hmmm....her best ever?
i can't agree with that, tho half the record's better than anything
she's done in the 90s....the single ("glitter..") is a luscious bomb of
a diatribe....still, i couldn't, in good conscience, even rank this disc
alongside "wave"...maybe as good as "dream of life" (which a decade &
more later, sounds really on...most of it, at least.)
going to see her wednesday nite at a beautiful old but refurbished
dance hall here in portland, oregon....i'm honestly on the edge of my seat
waiting...(i've never seen her besides word readings)....
