    I was rather surprised to find out her dad is Ravi Shankar.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    Yeah, pretty cool. Huge influence on the Beatles.

    I find both the musical and recording quality of her albums to be wildly inconsistent

    I agree. Hit or miss for sure.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    Do you mean from track to track or album to album?

    Disagree. Every CD I have sounds awsome. Maybe she doesn't sound good on PSBs :cheesygrin:

    Her last album is recorded very poorly in that there is 0 dynamic range. If you think it sounds awesome, probably should have your ears checked. It's on my worst list of audio recordings of all time. I like the material, mostly, but the recording is horrid.

    Is this her "New Wave" album? The cover is, to me, eerily reminiscent of Linda Ronstadt's foray (such as it was) into the New Wave... Mad Love

    Yeah, I suspect that he was, too, at the time...

    I agree... her last CD was horrible, no dynamics, the recording was so dead sounding. All her CDs were getting progressively worse.

    I think think the SQ of her first two CD's is quite good. Haven't heard her third, as the 2nd one sounded a little too much like the first. Thought she might be running out of musical ideas, so I didn't buy it.

    I knew her dad is Ravi Shankar, but who is her Mom?
