Indigo girls
Posted by: Minky on 23 August 2003
Last night after everyone had buggered off I put on Indigo Girls "Become you", put the lights out, closed my eyes and discovered that after over a year of regular listens, this album still reaches places most albums can't.
I could have posted this on many of the threads here but I did a search of "Indigo girls" and only found a few passing references so I thought RIGHT !
The girls really do deserve a thread of their own so I have taken it upon my own broad shoulders to bestow one upon them. If you are at all like me, when (if) you listen to this type of music (acoustic folk/rock) you want beautiful melodies, intelligent lyrics, great vocals/harmonies, fantastic arrangements played by superb musicians with passion. You get all of the above from this album and more.
For me, the most complete work of IG's catalogue and one of the standout albums of 2002 and with the wind behind it, would probably make it into my desert island trunk.

Pleased to be of help 
I forgot to tell you so I hope it's not too late : Don't listen to "She's saving me" 3 times in a row unless you want a week of sleepless nights. That tune is the devil's work

Not on repeat as such but I tend to be a bit greedy. If have a really great moment I want to try and repeat it. Which explains why I spend half my time at WeightWatchers and the other half at the VD clinic.
P.S. That was a joke
Minky, I have been listening to become you as per your recommendation, which I'm enjoying very much, there are three tracks in particular that I find spellbinding; in the order they are presented on the album they are; you've got to show, collecting you, and the superb she's saving me! Intoxicating & mysterious melodys of the highest order 
The only track I dont really think is worthy and seems a little out of place is Yield, the rest of course are growing on me, thanks for this recommend 
PS The quality of recording does seem to vary from excellent to not so good between some of the tracks!
Cheers for now,
Mad Boy Matt
