Yea, the CD isn't bad either, though somewhat limited in dynamics (see below for those interested - also Fur Felix up at song of the day). Good to hear about the vinyl. She reminds me of Laurie Anderson at times, but with the use of drones it takes on the feel of something by Sheila Chandra, both very inventive and fun artists. And of course the inevitable Kate Bush comparisons, but less so for me. Surprisingly addictive.

Thanks for the heads up on Mt. Eerie!
