Interactive poll: All you do to me is talk talk

Wow, interesting that already censorship of women is already hitting so hard, even in less obscure places than the street, although I suppose YT is also a public area.  

For those who, months ago, appreciated my selection of songs taken from 

here is the song (Out of Competition)

Lorica. 

The name is taken from a popular prayer, but the text is by Giovanni Lindo Ferretti. 

"In the Irish (Iberno-Scottish) monastic tradition, a lorica is a prayer recited for protection. It is essentially a "prayer of protection" in which the petitioner invokes all the power of God as a safeguard against evil in its many forms. The Latin word lōrīca originally meant "armor" (body armor, in the sense of chain mail or breastplate). The idea behind the name is probably derived from Ephesians 6:14, where Paul invites his readers to stand up, "having put on the breastplate of righteousness." The Greek word here translated as "breastplate" is θώραξ, in the Vulgate version rendered Loric. Lorica (prayer) - https://it.abcdef.wiki/wiki/Lorica_(prayer)

This is the translation of the text, made by the automatic translator with various corrections of mine.

Lorica

Please grant me, Lord, until the end.

Please grant me, Lord, until the end.

May my love descend upon them.

Let all his limbs be carefully scrutinized for my sake from head to soles of feet,

hair, forehead, cheeks, lips, tongue, throat -

where the word is formed, and the apparatus the word, the chest, the arms

hands - both on the back and in the palm, heart, liver, lungs,

the intestines and the whole belly, the physical structure as a whole,

the limbs, the veins, the nerves, the genitals, the thighs, the shins,

the kneecaps, the joints, the feet that walk,

flesh and blood.

O God, purify my heart, for my love.

O God, purify the heart, for my love.

I adjure you all, saints, angels, archangels, patriarchs, confessors, apostles, martyrs,

I conjure you all, thrones, dominations, cherubs and seraphs,

I adjure you all, virgins, widows, all you heavenly virtues,

I adjure you, sky and earth, sun and moon, all stars, lightning and clouds and winds and rains and fire and heat,

I adjure you, nights and days, darkness and moon,

I adjure you, all trees and stones, birds of the sky and all beasts of the earth,

the horses and the reptiles, the marine fish and all the worms,

and all the virtues and powers that are above heaven and earth.

So that we purify the heart, my heart, for my love.

So that we purify the heart, my heart, for my love.

Grant me, Lord until the end.

Purify the heart, my heart, for my love. 

It is an instrumental followed at 2.54 by a short spoken poem (still cant quite work out what it means) Kudos to Chris Stein who is an awesome guitarist as well throughout his career. 

I try to listen to them all but that has become increasingly hard in a week. I'm still somewhere in the middle of page 1. Lots of stuff, some of it excellent. Well done you! (Lots of very long stuff, too... that doesn't exactly make it easier though.)

@Cristi: You know often our tastes differ, but I like the Unconscious and Erik Truffaz stuff a lot.

@mathman: As Weird Al Yankovic is, I'd prefer one of the other two as your nomination, this is the kind of stuff I was looking for.

I think I made a mistake. This poll is about the spoken word as a stylistic device in music and this is a forum with predominantly English speaking members. So if I choose a piece with lyrics in a foreign language it makes sense to focus a bit more on the music, that is the music should be more interesting or appealing. Now I don't know what to do. My only English option is an artist that everybody knows, Patti Smith. Hmm . .

I like to think of commenting as giving a bit of help for the nomination process, so I tend to comment on those who have several options and where I have some clear preference, so...

I prophesy disaster: Don't care much about the Rollins Band one, but the other two are great.

suitkees: Surprisingly (?) the Alvin Lucier one is one of the very few (3?) I know here. Nice suggestion for this poll but chances are I wouldn't vote for it. Not sure what to make of the Prefab Sprout one, particularly because I haven't found 22 minutes time for properly listening to it. First impression, it may or may not be worth more listens, not sure. Anthony Joseph's one is fine but maybe not among the top three of the whole bunch. (I'd choose it over King Missile though.)

dr wu: Masters of Reality clearly over Shatner. Nice attempt at Rocket Man though (I know that wasn't yours).  

Mila: Pierrot Lunaire is another one I know already, gotta say it doesn't give me that much. I don't remember the Laurie Anderson one; I have heard quite a bit of her material back in the day but never became a fan and haven't listened to her for ages.There's surely potential but it doesn't grab me at first listen. The long version of BLIZZARD makes much more sense to me than the short one (and is my favourite pick out of yours - but wait, there's Marina Abramovic, love that one - but then does it count? You're surely exploring the limits here!).
