    Otherwise: cool list!

      How's about... uhm... forgot the exact title, but...

      OK, so lyrics-wise it may not be entirely in line with the faction, but still.

It works the same in any country." -- Hermann Goering

            Don't know the original composer, but "Onward, Christian Solders" would seem to me to be a popular Mirriam choice.

              What about that tune from My Life in the Bush of Ghosts with the Lebanese Mountain Singer guy? I always loved that tune.

                Dunya Yusin and 'Regiment' . The original album they sourced it from was called 'The Human Voice in the World of Islam' and I sold it for a packet a few years ago.

                Forgot: J. S. Bach's 'Ein Feste Burg ist Unser Gott' which is so Miriam.

                    Yea that's the one. Between the vocal and the bass it always got an audience response.

                      I remember reading an interview with Eno saying he was really pissed off, because reviewers kept saying what a great guitar solo there was on the song, little realizing it was Eno's synth playing.

                      Still, if you call yourself a non-musician long enough, people will take you at your word....

                        I love that song, especially the live version from their swansong Los Angeles concert. Merchant's voice is so perfect.

                          Well I suppose that a good part of his career was spent blurring the distinctions between the two instruments, but it does sound like a synth wheel more than a guitar to me. I always loved the wall of percussion and tremendous bass on that album throughout, it really made those solos powerful when they occurred.
