Ursula Burns was on the radio show on Monday night, talking up her new record and alluding to the long wait that has preceded it. She's been absorbed in life, essentially, while working on theatrical productions and many other interesting threads. But she says the music and the songs have been a constant, allowing her to chip out this project when resources have allowed.

We should be glad. Ursula has a unique voice and a most singular way of combining the harp, the voice, the piano and the guest appearances. 'Deep In The Dreaming' has been produced by Rod McVeigh, a long-standing cohort of Andy White and he has also done a good job. The songs are literally entrancing, circling around each other, not especially literal, making a case for the illogical world. She's been rhapsodising about the Floral Hall, name-checking Hildegard of Bingen and saying it loud for the fairy crowd. All good, then.
