Ed sez Sinead sez:

When I met her (six months before this interview) she - quite reasonably -
hated to be compared to Kate because _everyone_ (ie, not just |}) did it;
the combined effect was to deny the originality of her music. She must have
mellowed out, or got used to it, over the months.

for those of you who are really interested in and haven't already heard about this... Sinead is also on World Party's album (you remember "Ship of Fools") doing back up vocals. She's also in a World Party video doing some funky dancing and arm flapping. For those of you who don't know who World Party is, well, it's Kurt Wallinger who left the Irish group The Waterboys to go solo. The Waterboys' latest album "Fisherman's Blues" is fantastic to say the least. They have a song called "World Party" on it and it's dedicated to Kurt. What nice fellas. Check it out. time p.s. see The Waterboys live if ya get the chance. time and time again.

The Soundtrack is called 'Captive', the music is by 'The Edge' (from U2) the rest of the album is all instrumental. I found my copy locally, I think it is on Virgin America [I can check if anyone wants]. It is a US release and should still be in print. This soundtrack is what got me started collecting Sinead in the first place... Happy B-Day Tracy -- -Dave datta@vacs.uwp.wisc.edu

I found my copy locally, Isn't the single that tracy was referring to called "Heroine"? I have to agree it's a real nice song, not at all what I'm used to hearing from Sinead(but then, I'm not exactly a fan). Bruce Hansen
