post, I apologize, and thank you to anyone who considers helping. You can just e-mail me directly and not bother the group further (RavFlight@aol.com.) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 18:46:47 -0700 From: Paul Schreiber Subject: Re: Bob's movie, and who should I go see at Schubas in Chicago?

Anne's quite good. Frank Marotta Jr. is the other half of Anne's band; I assume Kim is the opener. > June 4: Charlotte Martin - familiar name, but ? Here's a ringing endorsement for Ms. Martin and her piano. Go! She is selling a new EP on this tour; no idea what it sounds like.

Her version of "Dance Me to the End of Love" grabbed my ear immediately, since it's one of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs. The rest of the album struck me as OK, but not as interesting. Still, she's one of the better inoffensive quasi-jazz-like singers that have been selling like crazy lately. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V11 #141 ***************************
