I thought there should be a thread discussing the vocal work of this lovely lady.
Personally for me, she grew on me quite well. I'm always skeptical about female vocals, because they always sound like someone else. A lot of goth vocals end up just sounding like Amy Lee, etc. But I recall Dev mentioning that he could "make a female voice sound perfect", so I figured that he was interested in directing and recording a female vocalist, after working with so many dudes all the while. And sure enough, Dev captured Anneke well and her performance on Addicted has this sort-of ethereal quality (especially in Numbered). It sort of makes me wonder, what if he collaborated with her since the beginning? What if Ocean Machine or Infinity had these angelic vocals on it? Especially Infinity, too. I mean, Truth just sounds like the sky opening up and shitting on your face, imagine Anneke rounding out the voices in Dynamics, Unity, hell ANY of them.
Thoughts?
