"Vocal is sometimes very similar to that of Lanegan." Reminds me of the confusion over whether Mark Lanegan sang the second verse on 'Making a Cross' from Desert Sessions 7&8. He didn't, it was Alain singing much lower than he did in the first verse.

Spark is awesome. Vocal is sometimes very similar to that of Lanegan. I've even checked if it wasn't him.

What a great CD Spark is. After I listen to it, I can't manage to find another group/album that reaches it... but, in a weird way.
