Wonderful Debut

"In a year filled with many great new records this debut by multi-instrumentalist singer songrwriter Tara Busch truly stands out. Vintage synths, strong melodies & lyrical content along with a knack for experimentation make for a listening experience that is quite special. Comparisons with "Kick Inside" era Kate Bush & Goldfrapp are not without merit but it's presented with such originality that the music exists on a level head and shoulders above the imitators.
"Pilfershire Lane" stands among the great debut records like "The Kick Inside", "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" & Art Bears "Hope & Fears".
Give this modern classic a listen and help it sell the way it deserves to!
Did I forget to mention that fantastic singing voice ? Well it is something very special as well.
Don't forget to give a listen to her version of "Let's Go To Bed" on the "Perfect As Cats" tribute to The Cure. It's also fantastic.

Fresh Content from a Tech Head

"If the artists Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Jean Michel Jarre, or Mike Oldfield appeal to you, then this is a must buy from a fresh, young tech head.
To be honest I've been following the valient vixen of tested technology for some time now and find her first solo release to be a fantastic fresh(wo)man effort!
Her self layered vocals remind one of Kate Bush's earliest and latest efforts; providing haunting harmonies that you'll find re-entering your mind at odd times.
The keyboard work on this album crosses from J.M. Jarre's synthetic imagery to T. Amos's poetry seamlessly.
Like M. Oldfield's and K. Bush's work, Tara takes control over all the details and the consistant high quality of her effort really bends your ears.
My only complaint after the first, fifth, and fiftieth listen is that she has but one album out now.
Tara! Compose! Now!
