This is the first time I've heard one of your songs, Phil. Very, very, very nice! If you're okay with it, I'd love to cover this. I'll send you all my leadsheets in Lime format, if you want? Again, what a great sing-able song! and a masterful job in sequencing, as well!
I find the best music on this list! Applause to you all! -Andy English----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Muir" <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

They must've taken some time...Phil replied: the BV's were a conbination of Sarah and my good self. Sarahsang the top parts in the 3 part harmony, sarah also did the top BV in theovertaken mid section and the rest was, me. Actually the vocals didn't takethat long really. Think we did the bulk of that in a morning. Mike wrote: The only slightly disappointing thing, to me at least, was the lead vocal, a tad unconvincing methinks... But, hey, that was nothing to do with you! Phil replied: Am happy with Gordon's vocal however,I always enjoy hearing someone elses oppinion. Mike wrote: Aside from that, I say well done that man! Phil replied: thanks!

If you go to: http://www.philmuir.com/ And locate the flash player (you can quickly do that with Jaws by pressing the letter F twice quickly to locate the play button) then, you can listen to a track called "Overtaken By Love." It's the first song in the playlist. The song was written and sung by a friend of mine, Gordon clowrey. I played/arranged all of the instruments and did all of the drum programming, mixing mastering etc. The BV's were sung by myself and my wife, Sarah. Sarah came up with some of the really cool vocal arrangements for this particular tune and as usual, gave an honest critic of the mix. That's the cool thing about Sarah, she has great ears and really does know what's required and what should be left out. This was all tracked in Sonar. All of the BV's, mixing and mastering was done in Windows 7 Professional in SonarX64 with Superior Drummer 2.2.1 64bit, on a couple of PC's, both of which are core 2 duo. The fastest one is only 2.13GHZ and this one which is my laptop is 1.6GHZ. Just shows you what can be achieved on two fairly lolly systems, at least by today's standards. BTW, the snare that I used is the NirZ custom however, I used the centre hits, rather than the side ones as the side hits, would have been a bit too ringy for the tune. Enjoy!
