Canada's Nettwerk label is fairly notable for releasing and managing some strong female vocalists. Sarah McLachlan, Avril Lavigne and Leigh Nash of Sixpense None the Richer have all called Nettwerk home at one time or another. But as far as purity of vocals goes, Jacqui Hunt of Single Gun Theory has them all beat. The Australian trio released three albums between 1987 and 1994 featuring Hunt on vocals with Pete Rivett-Carnac and Kath Power on samplers and keyboards. In style, Single Gun Theory combines the electronic beats of dance music with nuances of Indian and Middle Eastern music and ethereal vocals.
The band also scored the 2000 film, The Monkey's Mask before the members went their separate ways. The three albums Exorcise This Wasteland, Like Stars in My Hands, and Flow, River of My Soul are out of print, but available from Amazon.com as digital downloads.
