If not, if you're worried about your ability to survive even a short burst of Diamanda's vocal gymnastics then you want the softer side of Diamanda. It's been recorded doing such things, and surely by now you're hunting on iTunes for examples of this.

It swoops and hollers, screams and dives. I may need to remind you that Lucifer, too, was an angel. Diamanda's voice is an instrument controlled only by Diamanda herself. That would be bass, guitar, keyboard, mandolin, guitar, koto, lap steel guitar, autoharp, ukelele, sitar, cello, continuum and recorder.ĭiamanda Galas, on the other hand, plays piano like you wouldn't believe, and sings like an angel. Let's quote what Wikipedia says he can play, right here right now, at the beginning of 2010. You can, however, include bassist, keyboardist, mandolinist… well, these 'ist's are becoming tiresome.

Now, he's the multi-instrumentalist from Led Zeppelin, apparently, but to most of us he's a very talented guitarist. The Sporting Life was released in 1994 by Diamanda Galas, along with John Paul Jones.
