| What I've heard has been excellent, the album is on my list of wants
at the moment.

Please tell me more about the Peel Session tracks. I am under the
impression that she recorded 4 songs for a Peel Session. Are all
four on her album? Are the the same recordings which are on the Peel
Sessions or are they they same songs, but re-recorded for the album?

All four songs are on the album, but the session versions are a bit
less polished, as you might expect. Unless you're some sort of
completist, it's not worth buying the sessions disc for the PJH tracks.
However, that sessions album does have four good Stereolab tracks that
are not on their album (but might have been singles), and three tracks
by Th'Faith Healers which are at least OK.

| What are Stereolab like? I've never heard of them.

Lee Cotton posted a review of their album ("Peng") in the album review
note. In fact one of my favourite tracks of theirs, Super-Electric, is
on the Peel album, and not on "Peng".

| No review of "Rid Of Me" yet?
Spent at least the first couple of run throughs in the futile search
for tunes, but once I'd given that up as a bad job I've really got into
it. I think I probably like it even more than Dry, though that could be
becuase of playing Dry to death last summer.

| It's a very good lp, but it does take a few listens to accustom
yourself to the sound. Very unsettling and nerve-fracturing, very odd
melodies (and screeches), loud guitar-playing, monster Steve
Albini-produced drum sound. this will, I suspect, be one of my albums
of the year.
Right up my street.

| She's very upset about *something*, that's for sure. You only have to look
at the surface of the (vinyl) disc to know you're in for trouble; the sound
levels are all over the place. I do like the recorded sound though, it has
a very live and immediate feel. So far, after only a couple of listens, I
respect this record without actually loving it. It's a bit uncomfortable in
places.
