[] Alas, I wasn't paying attention when comments on Suzanne Vega were flying around this newsgroup last week - now I've seen/heard her video of "Marlena on the Wall" and have fallen hopelessly, helplessly in love with the music. Could anyone with trivia/opinions/info/reviews/comments on Ms. Vega please send me a note? Soapbox-stander-onners welcome! Thanks a million! -- -=< Valerie Polichar >=- ...sdcsvax!sdcc3!valerie "Stop pouring me water. Stop making me look myself in the mirror. Ah, stop making me lie. Stop making me stop lying."

Suzanne Vega only has one album out. It is called "Suzanne Vega" and was released, I believe, several months ago. It is a complete masterpiece, and should even be perfectly accessible to those who cannot stomach the weird exesses of Kate Bush. Her album is sort of somewhat avant-garde folk, I suppose, and seems to have some Windom Hill influences (though Windom Hill is often considered jazz -- I'm not sure why...) and a little tiny bit of Laurie Anderson influence too, maybe?

Check out Scott Cossu's album 'Islands' (Windham Hill WH-1033). It has a
rather mellow (typical for WH), but pleasant jazzy style to it.
