Orgasmic Vocals

So here we have some women apparently in the throes of who knows what.  PF vs. FZ.  So what's your preference?

Anyway, the woman in Zappa's piece is not in orgasm but in torture. Have you ever listened to the lyrics, or did you only listen to those screams and shouts ?
"Machine Love" by Mother Gong has lots of erotic sighs by Gilli Smyth.
In Clearlight's "Spirale d' Amour" there is some orgasmic sighing of a woman in the quiet middle part.
And don't you forget "Brainticket" by Brainticket, which to me sounds like a woman orgasming on LSD.
Tough choice between the two pieces given here though; Claire Torry does a fantastic job. But that little kinky demon inside me makes me vote for Zappa's BDSM scenario .
As to Aphrodite's Child: Yes, Irene Papas really freaks out on that one. I simply love that track.

As much as I think Great Gig in the Sky is a much better track than Zappa's or at least more memorable(duh!), The Torture Never Stops was my first song that grabbed me to Zappa's music, the simple structure repeating it over and over again, with Zappa's low-timbre voice, the woman shouting, ahh simply perfect.

Zappa gets my vote..

Dawn Muir on "Cottonwoodhill" is still the most orgasmic vocal I've ever heard. Excellent stuff.

And for that, the torture will never stop for you, my friend.  For Omri, the torture may still be about to begin and the it'll stink so bad that the stones will be chokin' and weeping greenish drops...

By the way, Zappa was using a woman making orgasmic screams rather than tortuous screams strictly for comedic purposes.  No women were actually harmed in the making of that song.

I'm not even going to go into giant fire puffers.   Feel free to eat your oddball pig parts now.

Now that I think of it, it's not really one of my favorite Zappa tracks.  Even though I voted to the contrary, I do prefer the Floyd track.

I heard The Torture Never stops once. I think it tends to SM and I don't have anything with this kind of stuff. I find it rather disgusting.

^^^The title may suggest so. Maybe some prog/rock mythology has developed behind my back. But as far as I am taught, having an orgasm is exclusively assigned to earthly life.

That's interesting. Do you know any good examples of orgasmic death poems?
