Yeah, it's great. From her latest album, in 2005, Aerial... which, with a lot of people, is being heralded as her 2nd best behind Hounds of Love. The divergence of styles between the two is totally polarized... she makes the most of her lessened exuberance since old age.

Anyways, I still swear I posted in a thread super similar to this. Was it about arithmetic in music...?
