I got mine in the mail yesterday!
This is exactly the kind of album I wanted from her, long with tons of different songs and sounds.
Disk 1 reminded me of Kate Bush in a few places. (No complaints about that!) She is obviously an influence. Especially vocally!
My favorites:
01 - Easy (6:04)
03 - '81 (3:52)
06 - Baby Birch (9:30)
11 - Go Long (8:03)
(My #1 favorite on first listen, love the lyrics)
14 - Esme (7:56)
16 - Ribbon Bows (6:11)
17 - Kingfisher (9:11)
My only complaint would be the recording is poorer in my opinion compared to Ys. Her vocals sound a little muffled. Sounds like they tried to soften them which took away from some of her magic.

Go Long is so amazing. I am sad about the vocal recording though. It sounds like they tried to bring the high parts of her voice down a couple notches. Why did they do that?  All instruments are recording beautifully though. Actually, I blame the mixing dude. |
