BACKGROUND
It's unusual for me to choose female voices, but I think these 3 are particularily distinctive. Rikki for exhuberance (and the whistling!), Bjork for the raw, rocking quality of this track (recorded live at the Milk Bar toilets!) compared to her more mannered output, and Ab-i Cesm for the amazing, soaring voice of Sahabat Akkiraz over the equally amazing sounds of this track; I had never heard of her before until I bought Su.
