She sounds almost Nico like at times on that first LP. I think there COULD be more mystery to her story but people lack the vision or imagination to weave that mystery.Yr Heartouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069476478838746714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490107561154549235.post-82369264902552554582009-08-16T11:33:05.855+01:002009-08-16T11:33:05.855+01:00I can't recall how I discovered her - possibly...I can't recall how I discovered her - possibly via Kevin Ayers, but those albums are all great - I rate them a lot more than Vashti Bunyan's Diamond Day (she's a rare case of someone making better music now, although I liked her Immediate period stuff too). <br /><br />I can't help feeling that she gets overlooked because unlike Vashti or Nick Drake, there isn't a great mystery to her story. <br /><br />(Not that she's exactly overlooked, but still unheard of outside of certain circles)JulesLthttp://www.modculture.comnoreply@blogger.com
