I got it, right here in my grubby little hands...I'm on "Wrong Century" and
loving every minute so far.  The instrumentation is kind of Laurie Anderson
meets Suzanne Vega circa "99.9F"; the vocals are remarkable--her high end
sounds very early Kate, and her low end is something else entirely...it's
like two different voices.

I'm obviously not ready for a review.  Try me tomorrow, when I'll be
listening to this for the zillionth time with a big smile on my face!

P.S.  I *like* the nakedness of Tori's songs...just as I like the artful
veils of Kate, and the dark sparseness of Happy's Druid music.  And Sarah's
folky classicism.  They're all wonderful...sigh...sorry.  :)
