Diamanda Galás: Malediction And Prayer (Mute) **½
Ben Myers, Melody Maker, 2 May 1998
WITH A voice akin to Ella Fitzgerald, Edith Piaf and Shirley Bassey, yet with a distinctly goth-baroque slant, Galás is something of a unique entity. Especially when you consider she was also the subject of many of Henry Rollins' infamous diary entries (and is possibly the only lady he has any respect for).
Total word count of piece: 225
