I like Brandi Ifgray's vocals, but then, I'm a fan of the school of "dry,
hollow, emotionless" vocals of Lou Reed/Iggy Pop/David Bowie. Mr. Ifgray
has probably taken some influences from these people; he's better known
here in Finland from his band Shadowplay which music has been kind of new
wave/indie with jazz influences. I think "Le Mutant" can be described a kind
of combination of Shadowplay's music with Jimi Tenor cheapie electronic
backgrounds, which is very cool as far as I'm concerned. My own favourite
track is 'Music At Night', which is a kind of jazzy, light, Lou Reed-esque
affair.
np: Max Romeo - Chase The Devil ("I'm going to send him to outer space /
to find another race")
before that: Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (the remastered mono
edition of my all-time favourite album...)
