Wow Wow Wow!

Each of the tracks is delectable, distinct, and multi-faceted, reminding me of nothing more than a gourmet dish from Chef David Bouley with a perfect wine pairing.
The sound production is superb; a beautiful balance between slick and raw. The Bowie comparison is very accurate, some of the cuts are reminiscent of his 1992 album "Earthling".
As a composer, St. Eve is terrific, choosing very tasty chord progressions throughout. I actually hate most albums I hear, and so was shocked to find myself wanting to listen to her albums over again. My current favorites on this album are "Spring Cleaning" and "One Day".
As a lyricist, she is insightful and humorous, personal and profound. Her vocal performances are superlative, and the range of timbres is astounding. In some pieces she sounds like a seasoned cabaret singer such as Ute Lemper, in others there are flavors of Kate Bush and Grace Slick. In all cases her interpretive choices are strong and effective.
I recommend her "Demonstration" album just as highly.

If you can get through this whole disc without having secret thoughts of unspeakable ecstacies, then you're a better man (or woman) than I...
