	I have a similar problem with this album. I like the first song,
kinda sounds like Laurie Anderson's voice, but after awhile I just
forget there is even a record playing.
	My wife, who LOVES Joni Mitchell, bought this album because of the
writeups that said Vega is the new Mitchell. Her reaction --- where's
her voice, cause Vega just kinda speaks the words instead of singing
(maybe not all the songs, I can't remember).
