i had to see her live before i could really enjoy her records

Fair enough

I agree with everyneurotic, I love annoying voices!

She took inspiration from the opera , not the contrary of course.

ive also been into this band, death sentence: PANDA!. theyre on skin graft i believe.

o, and diamanda's 'the masque of the red death' trilogy is phenomenal.

as always, thanks for your recommendations.


xome is fantastic, too bad he doesn't records that much anymore.

Yeah, Need New Body are great but with a pretty sketchy recorded output. Live they are fantastic though.

Bathory

My favorite need new body song is that "meets, hits it off, hangs out, makes friends... and is never seen again." song.

Just bought two Matmos albums. Experimental electro and what not. Any fans?

yeah sure chance to cut is a chance to cure is awesome.

Havn't got that one, but its going on the list..

I've heard all their stuff besides the newest one that came out and it's definitely my favorite.

Mercyful Fate

Fimbulwinter

Everything I've been discovering lately is metal.

Sorry for being be the ever so annoying cunt again here, but Diamanda Galas DIDN'T just take inspiration from opera, she was classically trained as a pianist and a singer, the operatic style being one of them. To relegate all her records to a corner cluttered by the work of an opera singer obsessed with semi-satanic, end of the world themes seems to me that you haven't really listened to many of them to start with. The fact that you don't like what she does is fine and dandy, at least try to get a modicum of knowledge on the subject you're passing opinions on.

I only know one of her record actually ( I think it's Plague mass ).
Its all a capella.

Thank you for being more accurate than me about her!

Yet , if people had to know everything that a band has released to be able to talk about it , there would be very few discussion on music here , probably none about Sonic Youth.
