...and while I'm on the subject of outstanding music, Happy's vocals in the
title track of "Many Worlds are born Tonight" are transcendent. That
sound is like audio velvet. It reminds me too of First Nations
traditional singing, which employs tone clusters to great effect. When I'm
working on my art, I listen to that cd more than any other--that groove so
fits my creativity. So now a confession, I first bought a cassette of
Rhodes Songs in 1993 and played it until I wore it out, and never replaced
it. I finally purchased the cd earlier this year, and hearing it anew was
such a revelation that I purchased "Many Worlds" right away. What should I
buy next? Any advice? Obviously, I need to buy them all. I'm in the
process of buying Many Worlds cds for my nearest and best on my Christmas
list.
It's too good not to share. Because the needy is everyone.

Good for you! If I might suggest, you should buy "The Keep" next. It's so
quietly gorgeous and achingly beautiful, I can't imagine anyone not loving
it immediately.
Then alltherest :)
If I were you, or any newish fan, I would seriously consider snatching up
the earlier albums while they can still be had for a reasonable price.
Ecto's all sold out, so those are going to start showing up on ebay at
horrendous prices. Again. (before Happy started selling them on her web
site, I know of someone who paid $40.00 for an Ecto CD, and I know they've
gone for more). I don't know numbers, but the others aren't going to last
forever. There weren't that many pressed to begin with.
