THE ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING VOICE OF ELIZABETH FRASER!

[DREXER]

The main attraction of Cocteau Twins when I began being a fanatic was not only the upward spiral to heaven description of Robin Guthrie's successful audio production and hypnotizing guitar work was Elizabeth Fraser's voice. I noticed the amazing control of her vibrato as my experience of being a musician since third grade and inherited talents from my Grandparent's that met at Julliard's School of Music. I listen to the form of music with extreme intensity and concentration. That is why I was hypnotized when I heard Cocteau Twins for the first time when I bought the tape, "Blue Bell Knoll." I had found the perfect sound! Found by an experiment of selling and buying used music. In search for what attracts me and not what the world is trying it's hardest to choose the music in their attempt to pound it into my head. But I seek my own musical pleasures.

I had found such a beautiful and perfect sound. Elizabeth's vocal control amazed me more than any vocalist that I had ever heard. She can hit a flat and in tune note then yodel. She can use her abdomen, thought, and jaw to create different types of vibrato and different vocal accents for the emotion of a song. I also noticed that she can use her vibrato techniques that matches the rhythm of the music in half notes, quarter, eighth, and amazing sixteenth beet vibrato. All matching perfectly with the rhythm of the particular song for an extremely creative emotional description of a song.

I couldn't understand what words she is singing. What the lyrics were and noticed that it was gibberish. Later I learned a great reason for doing this when Dead Can Dance's live show, then the descriptions of the music between songs. Lisa Gerrard described music in such a bazaar and attractive way and described the prisons of language in music. It took me a while to understand the significance of that style of understanding the reason for language imprisoning the song.

In that fashion, it allows every listener to feel a personal interpretation of how the song makes the listener feel and not a song that is about one thing by it's lyrical description in the song that's the same for every listener.

I realized with such an amazing gratitude that there is more freedom to allow me to have my own personal interpretation of a song that isn't imprisoned by language, but an emotion that is unique to our own personal interpretation.

Very nicely expressed, Drex, but less of the purple crayon, please ?

Don't you get board of the same old thing? C'mon man. It's creative.

OK. Here...

[fornasetti]

That's much easier on the eye, my friend.

[DREXER]

That's much easier on the eye, my friend.
You have only one eye? Dude... I like feal like soooo sorry. Like, did Uma Therman like rip out your eye for killing her like master and stuff?

[fornasetti]

Taxi for Drexer !

[4CC]

It's like on its way Forna. ;)

[mmmender]

did someone at least put a fiver in his pocket?

[DREXER]

did someone at least put a fiver in his pocket?

What's a fiver?

[4CC]

English slang for a £5 note. Our £10 notes are tenners. We're an imaginative lot sometimes.

What would be an alto?

I don't have a pound logo key. There isn't a "symbol" font.

[4CC]

Hmmm, altogether more money than you know what to do with.

[DREXER]

It was a pun intended. Tenor, alto, baratone...

[EGOSOPHY]

Regards for saving me from the hellic mourn of drawing words ! As the other half just filled me On ! Lullabies to yours !

[elisa]

His name was really Guy Wood?

[randomrob]

Im astonishly memorized by this creativivification

[Sean_Montgomery]

Jesus, for a second there I thought Drexer was back.

[randomrob]

th plutocrissy of morgan gives me much hopefuls. seriously what did i eat?

ha ha

[elysium]

Jesus, for a second there I thought Drexer was back.

Me too. Now my stomache hurts.

[spangled]

Someone's gonna have to fill me in...? :nod:

[elysium]

"Banned" is all that needs to be said.

[randomrob]

I watched 'the Manchurian candidate' w/Sinatra and Larry Harvey today... what is up w/the romance between Sinatra and Janet Leigh..? The dialog between them is bizarre, to say the least.

[elysium]

I gotta put that on the Netfilx list. I like to watch the originals then the remakes back to back.

[randomrob]

really? thats wild. I predict a remake of 'Near Dark' soon.

[elysium]

Yep, did "The Stepford Wives" that way. Horribly disappointed in the remake.

[EGOSOPHY]

Wonderland , my Alice !

Katharine Ross is so hot in that movie I can't stand it, and something about it being a joke, but played so straightfaced made it all the more disturbing

[randomrob]

and also Nicole Kidman IS a robot- so thats doubly unfunny

[elysium]

I liked her character's kick-ass attitude, but she pussed out in the end and it made me sooooo mad! And yes, not too hard on the eyes either. :nod:

[randomrob]

she wanted her kids back... and she hit her husband in the head w/a fire poker... thats not pussing out!

[elysium]

That is the point in the movie where I cheered (much to Mr. Ely's chagrin) but at the very end I felt like she gave up--I guess I just wanted her to go in to the "Men's Club" swinging.

[moeism]

i was around when drexer was but i ignored his posts so i don't really know much about the beef.

[Phil Lawton]

Jesus, for a second there I thought Drexer was back.

I just muttered "What the Christing fuck....?" to myself when I saw the thread....'cos I'm an articulate sort when surprised....

[randomrob]

the threadliness has humblefied my amazement

[lucynow]

I too like the voice. I find some of her stuff frustrating because it seems like she's hiding behind the music, the lyrics, whatever's most convenient. I'm a bit of a luddite and think that instuments should be there to support the singer and not be the main focus. Mary and Kala from Les Retrouvailles and the acoustic version of Rilkean Heart to me are exquisite. I hope her new album has more of this stuff.

[randomrob]

a new album?! :omg: Im mysterized

[andylama]

Mary and Kala from Les Retrouvailles and the acoustic version of Rilkean Heart to me are exquisite. I hope her new album has more of this stuff.

I expect that it will be entirely similar to Mary and Kala.

[fornasetti]

I expect that it will be entirely similar to Mary and Kala.

I'm not going to object to that.

[randomrob]

I objectify to the Drexer, Fish-noodles for Liz
