sometimes, we hear a song so often
that we forget that it's actually a very, very strange record.

examples:

"when doves cry" stormed the radio without a bass line.

"crazy" is so out there, that the first time i saw the
video i thought to myself, "what a great record. too bad
it's too bizare to ever blow up..." man, was a i wrong,
that song is a monster.



so add on.


btw, does anybody else think that anita baker's "rapture"
album as very unusual production sensabilities?
the entire album has a jazzy vibe to it that you wouldn't think
would make it on the radio.

but not jazzy in a boring, kenny g sort of way...
it's a dynamic album. but nothing else really
sounds like that.

i mean, if somebody said "hey, i like this anita baker album.
can you recoomend similar stuff?" then i would be at a loss...
because nothing else really sounds like "rapture."

not even her later material... which got TOO laid back.



anyway... add on.
