hm,

i may be treading on thin ice, since i recall you used to play w/ ms. a. & 
you
probably have pretty strong opinions about her stuff, but think just the 
opposite re
tightrope/bright red and strange angels...t/br sits collecting dust, while 
i do
manage to put strange angels on every once in a while. i think its got 
several gems
on it- i never felt like it was a clumsy attempt at reaching a wider 
audience- it
for once seemed to contain a little soul compared to most of her other 
stuff...
