Naosha Records, 1996

Song Of The Siren. (Musical Discoveries" Review/August 1998) While Glass Hammer artists Fred Schendel and Steve Babb (DeArqe) co-produce and assist in production respectively as well as perform on the album, this is clearly Michelle"s work with an array of styles that surpass the vast majority of female vocal albums in the marketplace today. Here you will find soft ballads, jazz numbers, progressive instrumentals, and typically-Kate Bush sensual female vocal tracks. The strong similarity of Michelle"s voice to Kate"s is amazing, but Michelle"s music works everso much better.

Michelle has written all of the tracks with the exception of one co-written with Fred Schendel and in addition to the absolutely stunning lead vocals, she contributes keyboard, guitar, bass, bamboo flute, silver flute, chimes, and the ocarina and double barrel ceramic flipple. Most likely they are all featured in the new age-sounding ambient track entitled "Bamboo You! (Smackin" the Crickets and Making the Bird Like Me)". There is wide range of other instrumentation—with lots of keyboard—that with the multitracked vocals gives the album an incredible lushness most remarkably heard in the title track.
