...treasures. Last week, when I dropped in, Diane was going about her merry way dusting feathers and listening to the faintest, scantest little French fairy-voice. I live for moments like that: walking into a room and being hit in the heart by a most unexpected, most dreamed-of sound. That was the beginning of my controlled adoration of Suzi Lee, Slide bandmember, who has just released her solo and French album, Blue. In this naked cluster of songs she wrote "for myself, to myself, from heart to soothe my soul," every number is aching and wistful and runs...
...Gorky's sound will feel familiar to those versed in the acoustic folk-inspired pop ballads of the late '60s and early '70s, with only a slight instrumental and tonal twist betraying the band's Welsh origin. A few of the band's songs have a classical folk ballad for flavor, while others exploit dissonance or vaguely new-age rhythms to add variety to what otherwise could be a monotonously mellow album...

...audiences in America degrades the brilliance of what is, on its own, a wonderful film, and interferes with the creation of a captivating fantasy. Several of the vocal performances are wonderful, such as Billy Crudup as Ashitaka and Gillian Anderson as Moro the Wolf Goddess. Crudup is entirely believable, sounding in turn appropriately brave, vulnerable, and kind. Gillian Anderson's voice is altered here, designed to sound more godlike (the effect succeeds). Her growling tones are menacing and eerie, and her Moro is as intelligently complex as many of the human characters. Others, however, are slightly weird--particularly Minnie Driver...
