> [stuff about _Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares, vol.3_]
all three of these albums are great. also check out the Trio Bulgarka and
various other bulgarian albums on the Hannibal/Carthage label (home of
Fairport Convention...)
i, too, bought _The Dreaming_ because of the cover -- i'd never heard of
KaTe. that was 9 years ago and i'm still recovering.
my favorite album is all of them.
my favorite song is all of them. good thing i have all the albums.
my least favorite album is by someone else.
i live in suburbia: the NEIGHBORS scare US.
are there no irish love-hounds? i've been told that being associated with
Planxty (the source of many of KaTe's irish musicians) is somewhat like
having members of Peter, Paul, and Mary play on your album: i.e. uncool.
(no dis intended to those P,P, & M fans out there.) did She perform in
ireland on the Tour of Life?
'm working on the complete Bongwater. anyone out there know if Arson
Garden is still around? what about another Sarah McLachlan (sp?) album?
i think R.E.M.s new one is better than it sounds. the video for _Losing
My Religion_ is one of the few (ever) i'll stop to watch. (along with
New Order's _Perfect Kiss_ and _True Faith_, the Smith's _How Soon Is Now_,
and KaTe's _RUTH_, _Cloudbusting_, _The Dreaming_, and _SiG_.) (Well,
Alright, i will sit through some others, but there aren't many that don't
feel like a waste of time.)
hmm, better footah out of here before i get opinionated, or somethin'

Yep, I remember. Greg and I were roommates at the time, and my basic reaction to TD was "weird stuff, greg." Actually took me several years to get over that initial reaction, and a few more beyond that before I decided for sure that TD is one of the great albums of all time. Despite my undying gratitude to greg for introducing me to KaTe, I'm going to disagree with him. You *had* heard of KaTe before, from her backing vocals on PG III (this being back in the days when we always read all the credits religiously). You even mentioned that to me when you first showed me the album (or at least that's the way I remember it). -dan, in a revisionist mood (and it was 8.5 years ago, not 9...) Oh yeah, favorite single: "Ne T'enfuis Pas", followed by "Under the Ivy". -- -Dan Riley (riley@theory.tn.cornell.edu, cornell!batcomputer!riley) -Wilson Lab, Cornell University

In fact, they gave a concert in my dorms cafeteria last September. I heard that Arson Garden was here in town either early this month or late last month, but I didn't hear about the show until the day after. Sigh. Finally old enough to go see 'em in the various bars they play, and I don't find out in time. No, I don't know if an album is in the works, etc., etc. But I gather that they are still together.

Planxty was one of the foremost Irish folk bands of the seventies and they have been extremely influential in this field. Also, the excellent Christy Moore was once a member, amongst others (Donal Lunny too ? I forget). Anyway, what with the emergence of groups such as the Pogues and the Waterboys in recent years, I don't think Irish music has ever been as "cool" ! Though I sincerely trust that this isn't the reason people are getting into it. > hmm, better footah out of here before i get opinionated, or somethin' > -greg -- gb10@gte.com Declan declann@sco.COM
