the Blue Aeroplanes, Spacemen 3.

title track, "I love your gravity" and "feelin' kinda sporty".

record where Moore really came to the fore in wanting to bust out of the role
she had been filling in a band situation.

sparsely populated) and releasing an album every year.

instrumentation on these tracks was played by the increasingly studio savvy,

tomorrow goodbye" (Cockaigne , 2000) The second Dave Graney Show cd. Released in the UK and Europe by Cooking Vinyl. Produced by Moore

Absolutely phenomenal talent. Highly creative, productive and enduring.
An Avant-garde musician who has been moving with the times over the past 4 decades.
