Most of it, at a good friend's.  Not at all bad, although Milla's reach exceeds her grasp more   
than a few times - she just tries too damn hard sometimes.  A forgivable excess in youth,   
n'est pas? 
 
Another interesting/amusing comparo:  Victoria Williams:  an Appalachian Kate Bush. 
 
Well...kinda...     
 
Victoria and Kate share an uncanny talent for orchestrating layered sounds, often without the   
slightest nod to musical convention, into a powerful new meld.  Both have absolutely no fear,   
vocally or with the instrumentation used in their compositions.  Sure, Victoria lacks Kate's   
awesome vocal chops, and she doesn't (yet) produce her own tracks.  But the link is valid.
