^No, she is still alive. The name of the woman is Clare Torry. According to Wikipedia, she claimed co-authorship of The Great Gig in 2005 (32 years after its release):

^ No, I meant that the character who's role Clare Torry is playing on The Great Gig is dying (and that's why she's screaming, not because she's having an orgasm).

@Joel, I thought the song's opening was pretty cool, it wasn't too metal, and that guitar sound is just epic for some one like me who grew up in a house where King Crimson's Red is number 1, but after that the song just sucked balls, AKA SCREAMO.

The lyrics are even worse - I have no idea how PsyOpus are considered talented by anyone, really
Mrs L and myself generally find opportunities for rumpy pumpy during the gaps between tracks (and still have time for the cigarette and shower before the drum intro has finished in most cases)

The term orasm in indeed rather baffling. Although a neologism, I believe that it is related to the noun orgasm, but the lack of the letter g seems to indicate that it is more to do with oral communication such as oratory or oration. Therefore, a good orasm could mean a satisfying use of sexual language - or to use the colloquial expression 'talking dirty'. Why someone would want to utter a string of sexual profanities whilst listening to Pink Floyd's 'Great Gig in the Sky' is beyond me. Why someone would want to share this information with the great and the good at Prog Archives is even further beyond me. I fear I may have lived a rather sheltered life!
