Kate Bush - The Sensual World

Janis Ian - Amsterdam

Sheila Chandra - Question the Answer

Loreena McKennitt - All Souls Night

Suzanne Vega - Cracking

Sheila Chandra - Village Girl

I couldn't seem to find the Sheila Chandra and Janis Ian tracks, but I listened to the rest and enjoyed it. Good list. I especially like the transitions between Breathing and The Sensual World and between All Souls Night and Cracking.

[Adena]

Taking on board your comments about the good transition between Cracking and All Souls Night, I removed the possibility of a disaster song in there. There are just as many things that could have derailed this woman's life, and some of the themes in All Souls Night suggest a disaster...

[Adena]

I finished the playlist at last, please tell me what you think!

Adena, thank you for your playlist. I especially liked the Suzanne Vega and Loreena McKennitt...
