Doubt there are any Fiona fans here but you never know. Anyway, her last album Extraordinary Machine has just gone top 10 in the States..
This release is nearly 6 years after the acclaimed 'When the Pawn' and this is due to varous problems with the record company, the producer and Fiona herself.
I've just bought it and need to hear it more to give a full review. One thing I do know - it's great to have such an original and fascinating woman back!

Only just found the time to listen to it - on "Better Version Of Me" at the moment. Sounds ok so far although I think it'll take a few listens before I could say I love it.

I swear the little blighter has a life of his own! Good album - not great. Not as intense as 'When the Pawn'... Best songs: Extraordinary Machine, Tymps, Oh Well, Waltz

Looks like it sold less than a 1000 to miss the top 200 albums this week

Oh, I'm not surprised. It's hardly been promo mad all week and she's never been that successful has she?
Shame though.

I think she's great. Her new album is good, but i prefer "when the pawn..." Do you have any sales information about her past albums worldwide?

im saddened she's not selling more. this cd is AMAZING. it took me a few listens to like it more than the original leaked version. but it's a shame she's going unappreciated. her gift should be spread with everyone. the cd got some promo the first week, but the record company was just letting word spread by word of mouth. and that sucks. hopefully with this tour and grammy nomination more people will become interested in the brilliance of fiona.

Welcome to the board, wh0adanny. Great to see more Fiona appreciation. Easily my CD of the year.
