Anyway, here's this week's: - --- Rebecca Collins - If you like Jill Tracy or other dark cabaret artists you need to check her out. The first track listed, "Involved," is particularly excellent. http://www.myspace.com/rebeccacollinsmusic Miriam Ingram - Harder to categorize, but I'll try. Lush, evocative, multitextured music. "Slide" is flat-out gorgeous. There's also an album with remixes of her songs, if you like that sort of thing. http://www.miriamingram.com/ ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V14 #32 **************************
