"Regarding the weak tracks on here, I really can't find any as every note on this album takes me back to the first time I listened to it."



Fear the Sea though...

Yup. Her voice wasn't as trained as it is today but she had much more soul.

She's perfect on this one and Nighttime Birds. It seems like she constrained herself more and more as she was becoming more trained.

Well, as the music became lighter and more subdued, she found certain comfort zones. There are so many impressive moments on later albums, though, and she's always on point.

Agreed, she's always on point. But I miss her performances when she was going the extra mile even though she wasn't on point ;)

Heard this for the first time a few weeks ago and I can honestly say this is one of my favorite albums ever.



Anneke's voice is gorgeous and lively and the instrumentation creates such beautiful soundscapes. In Motion #1 is my favorite. The keyboard riff is to die for

Yeah, this album is quality but the rest of their discog is something else altogether. Nighttime Birds through Home is an unbelievable stretch of albums

Even more so considering the stylistic changes.

Indeed. This is the magic of the experimental side of the '90s.
