Subject: Innocence Mission Newsgroups: rec.music.gaffa Organization: Microsoft Corp., Redmond WA I'd like to add my agreement to the people who have said that Innocence Mission sound a _lot_ like Kate. More specifically, the lead singer (Karen Peris, I think) has a voice that sounds exactly what I would imagine Kate would sound like if she had Natalie Merchant's (of 10000 Maniacs) accent. I'd compare the music first to 10000 Maniacs (on the two previous albums, in case they're different from the current one). I was too busy to pay close attention to the lyrics so I can't describe them much. I don't think it's up to the overall talent of Kate (what is?), but it's certainly pleasant music, and the similarity of that voice is _incredible_. I think if you distorted it to hide the difference in accent, you could fool someone into thinking it was Kate. -- Steve Schonberger microsoft!stevesc@uunet.uu.net "Who built the Space Needle?
