Right now there are a couple of sounds that really catch my ear.

1) This opening guitar riff that starts @ 31 seconds was composed by Guy Chambers of Robbie Williams' Angels fame.

since most acts make the most money out of live acts, i'd say the roadies are the unsung heroes, they get paid a pittance, but the success of the shows are mostly due to them, and they slog harder than the performers

I dont mean to be rude but you obviously didnt read the first post, just the thread title. (Dont worry you are not the only one)

Apologies I just want to try and keep on topic.

oh ok, apologies

a lot of session men/women, then, they get a tiny footnote on the album sleeve, but most of them are more capable than the main act

Yes! This is exactly who I am on about.

Do you know of any names? or examples of the music they have played on which you like?

Joe South - he played a lot of the guitar parts on Dylan's three mid-60s "seminal" electric albums

Two of my long time favorites are Steve Cropper and Donald "Duck" Dunn.
A couple of very impressive studio musicians, songwriters, producers, and band members with Booker T. & The M.G.'s and many other bands.

Steve Cropper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donald "Duck" Dunn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First person who comes to mind is a woman called Morgan. She fronted The Romanovs, who are criminally ignored for such interesting, experimental, gothic/ classical (that's a lot of tags) music.

(look up "The Romanovs - Fever Pitch" on youtube, I can't post links)

She then went on to contribute to albums like the most recent M83 LP, yet no one knows who she is.

Morgan Kibby contributed vocals on Saturdays = Youth, not sure if she is on their latest album.

Also the cello player in The Romanovs was Ana Lenchantin, the sister of Paz Lenchantin who played in Zwan and A Perfect Circle. Ana also played with Zwan occasionally.

I'll post the song for you. I've never actually listened to them but this song seems pretty good.

M'why thank you. Album as a whole is great, by the way. Deeply disturbing, perhaps, but still great.
