Ratfink,

I can do this for you. No charge. If you can send me an email with your address details, i'll pop it in the post on Saturday for you.

Sound Ok?

Thank you!!!

Didn't know anything about this band untill I saw them perform on Jonathan Ross a couple of weeks ago. Really enjoyed the Sessions on BBC4. Good to see Marc Almond on there - didn't look very well but sang sublimely. Antony is a real talent imo. Just added the album to my xmas list

Its a shame his tiresome voice of his gets in the way of those gorgeously "floral", melodic compositions. Very disciplined, well-judged arrangements, hampered by painful whining in the background

His work is crying out to be covered/re-interpreted by someone who can actually add a decent voice to the mix - one that will compliment these meandering, rose-tinted daydreams and help uncover the true beauty of his music.

Any suggestions as to who would be capable of such a task? I think falsetto's are out of the question - we need the sexually unrequited/virginal touch of a young female voice.

well, I've thought about it for a bit, and am buggered if I know

Not a female voice but think the voice of David Mcalmont would suit.

[dynamic turtle]

Hmm, still very falsetto, but infinitely more listenable than Anthony's!

Good call

Personally I liked his voice but, saying that, I wouldn't go about recommending that everyone should get a copy of the album as more than a few would probably be a bit peeved off with his style. As falsetto's go though, it's better than Justin Hawkins

Damn.....missed this. Anyone know if it's going to be repeated. TIA

jimnorth, sorry mate I've just deleted it from my sky+ otherwise I would have sent you a copy. Not sure if the show is repeated again but Antony & The Johnsons are on Jools Holland this Friday (23rd Dec.).
