Wow.
I have all her Light in the Attic CDs, they’re great.
And her documentary cued up on Netflix (or is it Amazon?)

Holy good night! I have to confess I'd never really heard any of her music before--and then I listened to Jesse Thorn's 2007(?) interview with her, which is laced with samples. Talk about mind-blowing. Why were there no quads?

I forget--have there ever been rumors about unreleased quad mixes for any of those early albums?

Not that I'm aware of anyway, but if a good Atmos mix was done, it wouldn't hurt my feelings

Ive read about and heard of her for years watched the doc on her streaming somewhere. I do like what Ive heard but would be satsified with a CD collection if such exists......
