female vocals?

[claws]

Who does the female vocals on "Dominion/Mother Russia"? Is it someone from the New York choir?

[MrChris]

Presumably.

[Andy TG]

I always thought it was "Patsy" - I could, of course, be wrong!

Have checked the information in the "Floodland" CD there is no mention of 'backing vocals' - so it could have just as easily be VON.

Remember Von did ALL the vocals on The Reptile House EP AFAIK

Knew You'd Be Pleased.....

[CellThree]

The New York choir was only on This Corrosion I thought. I think Andy is right, it was probably Fat Pat. There are a few women listed in the Floodland Thanks, I only know who Claire was. No idea of the rest.

[MrChris]

Don't quite believe that Patsy sang on the record myself. As a bass player who can't play very good bass, she certainly didn't play on it, so why as a non-singer would she sing on it? I wouldn't think Von did them either - sure he did the falsettos on Reptile House, and not too badly, but the backing vocals on Dominion sound completely different. I would guess perhaps a session muso, heavily squeezed through synths perhaps, but not a band member... Maybe we should ask him...

what do you mean? Is Von doing the female vocals?? If that is the case, he is truly a voice genius.

You were kinda right and then kinda wrong. I"ll forgive you, but only because of your avatar.

[MrChris]

Haha, thank you. We often start out with good intentions, and then lose confidence in ourselves along the way. I like your avatar too - is it an amoeba? It looks quite like my older brother.

[hallucienate]

my new avatar was gracefully lifted from: http://www.thesistersofmercy.com/gen/rrr9/rrr9.html

I liked it more than the other pics because it moves.

Don't be distracted by others, you could end up in detention.

im just having a good look at that official thingy sitey thing

its amazing what bands the sisters have been on the same bill with- theres some with the sex pistols

if only i was there.....

[hallucienate]

don't there browse too much. They might overshoot their traffic limit and be forced to pay more, and have to dip into the recording budget .

Then maybe not.

[ryan]
