Accent - "Gold Mine" (Take 6 cover)

[Desheep]

When do we all get a follow-up track?

[strad43]

@Desheep I'm predicting a late March/early April release...

[theraydavis]

Brilliant! Great work, fellas! Spot on, as the Brits would say, eh James? This is a wonderful demonstration of how this amazing technology can be used to bring people together.

[Wivanunu]

What?? lipsync? hahaha!!! 

[bshopman]

Awesome job, all. Always been a Take 6 fan, hope to do some of this myself at some point! Is there another in the works??

[AndrewKesler]

@bshopman You betcha!

[buboat]

wow!  This is so freaking amazing! You all are awesome!

[wasp2020]

Watching this again...I come back to it every day!

[Writahman]

I must say I'm extremely hard to impress. This is an excellent cover!

[KidArtistiX]

hahahaha Preeeetty Goooood Gentlemen :)

I'd like to see you guys take on a Steely Dan arrangement like "Peg" "Hey Nineteen" or "Deacon Blues" if you do that I will bow before your acapella throne.

[strad43]

@KidArtistiX Peg would be awesome!

[jbcraipeau]

@strad43 Steely Dan is tight ! =)

[NoaOno]

Why do I have a feeling of that the guy rightmost is British, and the dude next to him is Swedish?

[strad43]

@NoaOno Ooohh, so close!

[NoaOno]

@strad43 After checking out which one of those men you are, I am now guessing that you are French, you definitely are, the man on your left is Romanian, next one is Swedish, and the one leftmost is Estonian. Now correct me!

[AndrewKesler]

@NoaOno Estonian? haha I dated a girl from there once, didn't look anything like Danny tho (probably for the best)

[strad43]

@NoaOno The answer is in the video description :)

[daniscool99]

@NoaOno I'm far left and I'm half Chinese, quarter German, and a quarter Irish... from Canada. Estonia was close though ;)

[Bashanvibe]

nice!!! I though it was take 6 for a sec!!! until i herd some of the changes!!!good music i back!!!

[lizziefromrio]

fantastic! i'm a huge take 6 fan and have seen them live several times. regards from rio de janeiro

lizzie bravo

[raphaelbrj]

Man... this is EPIC!!!

[Bimluva72]

Excellent job guys!! As an avid Take6 enthusiast I must say I am impressed but I only have question, what program and/or software did you use? Final cut pro, iMovie, Adobe, audition, what?!

[strad43]

@Bimluva72 We used a variety of programs to record our individual tracks, but I edited and mixed all of the audio in Pro Tools. Andrew edited the video in Final Cut Pro.

[Stonehawk]

God. No. You guys are definitely NOT gay, but I can only imagine that you're HUGE chick magnets O_O; holy hell. Because I feel like if I was female I'd be in full swoon.

[luci461]

Adorei !!!!!!!!!!!! De arrepiar !!!!!!

[dazzarg]

Amazing guys! Struggling to find the difference between this and the original! Looking forward to more :)

[geiale]

Congrats guys. People like you make the difference. Keep on! (Brazil)

[jarbon5]

This was exceptional! Great job guys:)

[Stonehawk]

Holy crap. That was fabulous. Faving.

[Tonyjava]

Amazing !

[bluephoenixwhiz]

An honor listening to that, WoW you guys are  incredible

[GrillerMaster]

I am not worthy!! Great job, guys!!

[Bigalray94]

great job guys, is love to do something like this one day

[quintosI]

luv it, WOW !!!!!!!!!

[eddiecousinsjr]

I actually thought you were miming. Amazing!!!!

[becoruthia]

MAN that's a nice cover - subscribed immediately! Hope for more updates soon.

[daniscool99]

the one on the left is soooooo cute!!!! omg marry me <3

[Kaugee]

Hehe, is it just a coincidence that Jean-Baptiste is also wearing glasses, just as the guy (whose name I can't remember right now) on the album does?! :P

Awesome all the way!

[GrooveCatchers]

@Kaugee It was a coincidence...but I think Andrew made it cool placing me at the very same place ;)

[QuidditchWiz]

Amazing! It's hard to find a good quality one by Take 6 to listen to, but this one is equally as good :). T H A N K Y O U :D

[superheroman04]

great work! fantastic cover of a challenging song with tight harmonies! particularly love the bass high 'bop' at 2:20 hahahaha

[geauxtger]

guys, fantastic. Performed this chart in college and know first hand how tough that piece is... you guys are killing it.... hope you keep recording... you are terrific.

[bbstenor419]

that was BADASS!

[Rayvontae]

Has Take 6 seen this? I'm sure that they would be floored by how AWESOME this is.

[concertoldham]

i can't even express how unbelievable this is. awesome work boys

[lapreciosa852010]

WOW! So this is wonderful!!! I grew up listening to Take 6 and if I didn't listen closing enough I would have thought it was them!!! I totally enjoy the fact that you did this virtually and how u used the idea of their album cover for your video. I'm so excited about this. MORE MORE MORE!!!!

[CrisMultitrack]

BRAVI!! :)

[lullebror]

Do Setembro next!

[jbcraipeau]

@lullebror that could be sweet !! especially the a cappella break !! =)

[mau1054]

Excelent, It's a perfect harmony and the best cover of this song,

Thanks a lot.

[Dutchhomepage]

Still looking for words to describe how stunning this was, but I couldn't find them! :)

[MrPippo1964]

De mieux en mieux, Jean!

J'ai le suspect qu'il y a ta supervision sur cette performance.

J'ai vu un concert des Swingle Singers qui font une version hautaine de Libertango et de Soul Bossanova... Si tu avais quelque minute libre... bien évidemment tout seul...!?!

ciao

nb: j'ai fait un incroyable effort à rappeler mon "médiocre francais scolaire"....!!!!

