.........that you played one of Stina's albums all the way through?

erm.......ah.......um........er

About two days ago I played MOAC for the first time in a while.What an amazing debut with at least five exceptional songs-Another Story Girl/His Song/Alone at Night/Soon After Xmas and A Walk in the Park-each of which had me rooted to the spot muttering 'amazing','brilliant' etc-which I haven't done since the last time I listened to it.Stina's arrangements on that album are beautiful-would that she did more.

And about a week ago I played 'Dynamite' all through.That is one of the great albums of all time,nuff said.The darkness and depth it plumbs,the incredible atmosphere,the amazing lyrics,the extraordinary orchestrations of Jonas Nystrom,-I could go on and on.And what a contrast to ASCHE,which is another of the all-time great albums,but completely different...

Yesterday I played Dynamite at work and two days ago I listened to ASCE at home. Last week I listened to TWIS; so yea, I still listen to them all the way through, but I expect to be listening more in autumn which is always a great time for listening to her albums.
