   Wow, that sounds interesting.  Have you heard the Crippled Dick compilation   
   of Karin Krog's spacey/dub/jazz tracks?  Incredible jazz vocals, but with   
   weird effects and dubby grooves.  Plus you get great back-up musicians like   
   Jon Christensen and Steve Swallow.  Recommended if you have a taste for the   
   bizzare.
