    Curiously compelling for something so minimal, it's like nothing else around. [Jul 2003, p.110]

    The most striking improvement is her singing. She's a stronger vocalist, her almost-plain tone rising into higher registers, and her usual range has grown more earthily gorgeous. But more than anything, she demonstrates a new expressiveness.

    Whatever spaces the arrangements leave enable the imagination to play as much of a role as the instrumentation.
