James, thanks. I liked her so much I married her, but just not for the voice. My songs are all over the place, stylistically, but I do like Portishead & Goldfrapp. A less well-known band is Ruby Rough. German guy and Boston girl. They do electronica (not so much dance stuff) w/ her vocals over the top. I'm sure there lots of others, too.
Fox - yea, it is right on the edge. I wasn't sold on the vocals at first, but ended up liking them. I'll keep that virbrato mind.
