Okay, i though andy only produced about half of the tracks. All i have is
her first (non-japan) album, "Trailer Park".
If you've heard the Chembros releases, you know her voice (IMHO, the
redeeming characteristic of both discs, nothing else even comes close).
Great singer, pretty good lyrics.  Mostly acoustic-folk with a slight
Weatherall/Sabres ambience. Very nice, if you're into the
vocal-guitar-music stuff. The last track (galaxy of emptiness?) is more
Weatherall, a slow, quiet, dubby thing with her singing all through it.
I find her stuff to be a nice meeting ground where "regular music" and
"IDMish music" people can both enjoy, though it's definitely more regular.
I've been meaning to pick up central reservation...(the newest)
