Esthero – Breath from Another – Review November 1, 1998 Drum ‘n’ bass ‘n’ trip hop ‘n’ AAA. The equivalent of Barry Manilow for the electronic crowd.
Fiona Apple – Tidal – Review August 1, 1996 Fiona Apple has a tough-chick voice with passive-aggressive trip-hop music like Ruby after the breakup. Whiny, spiteful, teary-eyed, and very alive.
Ruby – Salt Peter – Review March 1, 1996 Lesley Rankine’s back-of-the-throat purr/growl reminds one of Björk; while her swaying high-pitch feels like Portishead.
Heather Nova – Oyster – Review November 1, 1995 What sets Heather Nova apart from the pack are the harder, darker pieces, especially the ones driven primarily by percussion. On these, Nova really shines.
