I do and she has a fabulous voice, but she is not classically good looking so will always be the barrier to mainstream recognition, sad but I feel true, just look at the ladies featured on the thread and you'll see what I mean. Me personally its always been a womens personality that wins over looks and if she can express that in her music then its a winner for me. Thats why I like Siouxsie Sioux, Patti Smith and Alice type of women singers they have "balls", music that has intelligence and creativity unlike many of the modern women singer songwriters.

She is featured on this cracking funk album as well.

Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons "Badlandia"

I know Alice Russell doesn't appear on all of these but these are damn good albums anyway.

Yep and these are worth trying from the multi-instrumentalist Will Holland.












Dean...

Simple Minds go massive with....






Dean..

sometimes I just don't listen to the excellent albums I have concentrating on listening to something new (or new to me)

I've just listened to this with new ears.


An exceptional album sounding as fresh now as the day it was spawned.

Ooooooo! the mystery what could it be?



Dean..

Sonatas & Trio to go with the snow outside.

A fabulous vinyl double this is, the music is well, fantastic and wholly original.






Dean...

On Silver!

A Return to form for Mary!

Stu,

OK but you have been warned I'll think about it today.



Dean...

Edna Stern

From The Independent.

Pleasingly minimal, ambiently inclined duo of pianist Battaglia and percussionist Rabbia.

The spare, nuanced music is as close to John Cage or Morton Feldman as it is to jazz, but despite the limited instrumentation a great variety of sound is conjured up, with Rabbia using subtle electronics to amplify and extend his kit, and Battaglia sometimes playing a prepared-piano. Recorded superbly in Udine, Italy, this is "audible landscape" in the famous phrase of the poet Rilke, one of whose "Sonnets to Orpheus" inspired the title track.

Part 2 and just as good as part 1
