But for good bracing surprise, with her usual excellent vocals, this music is worth grabbing, if you can find it. (jzitt@humansystems.com) Recommended first album:"THIS SENTENCE IS TRUE" (The Previous Sentence is False) Recordings:
EEP1Release info:1999—Indipop—EEPCD1 Availability:Limited edition cd; available at Amazon.com and some stores Ecto priority:Recommended for fans of Sheila Chandra and/or ambient music Group members:Sheila Chandra—vocals Produced by:Steve Coe Comments:It's about half an hour long, six tracks of her voice over various noisetronica. (jzitt@humansystems.com) "THIS SENTENCE IS TRUE" (The Previous Sentence is False)Release info:2001—Shakti—72438-50954-2-9 Availability:Wide Ecto priority:Highly recommended Group members:Sheila Chandra—all vocals, drones, and vocal fx Guest artists:Nick Pullin—all guitars Produced by:Steve Coe and Sheila Chandra Comments:Like EEP1, "THIS SENTENCE IS TRUE" (The Previous Sentence is False) is more experimental than even Sheila Chandra's ABoneCroneDrone. This is labeled "a daring vocal experiment layered with ambient instrumentation and percussion", which describes it perfectly. (Neile) Thanks to JoAnn Whetsell for her work on this entry.
