"Approximately Infinte Universe" is the album that confounds a lot of Yoko's sceptics - and I recommend it to anyone. There are a few shouty tracks, but there is also a fine ear for melody.

I saw her live at the RFH this year - the problem I felt was that she was overplaying the avant-garde aspect of her career because it's suddenly cool and excluding her more melodic, tender side - thus underselling herself.

Anyone who's ever heard "Open Your Soul To Me" or "I Want My Love To Rest Tonight" will know what I mean.

That's the one I heard -- Approximately Infinite Universe. I really thought it was a big disappointment, even if some of the lyrics were interesting. Just didn't strike me as musically interesting, although it might've been just that Elephant's Memory were the backing band...
