I can also be very spotty in what I like of artists' work. It's me. I liked Thea's early work and lost interest in her later work. Last year in the great disc purge I re-listened to the early ones and they didn't stick with me, either. I love Charlotte Martin's Stromata and the Veins EP, but the rest leaves me cold. Lydia Ainsworth's first CD was one of my favourite discs that year and I still love and keep it on my playlists, but never picked up the new one because all the tracks and samples I could hear didn't intrigue me at all. Will get the new Camille because I've enjoyed all of hers. Honestly, the thing that has most blown me away this year is my belated discovery of Beyonce's Lemonade. She's never caught my ear before now, but this one is powerful. Don't love it all, but so much of it is total (non-annoying!) earworm material. Lisa Knapp's new one is mostly killer brilliant--Mojo gave it give stars, and I can hear why. Her albums are a little uneven to my tastes, but when she's brilliant she gives me shivers with her combination of haunting-sharp vocals and the mythic background to what she's singing. Heard a couple of tracks off the new Cindy Lee Berryhill (remember her, anyone?) and while they're not Garage Orchestra, which is my favourite of her, it sounds good to me. - --Neile On Wed, 7 Jun 2017, Doug wrote: > I liked Regardless so much that I bought it...my first Thea purchase. > However, my perusal of her other offerings on Spotify just didn't thrill > me.

Maybe it's me, I dunno. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2017 20:36:09 -0700 From: Gregory Bossert Subject: Ane Brun Who knows what about Ane Brun? Her song bOneb was used repeatedly in a PBS documentary on the Cuban Missile Crisis I just watched on the PBS site. I see shebs worked with Syd Matters, whose lead Jonathan Morali scored the game Life Is Strange which is THE BEST (meaning the game and also the soundtrack). Wikipedia says shebs performed with Peter Gabriel. what should i listen to? - -- www.gregorynormanbossert.com -- - -- www.suddensound.com -- ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #2022 ****************************
