There's a segment of the Club's single "War is Stupid" which
contains what certainly sounds like a fragment of Pink Floyd's "Breath"
from "Dark Side of the Moon"...I'm referring to the (wordless) female
vocal part that just wails away in the background. Has anybody else
noticed this?

I heard an announcer on a local radio station mention that the singer who did the "wailing" on the new Culture Club track is in fact the same person who did the "wailing" in "Breath". Unfortunately I do not recall her name.

Has anybody else noticed this? That anyone could like both Pink Floyd and Culture Club totally offends my sensibilities. Just because a guy dresses like a girl doesn't mean he has any idea of what art is. In any case, it turns out that Clare Torry, who did the vocals for "The Great Gig in the Sky" on "The Dark Side of the Moon" is a member of Culture Club. P.S. Would people stop correcting Random, who said that he hasn't liked Genesis since Peter Gabriel joined it and hasn't like Kate Bush since she started stealing Pat Benetar songs. He obviously wasn't serious, and was saying these things just to annoy me. -- -Doug Alan mit-eddie!nessus Nessus@MIT-MC "What does 'I' mean"?

If you'll re-read the original article you'll note that I did not mention anything about liking or not liking either band. -- Rich Kulawiec @ Purdue University Computing Center { decvax, ihnp4, uiucdcs } !pur-ee!rsk & { decwrl, hplabs, ucbvax } !purdue!rsk

The female backup vocalist for Culture Club's (aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhh :-) )
new single IS the same person who did the backup vocals on Pink Floyd's
"Dark Side of the Moon" album, and in particular the vocals(? :-) ) for the
song "Great Gig in the Sky" at the end of the first side. (What a lousy career
move! :-) )
