A Heidi Berry thread

nothing new or unreleased on Pomegranate, Scott. the only real rarity on that anthology is the A-side of the Lost Girls 7". it should have included at least one mix of "Signs of Life," the one-off trip-hop track she recorded with the Ronnie & Clyde guys (as Aeroplane) for Detox.

taken me years to really appreciate these albums.

Wow, I didn't realize they released the Lost Girls album (plus a second disc of demos!) in 2014. Anyone heard it?

i feel bad that the lost girls stuff i've heard on youtube doesn't really thrill me. like, i don't think i would listen to it much if i had the CDs. i've always dug the KoD guy too. one song i heard really reminded me of hearing natalie merchant singing behind some 90's gazepop song. i don't think their voices really meshed well at all. there are solo heidi vocal tracks but they didn't sound exciting either. and i'm a fan!

i really feel like she needs sympathetic production for her voice. and that stuff didn't have it.

i didn't even know about that stuff until recently.

i haven't heard the whole thing though. there could be gems on there.

if it had all sounded like this i might have dug it...still sounds demo-y though. or maybe like an early adventurous sarah mclachlan b-side...
