I fell back in love with them after I saw the documentary Red Without Blue last year. Such beautiful, beautiful music. Such talent. I don't think I can pick a favourite song. Also, from what I've seen the music is even better live than on CD.
Anyone else a fan? Has anyone seen Antony in concert? They were in Toronto last February and I couldn't make it there due to school. I was thoroughly upset.

Yeah, it's definitely something many people have a hard time getting used to and isn't for everyone. I think it's rather unique.

I went through a period where I thought his voice was the most beautiful thing ever, but after a while I got a bit tired of it. "The Lake" is still really beautiful, though, and the small doses of him on Current 93's Black Ships Ate the Sky is about the perfect amount of Antony for me, these days (especially "The Beautiful Dancing Dust", such a nice little lullaby, hehe).

His voice is so weird and haunting. I bought 'The Crying Light' too, and I love it; best if I'm working super early in the morning.
I do have about a four-song limit, though, before I have to switch to something else to relieve the creeps I get, ahahaha.

Such a great act. "Hope There's Someone" is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life.
It is weird/awesome hearing him guest on Hercules and the Love Affair tracks, though. Such good stuff.

I really like The Crying Light, but I can't always get past his voice, too. Sometimes I love it, though.

Still haven't heard The Crying Light but I love his first two albums. I absolutely love his voice.

I really love his voice.
His performance on that Current 93 instrumental track is so surreal and amazing. "Hope There's Someone" is indeed one of the better songs ever made.
I like the new album more than I am a Bird now, but I don't know how it compares to the stuff from before that.
