I have her Ultra Blue album. I think it's just okay. I can tell that it is a very sequencer based album. I heard she uses a Korg Tritan as well as some other sound generators to create her music. I find it very interesting that she supposedly composes her own music. I wonder if she doesn't do some of the recording herself, since her music seems mostly sequencer based. I image she uses a lot of samples for her sounds as well... so I don't think that she has to do a lot of recording with live sound (ie. with microphones) other than her vocals.
Of course my opinions and thoughts are all based solely off the Ultra Blue album. I found that album to be a bit unique in that a lot of it had an almost danceable rhythm, although the harmonies and melodies were decidedly dark. While I can dig the uniqueness of that idea, it's not really my kind of music. Her vocal harmonies over some of the more colorful chords are quite nice though.
