Introduction to Danielle Dax
HTML http://www.danielledax.com/images/DAX%20PHOTOS%20LARGE/DANIELLE_DAX_010.jpg
Danielle Dax was a experimental musician and producer genius
from the early 80s who quickly found her own style of dark and
fun music with an impressive self-taught approach towards her
first couple of records. Her voice is charming and adventurous.
Beautiful and mystical. Noone sounds quite like Dax! This is a
very obscure artist that many missed out on back in the 80s. She
is criminally underrated and needs more people to discover how
amazing her music is. However, Dax is not for everyone. Some
will fall in love with her very unique style of eccentric,
colorful and chaotic story telling world. Others will simply be
mildly amused and then pass her over as a wannabe artist, and
others will really hate her.
I truly fell in love with her music soon after I heard these few
songs that she did late in her career.. (when she was changing
her music to a more accessible but still really decent
pop/mainstream sound)..
The first share is Big hollow man which comes from Inky Bloaters
1987. A cool funky pop tune..

Next is her cover of a cool Beatles song called Tomorrow never
knows. I heard the original and I think that she did a great job
with this cover. I really like the video and cool Egyptian
sound/design here..

Boy does Danielle Dax look sexy in this video! Wow!
I was hooked pretty much after just seeing these first two
videos/songs. Since then I became fully obsessed with her music
and I spent good money tracking down all of her material. Now I
proudly own everything that she has put out.
There's some great live videos here on Youtube that I will share
a few of next.
But first, here are a few great tunes from her late 80s pop
area..
Where the flies are is a strange and beautiful poppy adventurous
tune sure to capture some of the inner imagination..

Next is one of my favorites called Flashback! I love the cool
way that she sings this one. It's wonderfully bizarre..

Now in closing, here are two of her entertaining live concert
performances from her earlier experimental phase. The percussion
and singing here is just madness! So unique and creative..
sleep has no property (from Inky Bloaters in 87..

And if you prefer to hear the studio recording of sleep has no
property, since the live recordings here are not the best audio
quality..listen to it here..
