December 2, 200718 yr comment_74469 and even A Flock of Seagulls (love the guitarist) Ah, I will second that one. Have always been a fan. Report
December 2, 200718 yr comment_74473 are there really people who don't like either of those? hell, now here is nowhere is one of my reference discs! I never hear anyone talk about them, even on HF, so I assumed I was a minority... Speaking of now here is nowhere, what is your impression of the recording quality? I think it is very good, devoid of much of the compression plaguing most modern recordings, yet i do detect a bit of clipping. Report
December 2, 200718 yr comment_74502 She is an acquired taste (and in the interest of full disclosure, one I have not fully acquired yet). Curve are great. Report
December 2, 200718 yr comment_74521 Diamanda Galas. Freaky and amazing. My friends run away. she's great. apparently a guy that works at a record store here was drunk after a concert of hers and said he loved her -- she tongue kissed him; he lived to tell the tale. Report
December 2, 200718 yr comment_74528 She's extremely nice in person, and not the persona she puts out there. Still, a little scary. She goes for it. I like it. Stunning vocals. She can split her voice. Report
December 2, 200718 yr comment_74547 Whoa, she's something isn't she..... definitely an acquired taste... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMWR1SesqM0 Report
December 2, 200718 yr comment_74636 I've seen her live three times. That changes thing.Yeah, I imagine it would -- she strikes me as the sort of musician that one "gets", live. Report

December 3, 200718 yr comment_74952 at least on this album, she kind of scratches the same itch that Tom Waits scratches. I certainly never would have come up with this association on my own, but it makes sense. Both are very soulful in atypical ways. I forgot to mention that she is a pretty impressive all-around musician as well as singer. Report
December 31, 200718 yr Author comment_82614 A Diamanda Galas rendition of "I put a spell on you" was mixed into the version of "sex is violent" on the natural born killers soundtrack - very cool (and well done, imho), if you are in to that sort of thing. I think I like that soundtrack more than the movie, actually. ------------------------- More bands people just don't get: The Supersuckers Man... or Astro-Man? Report
December 31, 200718 yr comment_82653 Glenn Branca is a big one for me. I can't play him at all at work with out eliciting a few sighs. Report
January 3, 200818 yr comment_83641 I like Dead Can Dance. "Sanvean" from the album Wake is one of my favorites. But I also like a lot of other stuff, such as Rihanna's Umbrella song. Report
