I could get into the third one. :) They seem Korean. Are they?

Yep, Korean. You should check out their youtube channel, lots of awesome stuff.

Yello may not be to everyone's taste, but Boris Blank and Malia make for a fine pairing here.
My favourite track is Raising Venus, but most everything is good on this album.

The video is blocked in US but I found it on Roon and playing it as I type this:

Both fidelity and music seem excellent!

No prob's accessing here - interesting voice ... another Shirley Bassey?

Boris is certainly a craftsman in what he does - from Wikipedia:
Yello rarely uses samples from previously released music; nearly every instrument has been sampled and re-engineered by Boris Blank, who over the years has built up an original sample library of over 100,000 named and categorised sounds

Wow! Never saw here live before. What a presence!

Yeah, I know, right? Damn.
I only recently found this, and she really suits the stripped down acoustic guitar and vocal thing. I like her electronic stuff too, but this is just awesome.

And just between you and me (and the entire internet), there may have been some man-tears involved when I first saw this clip... :oops:

Agreed. Much more immediate emotionally than the studio stuff.

Concerning man tears: mos def! Had I not been happily engaged... then there's a high chance I would have awkwardly started to show up on all her concerts ;)

As long as you look but don't touch it's OK, right?

Vanessa Rubin:


Regina Belle (what a voice!)


Of course Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel


The original version of Missing before Todd Terry got to it and wrecked it. Tracy Thorn's longing voice, almost but not quite flat from sadness:


I have to stop. There's just so many real female singers... :)

As I have posted here before I am very pleased with all my LYAMBIkO disc with her trio. These guys can play. On different labels but I'm pretty sure they were recorded at the same German studio. Excellent covers of Afro Blue and Black Coffee just to name a few
