A bit more on America. Also, Sting and Shaggy have a collaborative example.


* Wall of Voodoo was named by a producer who compared their peculiar oeuvre to disco's "wall of sound", made by densely layering orchestras and synth...except Stan Ridgway and Co sounded like a "wall of voodoo."

They named their band to point out their American heritage.
