You have to see this video!  Clair De Lune with words!

She actually pulls it off with flying colors!

Did I mention perfect pitch in my previous post? I think even Debussy fans (VC included) would be impressed by this

Thanks Tylor

Masquerade only does more to confirm Merry Ellen's brilliance.  Its a great example of how her vocal style draws
you into a song until you can't seperate her voice from the very fabric of the material itself. Perfect pitch helps

Yeah, I really enjoy SOTOR as well; its one of the other tracks that really stands out from the 10 available on youtube
including the Peter Gabriel cover (which I find awesome also; its true to the original but very much Merry Ellen as well)

Tylor you've done it again! Merry Ellen is the genuine article   Lets hope her musical journey continues in the same
vein and despite comparisons to Spektor, McLachlan, Amos and Jewel, she finds her own identity with such a unique
voice   I'll go out on a limb and say MEK is possibly the biggest breath of fresh air to the industry since Kate Bush!!
(provided Merry Ellen can find the same kind of chemistry with a producer as Kate Bush found with Andrew Powell)

Got my copies of Glass Doll last night; the package had not been 'delivered' to me sooner b/c I do not have a pidgeon
hole in the front office at work, so it was slotted into the F&B Manager's pidgeon hole instead. He just got back from
a fortnight's holiday, so I have no idea when it actually arrived other than to say I'm thrilled to have the 1st copies of
Glass Doll in Australia! I'm so happy to have been able to get hold of the bonus track by ordering early... it ROCKS

Hi Shannon

Don't know about a faster delivery (at least at the Aussie end) of GD... the only way Aus Post could explain the time it
took to deliver my Boomerang (it arrived today), is if they had re-instated a form of transport that made its last run in
1924 (unless you count the 1963 run between Cooktown & Melbourne), which proved a Qld - Vic delivery was viable!

Hi Shannon

Thank you for the confirmation of transaction e-mail. I'm more than happy to be one of the '1st 50' to order Glass Doll
& will be delighted to share the 2nd copy that I've ordered with someone deserving. "It Must Be Nice" indeed ROCKS!

As for restoring my faith in Australia Post, I might have to wait until early next week when I have time to chase up the
missing package from my home phone (I don't expect to get any strait-up answers as to why they didn't try to contact
work if there was an issue at their end with the package). As for the copies of Glass Doll, all I can say is God Speed

HP6 (aka Harry Potter & The Half-blood Prince) opens today. If I can kick what seems to be a bout of H1N1 I've been
suffering for the last three days, it would make a good distraction... where's a spell to cast out ills when you need it?

I finally got hold of a copy, but after registering at a bunch of sites offering pay-for-dl via Paypal that also required a
credit card as a back-up to the e-cheque used for the transactions, I had to resort to the link by Kupalski above  

Really loving Two Birds & Folding Chair. Dance anthem of the 80's such a great comment on dating in that period

Hi Shannon

Thanks for the reply. I'm still waiting on a package to arrive that I mailed to myself last Tuesday (its supposed to take
4 working days to arrive), from Queensland. Certainly has done nothing to increase my faith in Australia Post, as I've
lost orders during shipping previously, so this is concerning. Hopefully the copies of GD don't suffer such misfortune

Hi Shannon

Just about to send you a PM with an address for the copies of GD other than the one I registered at Pay Pal with... its
proving almost impossible to find a share option here to reduce the rental expense. As much as I'd like to stay here in
Daylesford, finding new staff for the kitchen (most ideal share option) is proving such a challenge, even the owner has
asked me if I knew of any Queensland-based chefs that would be interested in a position here at the Lake House

Hi Shannon

The 'new look' official webby is amazing... I can't wait until I get the Mac Mini & Corel X4 and can produce artwork like
that without even trying hard   Best part is the catchiest tracks from GD feature at the front end of the introduction
(i.e. N2M as the third track). Be prepared for an unprecedented response to your material and hopefully sales to boot

Peace
