Hmmm.  About "Carribean Blue" I might agree with this.  Over all, though,
I think _Shepherd Moons_ is a bit starker than the previous two albums.  
Maybe it's just my imagination.  There are fewer wall-o-sounds, though.

Right now my favorite track is "Carribean Blue," with "Afer Ventus" a
close second.  I was interested to notice that "afer ventus" is one of
the first "lines" of "Carribean Blue" (though you can't really understand
what she's saying).  

My current opininion is that _Shepherd Moons_ isn't quite as good as her
previous 2 albums--but that's not to say I don't love it.  

wrt your next posting, I don't know translations of any of her latin or
gaelic songs, but would love to read them (of course, I think I'd rather see
a translation of some of Black Francis' spanish lyrics...;-).

single)
