Thanks :) I'll definitely check out Porcupine Tree -- I'm sure I've 
heard the name before, but I've yet to listen to any of their work.

Do you (or anyone else) have links to some good online vocal exercises? 
It's definitely something I'd like to improve, and something that I 
think I could stand to spend a lot more time practising.

Thanks
