I got both this and the Metropolis Suite 1 album, and am waiting until I can spend some time with it.

“Tightrope” is a world-class single that ranks up there with “Hey-Ya,” “Crazy,” and “Multiply” in the pantheon of recent tracks that definitively claim a certain time as its own. I just hope everyone else catches on to it.

At the same time, I hope that she never loses her slightly geeky pretention and finishes this ambitious project.

BTW, the restored cut of “Metropolis” is showing at this year’s deadCENTER Film Festival. I’m considering bringing my headphones and iPod to see if there’s a “Dark Side of the Rainbow” thing going on there.

Great review! The album is truly phenomenal. The most ambitious work from a Female since forever! The album gets 100% from me even though i don’t like Make the Bus.
