Kite is an amazing album. But nearly as good is Tropical Brainstorm. So sad she's gone.

I'm too busy playing Tropical Brainstorm to give Kite a chance. Methinks it's time I listen to it again for the first time. <br><br>Ted...I'm speechless.

Not the easiest voice with which to harmonize, but hell, if she can do a duet with Shane MacGowan, she could do anything.
