hey..

i think someone asked about the Kirsty Hawkshaw
album "O<U>T", and I know I've mentioned this
before, but it's really one of my all-time favourite
albums. Anywhere. Produced and co-written by
Mark Pritchard (who's got a long-term deal with
Island Blue just like Tom Middleton now, I think
that was mentioned somewhere..), it's evocative,
beautiful, and listenable infinitely.Came out in 1998
on Coalition.

Anyone know how many videos came off the album,
btw? I saw a video for "Sci-Clone" at some point
that was really rather cool. There's also great photos on the
album by the relatively famous Jill Furmanovsky -
I think they were taken at famous Cornish beauty
spot the Lost Gardens of Heligan, looking at the
credits.

I also have the two Opus III albums (there were only
two, right?) hanging around somewhere - these are
interesting, but I wouldn't precisely call them essential.
Some great moments, though.

Another unmissable Kirsty Hawkshaw moment is off
the Orbital-organised tribute "The Girl With The Sun
In Her Head", double CD thingie. I only have it on promo
so I don't have a lot of info, but her track is credited
to Kirsty (Opus III), and I think it's called "Orange".

Apart from that Universal Language 12-inch someone
mentioned, anyone got a fuller discography?

ps - talking of beautiful female-fronted electronica, try
http://www.aisth.com - and download "Box". A Finnish
duo with links to the underground demo-scene, unbelievably,
these guys are still unsigned. I'd do it myself if I thought I
could do them justice. Great art/photos on the site, too.
