I'm going to Glasgow tomorrow so will have a look for this. I just recently got into her music so hope some shop has it. If not I'll buy online.

Bought a used CD copy to hear this properly. Not my usual listening fare but it is well recorded and brilliantly arranged and sung. All very good and outstanding in places. Gave it 8/10.

Well I think this is a fantastic album and it was the first k.d. lang album I bought, thanks to MartinI now have 7 and was lucky enough to see her live last year too, which was amongst my top gigs of the year and I shall defiantly see her again if I get the chance.
This together with Ingιnue and Hymns of the 48th Parallel are my favourite k.d. albums.
So thanks a bunch Martin and it gets an 8/10 from me too, I would give it 8.5 if I could, but it just misses a 9

I love it, but would NEVER have bought something like this until I joined AOS, so thank you.
I like the style and her vocals are amazing. Sounds excellent, even on my modest system.
8/10 for this one.
Got my cd from amazon marketplace for £1.75 delivered.
My only criticism is the album cover - scary stuff.
Looking forward to discovering more new music
Cheers, Martin

Martin,
thank you very much for this suggestion! I really was not aware what a brilliant singer K. D. Lang is. Unfortunately I could not find “Drag” anymore, but now “Recollection” (a kind of “Best of”), “Watershed” and “Sing it loud” are frequently played parts of my music library.
For me this thread often has been a valuable source for discovering new music.
Kind regards,
Werner.
