maybe she sounds like urusla rucker,
but the second part of star suite (shelter remix, by blaze if i'm correct)
is the most amazing/moving uplifting thing i've heard recently (with the
exception of herbert's new album).
Also, has anybody else around here listened to _la taverne du lac_ (by some
German trying to be frnch). it's a very surprising mock-compilation album...
give it a try
