glowingember Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) What I like about Bainbridge and Frente's voice is their crystal clear voices. Their covers bring a sad tone to the songs: Being Boring and Bizarre love triangle Bjork - I like Virus more than Crystalline. I still yearn for the earlier Bjork like Violently Happy and Big Time Sensuality.

glowingember Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) My favorite hip-hop artist is still Kanye West. His second album impressed me, and I digged back to his past works and has since followed his career. Also, the way he re-appropriated songs from Chaka Khan, Shirley Bassey, and Daft Punk into his own works, imo, beat the originals.Kanye West is one rare case of mainstream rap acts who are willing to experiment with stylistic diversity. He got a big ego, but he can back it up.When I first heard of Kanye West, it was more of his behaviour than his music...but slowly upon listening, I find myself enjoying his creations...especially the little magic when he is featured in other singers' songs.Of all his songs, this one I like the most.

Avecinfuser Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Dont really like Bjork but I find a band she was previously part of quite tolerable. Before she became cuckoo.Actually the band Sugarcubes was not really her finer moments. I only have that one album Stick Around For Joy which produced their one and only hit. I didn't even like it that much. Luckily they disbanded after that last album, subsequently released a remixed and greatest hits album, then Bjork went solo to a blossoming career. But her sound is always evolving, from jazz to dance to experimental electronica. I do appreciate her range in styles and songs. I mean I still enjoy earlier songs like Venus As A Boy, Violently Happy to quirky ones like It's Oh So Quiet, to haunting ones like All Is Full Of Love, to trippy ones like Possibly Maybe, to bass-thumping ones like Army Of Me. Her Debut album is still an all-time classic in my books and her output of materials have been consistently good if not better. Granted her newer stuffs are beginning to stagnate and sound collectively similar (boring), but her Post and Homogenic albums still proved that she was still capable of moments of brilliance. Still remember how good Human Behaviour and Big Time Sensuality were?? How can anyone deny her genius??

derryfawne Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I cannot believe that Fiona Apple had not been discussed! She's basically a baroque-pop version of Tori Amos with dictionary-heav vocabularies and low low voice.Never is a Promise is playing non-stop on my computer in the past couple of days. Beautiful, beautiful... My most favorite from her is Paper Bag, which I believe is about anorexic behavior. Quote “Do not take life too seriously.

derryfawne Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Anyone into Ween?They don't stick to one particular genre. They are eclectic, but one thing that remains the same is that they are a duo of humorous post-modernists who offer their take on deconstructing various music genres. And they have way too much catchy melodies to make their music more memorable than an average Zappa/Beefheart-styled deconstructivist tune.

Dunno which one it was though cos I dont listen to Ms K.I have loved this singer, Happy Rhodes for along time. She's seriously underrated.Too bad this song doesn't have an accompanying video. Quite Kate Bush-esque, circa, Hounds of Love. Ms Rhodes covering Ms Bush's And Dream of Sheep from the Hounds of LOve album. Brilliant cover.

derryfawne Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I see contribution from new people. Keep 'em coming, people. I'm aware of Happy Rhodes too. Beautiful singing and reminds me a lot of Tori Amos whenever I hear her; speaking of which, expect Tori Amos to release a new album next month. Titled Night of Hunters, this is her first album to stray from her usual piano-driven alternative music towards classical territory. This, of course, means more emphasis on her and her piano and some strings; sort of a return to the Little Earthquakes vibe. I don't think Carry is as good as any given song from Little Earthquakes though. The sheer raw naked power of honesty and emotion in Little Earthquakes is way too strong to ever be replicated again.

PaterTenebrarum Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I used to really like Tori. Followed her almost religiously but her last album that I bought was the Beekeeper. After that, (this is a personal opinion so Tori-philes may get hissy...) she kinda became less interesting.Her new albums kinda lost the lush melodies that came with songs like Spark, Glory of the 80s, 1,000 oceans, etc. Hope her new one is good.With that, here's one of my fave Tori tunes.

That being said, she still come up with really good songs on every album (Pancake, Martha's Foolish Ginger, Body And Soul, Flavor); it's just that the subsequent albums are lacking in consistency. It doesn't help much that she feels the urge to release 18+ songs on each album; when some of the songs would have been better off as B-sides.Just a personal opinion.

I love it.I love Beekeeper and Abnormally Attracted too.Midwinter Graces and Strange Little Girls are the only two Tori albums that I'm too lazy to put on.I think Kate and Tori functions differently. They are both freaky, smart girls with piano, and Tori's upper head register brings Kate to mind; but that's where the comparison ends.Kate is a storyteller, be it of mythical folklores or sociopolitical issues. With Tori, it's always as if we're taking a peek into her personal diary. Kate's creativity never ceases to amaze me, but Tori's power hits me right on the heart.
