Antony & The Johnsons - Swanlights
I love Flétta with Björk. It's the only track I've heard from the album (I'm a huge Björk fan). I also liked their earlier collaboration "The Dull Flame Of Desire" on Björk's Volta (although I didn't like My Juvenile much).
I'm going to give the album a listen. I've never really paid attention to Antony and the Johnsons much.

Yeah I like the earlier Bjork collaberation too, give 'I am a Bird now' a try as a great introduction to his music
I really like this album. I'm listening for a second time. Sometimes it's a bit weird (which is good... I like weird!). I particularly like Ghosts, I'm in Love and Flétta.
I'm in Love is one of the best songs I've heard all year I think
RARE for me!

Ive only recently been introduced to Antony And The Johnsons music but straight away fell in love with Antony's beautiful, haunting, androgynous voice. I instantly bought 'The Crying Light' and 'I Am A Bird Now' the latter of which I think is one of the most sensational albums ive ever heard.
I bought 'Swanlights' the other day but to be honest ive yet to really get into it. 'The Spirit Was Gone' instantly caught me. It's the Antony I love on that track. Just piano and strings. Hauntingly beautiful, melancholy vibe. Gives me chills and I think has to be one of Antonys finest songs to date. However sadly the rest of the album just didnt draw me in and I was finding alot of the tracks extremely repetitive. The voice is incredible, I was just longing for something I didnt get from the record. I probably have to listen to it in a different mind set. Listening to 'Thank You For Your Love' right now and that is already growing on me
