"the human game":

YESSS!!! Had to read all comments, I was waiting to see someone mentioning Lisa Gerrard :) I saw Dead Can Dance live last year, absolutely amazing. Used one pack of napkins. :)

She has an incredible deep voice, like a goddess from a very old era...i would like very much to see her live.

here's another great song she did for the brillant "The insider" movie..."Meltdown":

"See the sun" another beautiful song for another fine Michael Mann movie, "Ali":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4sUetq7WxM

and this Dead Can Dance track for the quite unforgettable ending of "The mist":

Thanks for the links! Host of Seraphim is easily one of my favourite DCD songs, I think I've heard it in couple of films also... Besides Mist, it was in Children of Men if I remember correctly..
Couple of all-time favourites of mine are such classics, Frontier and Cantara, simply stunning!

I always liked to watch Poppy Seed Grinder live... Just before the last concert I heard they actually have a new singer - a female one. So I was like, I gotta see this. Have to admit, she totally nailed it!  ;D

The new one by Evanescence, 'Use My Voice' is both an excellent song and well worthy in a political sense...

The track is a bit different on the "Old apple tree" album she made in 2007 with her dad Jack...she was already pretty great before her  own solo career!
