Sorry to see that Ikue-bashing is in vogue now. I've seen her live solo and with Kim Gordon and Jim O'Rourke and others. I'm always impressed with the range of sounds and noises she comes up with in the space of a song. Garden (on Tzadik) is my favorite of her albums. Anyone who's off-put that her work is too 'weird' might want to start with 'Painted Desert' (with Robert Quine and Marc Ribot) as a good intro to her work.

I doubt it. According to an interview she gave to the French magazine REVUE & CORRIGEE, PAINTED DESERT is a record whose control escaped her almost totally. Patrice.
Hate to chime in with a simplistic "Me, too," but Ikue is one of those artists that prove to me the right person can make music with just about any implement he or she chooses. I've never heard her fail to be sensitive, musical and just right for any setting in which I've heard her.
