whose the "barbara" mentioned on the EP. if my memory serves, it said she
wrote the track? maybe one of the artists who Zazou pulled in to work on
the project? for some reason i think it said she wrote/sung/etc the
original track... if she did have as strong as an influence on the track
as i thought, it would interesting to see what other things she has had her
hands in...

interesting to hear about concept based albums. where would these fit into
our human required music genre definitions? jazzy styling or more
atmospheric (for an odd reason cold seas brings feelings of calm music)..
hmm.. once again my curiousity is sparked.. :)
