<< if you have a favorite female artist that has influenced you deeply - please let us know the track name & why?: >> "influenced me deeply"? hmmm.... my favorite female recording artist is, hands down, Ms. Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins. i listen to this band a lot, and there really isn't anything else like them. Ms. Fraser's vocal powers are impressive, and her emotive powers are wondrous as well. sure, she sings incomprehensible nonsense (syllables and sounds, not words), but that merely removes the cognitive side of the listening act, allowing you to listen fully with your right brain and just sense the emotions she is trying to convey. usually she is trying to portray calm and safety through sound. listen to anything off of _Victorialand_ to hear that. sometimes she is screaming at the void, yelling at the chaos that is life. see, "The Spanglemaker" or "Hitherto" for good examples of that stuff.... okay, well, hope that helps you on your project bbroo!
