I put this up in Christmas Songs as it was a hit in December 1988 but it is worth a place here too ..

 

I love that song Victoria, thanks.

 

Pleased you enjoyed it John, I just love it.

 

This might work for you @Nikolaos . Wonderful harmonies, imho.

 

@Freddy Thank you my friend, enjoyed that and will seek more of their music out. Nice to see you posting here, was just listening to that 'Incoherence' album you mentioned a while back and wondering where you'd got to! Mine has not just been a listen, but a phenomenal watch. Iana Salenko's dancing is as if gravity lacks the same pull for her as the rest of us, incredible grace and skill!

Another example of artistic skill which is almost superhuman, the amazing Diana Damrau...

Almost as good as Dawn French Ballet isn’t something that floats my boat. That said, I can appreciate the skill, precision and complexity involved, and yes, very impressive. Glad you caught up with ‘Incoherence’. I don’t know if you used YouTube to listen? (it’s not on Spotify) The thing is, one track leads directly to the next, and with YouTube there’s always going to be a gap between tracks, disrupting the ‘flow’. I like to listen to it when all is quiet (no distractions), lights turned down low. The Roches. An American group I think, all sisters. A funny thing, individually pretty average voices, but when harmonising magic happens, for me. The track I posted was taken from ‘Keep On Doing’, and apart from the opening track (Hallelujah Chorus ), the album is stuffed with good tunes, imo. I haven’t heard much else by them, but from memory the songs were pretty average.
