I'm listening to Surfacing at the moment, and every track turns the sofa into a massage chair. This album also has a very subtle (and unusual, these days) upright bass played with a bow on most tracks. It's a good test of your system's resolution to see if you can follow the bass line continuously through the track. The lap steel is cool too on the Witness track. Very nicely done pop music. Are there any other artists so into bass? Reactions: tattoo_Dan

Yes, most of her albums have excellent sound. Solace and Fumbling Towards Extacy are my favorites. The current album isn't so hot though. Fiona Apple's albums also all tend to have good bass and good recordings. Reactions: djreef and GO-NAD!

I've only got a humble CT-100 Velo but can appreciate the bass on that song. I love her voice as well, IMO it has an ethereal quality to it.
