簡介。。。。。。
Collaborating with My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm O'Ciosoig, Hope Sandoval's first solo effort is not a radical departure from the Mazzy Star sound, filled as it is with dark, romantic lullabies; but where Mazzy Star have always had an element of psychedelia to their sound, At the Doorway Again abandons that style for sparse, lighter arrangements. "Around My Smile," the lead track here, features Sandoval at her most sexy, sounding a bit like Julee Cruise with chord changes and heavy guitar echo reminiscent of 1950s ballads. Only some light guitar feedback hints at Sandoval and O'Ciosoig's previous experimental leanings. Far away from the heavy or morose sounds of their previous bands, on the instrumental "Sparkly," Sandoval whispers, warbles, and croons through beautiful acoustic guitars, light vibes, and strings, while on "Down the Steps" she sings breathlessly over a simple piano progression. A fine start for both Sandoval and O'Ciosoig, who before this release had not been heard from in four and nine years respectively. - Geoff Orens, All Music Guide

簡介。。。。。。
Hope Sandoval (born 1966) is an American singer-songwriter who was lead singer for Mazzy Star and later Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions.
Hope formed The Warm Inventions and released their first (and thus far only album) called "Bavarian Fruit Bread", in 2001. This album sounds, again, little different in terms of theme, voice, and instrumentation than that of her work with Mazzy Star. However, with a larger band behind her, and more time under her creative belt, Hope's voice has matured on these songs.

Subsequently, The Warm Inventions released three EP's but received very little commercial success, no video on MTV, and very little radio play. Nonetheless, the band's efforts were appreciated by her solid fan base.

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。評價指數:8.2/10
Hope Sandoval的迷幻,美妙的嗓音,縂讓我感覺自己在做夢,我願意沉浸在這夢中永遠不要醒來。

Suzanne is waiting at your doorway
But all she does is waste your time
And she looks just like my sister
But she feels just like my man

And all the times I mean to tell her
The cats in here are over-flowin'
She pulls aside a four leaf clover
And makes me feel right on my own
