I’ll get there one day. There is definitely a similarity between Bonjo I's voice and Mr Perry's. Not identical but there's definitely a similarity, so much so on one track was listening to just now I had to check the credits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted August 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2021 I've always loved this album since it was originally released, I had a dodgy downloaded CD of it which had disappeared some time ago. This is a 2019 repress of the album (Army Green Vinyl) which I ordered and picked up today Anika - Anika Anika is a half German half English singer-songwriter, journalist, musician and poet and her voice is very Nicoesque This, her first album, released in 2010, is very much in the style of German electronic experimental music of the '70s. There are only 2 original compositions on this, the rest are covers. The dub version of Dylan's Masters of War is a personal favourite Produced by Beak> and released on Geoff Barrow's (Of Beak> & Portishead) Invada label. Beak> also produced this album and played the instruments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2021 And to follow that... The follow up album, 11 years later. Anika - Change Much less angular and a more polished production. Same sort of territory but also very different. I think these are all her own work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2021 Another of todays purchases, in catch up mode from earlier in the year. Look at me the bloody obscurist posting an album that topped the charts in February of this year Mogwai - As the Love Continues It will be in the list at the end of the year, undoubtedly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would people stop listening to sounds they previously liked if they suddenly found out the singer was “good with colours”, or “wore comfortable shoes”, or whatever?

They are pretty popular in that genre. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there is a solid venn diagram that has judas priest fans on one side and fans of wrestling on the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demolition come to mind. They were all kitted out in leather and studs . I wouldn’t even say I’m a big Judas Priest fan, I just like their early stuff, and it was cheap .
