Morcheeba is a band with a black singer woman with a voice incredible.
This band uses less machines that Massive Attack, Portishead or Tricky,
but they uses more sofisticate instrument.
I listen tricky, I like him. Tricky is not part of Massive Attack, he
only worked with them in their 2 albums.

assistant: [Phil Anselmo]
Granted, a lot of those hair bands had great vocals. I really get
off on Anselmo's vocals for "Shattered" (is that it? Track 7 from
"CowboysFrom Hell"). Unreal!
Although I like his voice there, I'm not too keen on the way they
went about that last bit.
They're the same, except for the extra 2 minutes or so tacked
onto the end of the album version. (That's not quite right.. I
mean the 2 minutes hacked off the end of the single version).
Not death - semi-death. Bands that the average Joe on the street
would label death. Machine Head, Fear Factory, etc. Semi-growly
vocals (a la Pantera) and almost deathy guitars (a la Sepultura).
Stuff that's nowhere near as fast as death nor has death's very
low tone growls, but has the annoying semi-growls like the
aformentioned bands, and very bassy guitars.
Some of Sepultura's work has been pretty death-inspired. It's not
death, but it's hard to describe it without bringing death into
it. It's fake death, maybe. :)
It's one of my favourites. :)

Boo, hiss!  Were there any -good- moments, or was it all a wash?  I always

again (I wouldn't trade Ian Gillan for the world, but have to admit that I
wouldn't mind seeing Coverdale grow up a bit and do something with his own
bandmates, even if it's just one track on an album.).
Did you find "Love Hunter" yet?  That one boasts "Walking in the Shadow of
the Blues," one of my fave Whitesnake tunes, and a track called "Mean
Business" that sounds a bit like "Communication Breakdown," even before
Coverdale decided that he wanted to betray his past and attempt to sound like
Led Zeppelin (That's not a BAD thing, but leave it to Page, Plant, and Jones,
please.).
