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

Presumably.

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.....

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.

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...

If that is the case, he is truly a voice genius.Posted: 10 Oct 2003, 11:20

You were kinda right and then kinda wrong. I"ll forgive you, but only because of your avatar.MrChris wrote:Hooray, vindicated! Sort of...

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.

I liked it more than the other pics because it moves.
Don't be distracted by others, you could end up in detention.

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.
