iampaperbag I think both types of music are worth listening to. I personally think classical music has more long-term potential for the obvious reasons.

The book that is often at my bedside is Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien. If I have difficulty sleeping, I would read the chapter, "The Ride of the Rohirrim" or "Field of Cormallen". Those are my favorite chapters. I also read...

Why do you love imogen heap?

taligurl @taligurl (6) • United States 26 Feb 07

When I forst heard imogen's music, I fell in love instantly! She sends me away, sailing on a magic carpet. The world becomes a different place. How does Ms. Heap make you feel when you listen to her computer voice?

imogen heap and her music

iampaperbag It's her songwriting that does the trick. Plus, she's got a gift for melody and vocalizations. When you listen to her, you feel like you've known her for some time already but somehow it feels so deliciously fresh.

iampaperbag I love her music, too. I think she's one of the few artists today who has gladly fused her musical influences and took the a few steps further. Her voice is delicately sublime and her melodies are achingly beautiful. I'm so excited for her next album.
