This is from an album called The Scale – I can’t recommend it highly enough. This is the only sample I could find…I don’t think it’s the best tune, but there you go. I’m sure I can hear Ratledge samples in amongst some of the sounds used on the album.
As always, apologies if this is old hat and everyone already owns it…
I didn’t hear this at the time…
Thanks fitter,. That was an exciting soundtrack to my rice crispies.
Diratz? Where is she from?
Our sensual, soulful chanteuse is from France. This review gives some background.

I look forward to listening to the rest of the album.
She reminds me a little of Nico …
Reminds me slightly of Diamanda Galás, but singing flat a bit too often in that second clip.
That’s exactly what put me off! I’m sure she has plenty of soul, but I’m not sure she can sing.
I was going to compile a list of vocalists, beloved of the Afterword, but of whom it might reasonably be argued that they can’t sing. Then I thought, what’s the point?
Second clip is nothing to do with the album, if that helps…
