I think she has only done two, but I'm not sure. I really
like her stuff. Probably my favourite female braindance
artist.

Shame she left Rephlex for XL after the succss of "Like
Weather". I really regret not buying that album on 12" when
I had the chance.

this leila is a complete mystery to me. i think i should
check her out, but i decided not to pirate anymore so
virtually no chance.

neetta... whenever I see your name here I think of leila.

I really think her music is made for you

dont ask me why, it is just an intuition

*gasps* it's not really piracy if you're just doing it as a
way to trial it and delete it if you don't buy it though...

I'm sure she'd rather you DLed it and then either deleted it
or decided you liked it and bought it than not buy it at
all...

i found a cool review:
What makes the album unusual is the ad hoc production style
Leila uses, which seems to be focused around simplicity,
casual "what-the-fuckedness," and fun. Leila's traditional
bass lines are something to hear: they function both
rhythmically and melodically to anchor the songs in the
low-end regions, while the vocals (all provided by friends
of Leila's) push the song higher and higher. The result are
very intricate songs that seem to be spiraling in opposite
directions, high and low, until they just stop or they meld
with the next track. Great, weird stuff. I love it.

sounds so cool!

its good... I like both albums but I think like weather (her
first) was the one that really amazed the music world

I'd say her music is sort of IDM/RnB/Loungish stonerish in a
Morcheeba kind of way/traditional music hybrid.

Good use of three different vocalists (usually only one per
song) helps give it a bit of diversity.
