"Whoever timed this light should be beaten to death with it." "If you didn't want to get run over, you shouldn't have been crossing the street." Fun for the whole family.


Make sure to get the Live version. Way more energy that the studio release.

Roger Wootten of Comus. Damo Sazuki of Can gets pretty weird on Tago Mago (Augmn/Peking O). Peking O, I think, is based on Peking Opera, which includes some weird vocal styles, along with Japanese Kabuki and Korean P'ansori. There are several traditions of "overtone" singing from Inuit to Tibetan. All this can be found on Youtube or in various anthologies. I've gone on and on about the Nonesuch Explorer Series which likely has all of these (though not all of the series is still in print).

I am a bass voice, so I've always been interested in other bass voices. There have been artists who hide it well like Ariel Pink and David Bowie, but others flaunt it. Of these, perhaps the most famous is gospel singer J. D. Sumner. He was once the lowest singer (now passed by 12-octave singing Tim Storms), but his recordings are older which make his voice sound more haunting than many of the modern basses who have surpassed him in range.

Dolmen Music by Meredith Monk comes to mind.

Demetrio Stratos from AREA but also for his solo albums. The man was in a league of his own. The only one up there in terms of craziness would be Diamanda Galas, the woman who can shatter granite with her vocal chords.

Sheila Chandra has a gorgeous singing voice, but she also does some pretty interesting "percussive" vocal things, such as her "Speaking In Tongues" tunes.


Diamanda Galas
is an obvious one.

not to mention Starsailor. Pretty much anything Buckley sings keeps me on the edge of my seat.

Which reminds me of another one - Aria by Alan Sorrenti. Nice prog folk that veers suddenly into weirdness without warning.

Mike Patton.





Yamatsuka Eye is pretty extreme.



While on the subject of Mr. Eye, just about everyone in his band Boredoms is worth a mention.



Yoshimi P-we of Boredoms, Ooioo, and a good many other bands.

Not prog, but this thread wouldn't be complete without mentioning Tom Waits

Aw man, beaten to the punch...and my youtube clip isn't really a proper representation of her sheer wildness...I should change it when I get the chance.

I'd have to hit extreme metal levels to find female singers as loony...and they wouldn't be as skillful. I like former Opera IX singer Cadaveria's voice, screaming but clearly feminine, like some unhinged witch. Epic but not really prog though.

Daniel Gildenlow from POS. Listen Used from the perfect element for instance. Raping, high pitched notes and really low notes. He is one of the few vocalists that has a big range of octaves, i dont remember the number.
