We've got some exciting updates for you! Most notably, the new album THE BLISTERING SUN just went to both College and Triple A radio formats, and is already garnering all kinds of airplay all over the country. Let's see, where to start: 1. **WILDFLOWER DEBUTS AT #9 ON "RADIO & RECORDS" MOST ADDED CHART** Yes, in its first week at radio the new single "Wildflower" made it onto the "Top 10 Most Added" Chart for the Triple A format in R&R Magazine. What does that mean exactly? Well, it basically means that some key stations dug the album enough to add it to their fairly limited playlists along with other "Adult Album Alternative" artists like Guster, John Butler Trio and Red Hot Chili Peppers...yay! 2. **WILDFLOWER ADDED TO OVER 20 TRIPLE A STATIONS IN ITS FIRST WEEK AT RADIO** These included: KDNK, KKCR, KLCC, KOHO, KRVM, KSYM, KTAO, WCOO, WRNK, WTMD, WUKY, WVIA, WUOU and more! Please request "Wildflower" on your local Triple A or College station now & help keep Rachael on the radio (which will really help spread the word about her new CD & bring in lots of new listeners!). If you're unsure what format your local station might be, you can look it up at this groovy website: www.radio-locator.com 3. **THE BLISTERING SUN DEBUTS AT #15 ON "CMJ MAGAZINE'S" TOP 20 MOST ADDED CHART!** CMJ is the College Music Journal...which reported that Rachael's new CD was added to some 40 college radio stations in its very first week! In addtion, the song "Alright, OK" appeared at #85 on the CMJ Indie Only Radio Track chart, which reflects airplay of individual songs on the biggest college stations. Thanks so much to all our friends at College Radio! Rachael used to be a DJ herself, so she always appreciates the willingness of students to give brand new music a spin :) 4. **RACHAEL'S ENTIRE CATALOG NOW AVAILABLE AT ITUNES, INCLUDING HER NEW CD!** OK you hipsters - go to www.itunes.com and type in "Rachael Sage". Yes, all seven albums come up - thanks to the diligence of our beloved Label Manager JoJo Gentry and the fine folks over at ITUNES...woo hoo! 5. Rachael's website is currently being revamped in honor of her new CD, and should be up reasonably soon! Thanks to you for your patience, and to web guru Meredith Tarr (who also happens to be Rachael's fantabulous Tour Manager) for helping out with this project :) 6.

I don't know many of the lyrics, but I'm singing along, very catchy electronic pop with a detached lady robot singer. I thought both women (Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo) were singing at once since there was a (pleasant) characterless flat/pure quality to the vocals, like that produced by merged voices, but it seems that Mira contributes fewer vocals now, most notably the Bulgarian 'Fighting in built up areas'. Music reminds me of early Depeche Mode and other 80s poppy gothy electronica (like Cocteau Twins' first album Garland with beats). Apparently it is 'electro clash', but I really don't want to know what that means. 'Destroy everything you touch' and 'International dateline' are great pop songs (she sings "Woke up in the evening/ To the sound of the screaming /Through walls that were bleeding /All over me" in the latter). The second half of the album sounds samey to me, but since the tracks are arranged differently on different versions, who's to say how it'll fall for you. karen ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2006 04:30:29 -0700 (PDT) From: "Xenu's Sister" Subject: Anneli Drecker likes Happy!

I gave Bel Canto a copy of RhodeSongs many years ago together with some written info. Never heard a thing. Better late than never I would say. - -- Yngve ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V12 #99 **************************
