Nice songs those. In My Tribe eh. I've got a long, booze-free weekend ahead of me, so I'll get hold it soon. She's got a great voice by the sound of it too. If I remember correctly, the context Bowie mentioned Motherland in was when he was talking about how his own Heathen, despite being recorded before that date, could be seen as a sort of gloomy, post-9/11 atmosphere commentary in places, like he said he thought Motherland was. Definitely got my curiosity going in any case.
