108 Dimensions Of Green grew on me with a second listen. The bookend tracks really elevate it, and I've bumped my rating to a light 3.5/5. My Echo is handily my favorite of these two, though. Consistently high-level songwriting and vocals with complementary instrumentals and a couple standout tracks. I prefer it to Carbon Glacier (heard recently in the canon game), and possibly also her collab with Neko Case and k.d. lang. Either way, it's getting a spot on my chart, a high 3.5/5, and my vote.

I enjoyed the Wa Wu We well enough during the play in, but Ms. Veirs is captivating. Both the music and the vocals are excellent, and their integration is even better. She's another great new find for me thanks to this game.

Neither of these were particularly appealing to me but the Laura Veirs album was at least interesting through and through. She gets my vote.

My Echo was a lovely little album, short and sweet.
108 Dimensions Of Green is another entry in the long catalogue of modern electronic music that sadly means nothing to me.
My Echo gets my vote.
