Valerie, you have exquisite taste in music!  Suzanne Vega only has one
album out.  It is called "Suzanne Vega" and was released, I believe,
several months ago.  It is a complete masterpiece, and should even be
perfectly accessible to those who cannot stomach the weird exesses of
Kate Bush.  Her album is sort of somewhat avant-garde folk, I suppose,
and seems to have some Windom Hill influences (though Windom Hill is
often considered jazz -- I'm not sure why...) and a little tiny bit of
Laurie Anderson influence too, maybe?
