From The Pit

...for Tom - @ItsTomHimself - he's got his own radio show and everything. He's cool. Check him out. :)

140 characters isn't really enough to give a decent response, imo, so I thought I'd type it out here, for all to see. Just what comes to mind initially. I'll probably disagree with myself when I look back on this on another day.

I'd start with Opheliac (2006) first because her next album Fight Like A Girl is a continuation of sorts and promises to be "a bit more violent... bloodier [and]...a little more metal". Enchant (2002) is lighter and pretty much the opposite of that. Whatever people feel about Enchant or Opheliac, F.L.A.G sounds like it's gonna be amazing.

These aren't a "Top 10" as such but I guess they'd be the 10 that I'd probably suggest to anyone asking for a recommendations.

From the instrumental album Laced/Unlaced (2007):

• Unlaced
• Manic Depression

From Opheliac (2006):

• Opheliac
• I Want My Innocence Back
• Misery Loves Company
• God Help Me
• Let the Record Show

From Enchant (2002), which I love, if I had to pick:

• Heard It All
• Second Hand Faith
• Chambermaid

I would also check out the remixes of Dead Is The New Alive (from Opheliac) on the Liar/Dead Is The New Alive EP.

Does anyone find that making specific recommendations can turn out to be rather difficult? Depends on what someone is in the mood for I guess. I find that Enchant is good for relaxing to. Opheliac is part mellow, part "fighting music" (like "fighting talk" but with music) - the latter being good if I need to muster motivation for something so it's great for working to. And then there's her classical music...
