Hi Benjani, good topic imo!
Yeah, Beck would be superb, but the chems are pushing the new up and coming artists/bands...in 96, already esablished Noel Gallagher from Oasis, Beth Orton an underachiever in my opinion...right through to Bloc Party and Kele, and the Magic Numbers...
I'd got into a metal/rock band from the states from my mate called filter, the lead singer has such a poweful and ranging voice, I would love to see hi work with the Chems, because he worked so well with THe Crystal Method track 'Trip Like I do' back in 99.
Also Lisa Gerrard who sings a lot of the Gladiator soundtrack, she's got a beautiful voice.
But Tom n Ed are masters at the collab's , they know who's Mustard.
My life is a boat, being blown by you. With nothing ahead, just the deepest blue... To me you're like a setting sun. You rise then you're gone.

Ha-ha!!!! Paris!!!
She'd probably so far up her own arse to turn the Chems down! She's a silly girl.

I've mentioned Lisa Gerrard before whenever collab topics have been brought up on the board. I'd love to hear what the Chems could do with her imput. I like your style, VMan - you really ought to check out Dead Can Dance. Her vocals are sublime and so is the music.

Hey whirly, thanks , I like to think my style is pretty credible when it comes to music, much like your own ;-). Yeah, Lisa Gerrard's voals are so soothing, have you heard he album, 'The silver Tree? I have it and it's so spacey, and beautiful....my fave track of there is 'Space Weaver', check it out if you havent heard that one! Dead can Dance? Ok I will look that out, thanks Whirly, good to talk again :-)

Sure thang, VMan - thanks for the compliment. I keep meaning to check out everyone's tracks in that thread but I keep getting sidetracked. There's a bit of talent here... I will make a conscious effort to be more involved in that thread!
And I'll check out The Silver Tree. I'm not very familiar with Lisa Gerard's solo stuff but given that I like Dead Can Dance, I'll give it a shot.

i'm not a very big fan of dylan myself, but it'd be really interesting to see what a dylan - chems collab could churn out.
chemdup - haven't they already enough? ;)

I know what you mean Whirly, I'm like a kid in a sweet shop on this site, so much to choose from and so little time! Ha-ha...Yeah Silver Tree is very epic and atmospheric!
Thanks, I look forward to your reviews ;-)

Has to be Igor Stavinsky! He was the musical genius of his generation, breaking new ground, unsettling the establishment, moving music in a new direction... When one of his early works was first played in a Paris theatre, almost 100 years ago, there was a riot, punters punching each other out in their love and hatred for the Rite of Spring, as the piece was called. Now that's the sort of passion music should bring...
