- Buy it from Amazon.deIf you planning on buying Another Day and Playing my game from Amazon, I suggest you get it from Amazon Germany (i.e. www.amazon.de). I just paid only Euro 14.00 for both of these albums. It is available as a double album from Amazon Germany. Great Deal. It would be a total of $39 USD including standard shipping.

- The Sweetest, most Beautiful voice ever!I just finished listening to this cd and its like, wow! After the awesome Sitting Down Here was released as a single, I had been dying to hear more of Lene's music. Thankfully, Virgin have granted her debut album a release here, in Britain. You know how most albums, after your initial listen, there are always one or two tracks you skip, or are not that fond of, well this is the first album since, probably Counting Crows' August and Everything After that I have loved all the way through. Lene's voice is sooo darn sweet and her lyrics just melt your heart. Most of the songs are kinda sad, about rejection or love gone bad or, in one case the death of a loved one. You just cant help but feel for the lovely singer. My fave tracks, after Sitting Down Here, of course, are Unforgivable Sinner, a slightly more rockier song, the title track, Flown Away, which is the kind of song that makes you wanna hug Ms Marlin, like to assure her that everything's gonna be okay and then there's A Place Nearby, listen to the lyrics, between Lene's voice and the piano, only the most cynical person wont be moved.

- Attractive 19 yr old Norwegian with angelic voice. A must .The 1st single "Unforgivable Sinner" reached the #1 position on the Norway music charts in March 1999 and she broke all Norway sales records for a single release by a debut artist. As of late 10/99 she has sold approximately 600,000 copies of this CD. She plays the guitar and sings with this soft feminine voice. Her songs have straight forward, down to earth lyrics. She just won all 4 catagories she was nominated in at the 9/99 Norway music awards. Most of her European success has been in Italy. She is definitely one artist who should be released in the U.S.A. The United states music industry seems more interested in creating an atmosphere instead of good music, but this singer offers both. I cant believe a U.S. record label hasn't jumped on this opportunity yet. I play this soothing CD at the beach and am constantly asked "Who is that?"

- You have to get it!Some slow songs but some upbeat music. I'm surprised that this album is not more popular. It's constant beautiful music coming out one note after the other. Her voice is unique and beautiful and I'm sorry that not many people in the U.S. and other places have not been able to hear it. It's one of my favorite albums ever and I'm sure that you'll love it.

- What a beautiful cdI first heard this cd when I was living in Italy. I immediately went out and bought it. What beautiful music Lene makes. The lyrics hit so close to home. Her voice is amazing and she has excellent guitar skills. Its really too bad this was never released in the US, but then again I get the feeling that Lene is above the typical American pop star. I don't think she would want to sell out to the media like that. European music is just amazing. I wish I still lived there for the music alone. Her sound is a cross between Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, & Dido. She has a very pretty, feminine voice and the lyrics are very real. I have much respect for Lene, and look forward to any future music she might make.
