At the start, Magnetic Fields had a female singer, called Susan Anway. She is the voice in their two first albuns (which were later released in one single CD): "Distant Plastic Trees" and "The Wayward Bus". Then she left the band and went back to her city (and I just can't remember the name of the place). So, the first and only supreme genious of humanity, Stephin Merrit, the guy who wrote the most perfect song a human beign has ever dreamt to create ("Born on a Train", from 'The Charm of the Highway Strip') started singing with that MARVELLOUS voice that you can also listen in Future Bible Heroes and The Gothic Archies (he has another band, The 6ths, but I don't know it yet). As I always say, everybody in this world should listen "When You Were My Baby" at least once in life. Then this would be - for sure - a much better world to live on... :o) Fabiana ----------

Hey all, I know a good portion of the list likes the Magnetic Fields so you can probably help me. I just bought the Future Bible Hereos CD and I have only listened to it once and I really like it. I really enjoy the female vocals yet I have not got into the male vocals. I was wondering if all the Magnetic Fields music sound like the male vocals? And does his voice grow on you over time?

Thanks, Andrew N.