[MusicalEnthusiast]

I like parts, but others were kind of busy/muddled.. would have like to hear some of the lines clearer at times.. perhaps more panning, not sure, but 6 was a bit much for my ears to hear clearly...

[TheThx1138]

This video just proves that the best will eventually gravitate towards each other. I follow most of you closely because you are THE BEST. The spirit of Gene Puerling and Take 6 resonates in your music. You should all be very proud of your artistic accomplishments.

[daniscool99]

@TheThx1138 Thank you :)

[gabeklavun]

Nice job guys!

[sblazen]

Great!! Thanks for the excellent post! 

[FriPilot]

Wonderful job guys! Thanks!

Fri

[SugarbabyLA]

Chills throughout the whole thing, all of you guys are phanomenal! And Andrew your editing skills are amazing, I can only hope to be as great as you one day. I love how you highlighted each guy when they had a solo.

[ProudGoluBoy]

The best gay choir I ever heard.

[AndrewKesler]

@ProudGoluBoy I don't think any of us are gay, and it really wouldn't matter if we were. Music doesn't have a sexual preference.

[daniscool99]

@AndrewKesler If anyone's seen my pokemon video you know I have to be gay, right?

[lookingfortim]

You guys have taken online music collaboration to a new level of goodness. I'm looking forward to more creative work from you guys... perhaps also your own original tunes as well? Good luck!

[torosax]

Love this, guys!!!

[SWMOY]

wow...nice one lads....

[jibcraip]

@SWMOY Thanks butho !!

[Sabre2552]

This... Is amazing. A+ job, gentlemen!

[sonixnight3500]

Wow, this is amazing!!! Such perfect pitch and much more!!!

[EmmaInCandyland]

C'est magnifique!

[strad43]

Hidden videos!!

[jibcraip]

@strad43 hehehe nice find !

[rhodesy1971]

Wow! Perfect performance! This is my favorite take 6 song. How did you find each other? How did you synchronize? Keep up the great work.

[jibcraip]

@rhodesy1971 I know Simon from hi-lo's website since some years now. I randomly met James at a Take 6 concert in London in 2008, Andrew/Danny via barbershop multitrack on youtube and Evan through youtube/facebook/Take 6 fan base !! I only met James and Andrew in person !!!

[daniscool99]

@jibcraip That story is so much cooler than Rendezvous' "we all went to school together and then ran into the other in a stairwell" story lol

[AgFish86Zip90]

WOW! I've waited a long time for a cover version of this song. Great job y'all! :-)

[PastorKeithron]

I found only one thing wrong with this vid... I AM NOT SINGING IN IT!!!! THis is HOT!!! It is the best remake of this song I've every heard. It is on point note for note. AND THE BASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude is killing and hitting every note.. I just wish you all would have done it full out.. full length. It would have been worth it! I see a new thing about to happen on FB with groups making vides and selling songs and just doing it online! This was great.. I need more characters to type! ha

[PastorKeithron]

@PastorKeithron I need to find some singing buddies... I have to get my wife to do it... and it is cool but...I'm just saying....LOL

[tobybennett111]

Andrew looks like Simon from The Inbetweeners.

[arayo13]

BRAVO! sans regarder la vidéo, on dirait les vrais!!!!



[gigacrazy1]

thanks for that, guys - great work! early-eve'-greets from germany

[swinglefox]

nice one boys! some freakish moments of similarity to Take 6. Gotta admit though -- I missed hearing chorus 2/bridge! You teases you. If you're interested I have a stack of T6 lifts from days of yore. Would love to hear you do them. Drop me a line!

[eveecooper]

What a lovely bunch! xD This is amazing! Seriously! Those high notes were spot on!

[inceneritorepolitici]

Andrew Kesler was similar to GARY BARLOW when he was young!!! incredible!!! :-))))

[AndrewKesler]

@inceneritorepolitici Wow! Thank you, that is a very big compliment!

[Tujdosen]

AWESOME! :D

Isn't a male soprano known as a counter tenor?

[jbcraipeau]

@Tujdosen I wrote 'counter tenor' in the tags but sometimes high counter tenor are called soprano or sopranist...

[BarbeeAnne]

You guys are always the bright spot in my day!

[MafyuB]

Great job fellaz! You guys should do another one!

[trudbol]

Wow guys, just wow! This piece really showcases your talent and totally works with your voices. The visuals are great too. Well done!

[muckquomp]

Did you use sheet music from Take 6 to get these tight chords close to exact? I got know. If you not, one of you have a dam good ear.

[jbcraipeau]

@muckquomp I transcribed it by ear...I have this down on pdf if you want, let me know by private message ! Thanks

[Antdray]

Flawless! this is straight talent. do you have sheet music for this? I've been searching for it for the longest.

[jbcraipeau]

@Antdray PM me to get my transcription =)

[conradopaulino]

wow! amazing,

is so good that it is impossible to make a comment!

jazzy greetings from Brazil

[SuperCulby]

I LOVE THIS.

[lordianed]

Dat Bass

[MrRcar11]

i have seen take 6 twice and performed with them and opened for them, and this is one of my all time favorites. job well done. (coincidently I am in the midst of arranging this piece as well).

[Gaboubass]

Great job guys!!!! Keep on workin' on this project. Maybe a new acappella jazz sextet is born!! ;-)

[dillmon1]

phenomenal!

[llwitt]

I want you to know that today has been one of the worst days of my life, and I played your new song and all the grief just sort of melted away. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful gift of music!!

[AndrewKesler]

@llwitt Thank YOU for sharing that. Hearing something like that makes all of this totally worth it. It's a real pleasure!

[lesismorepro]

@jibcraip I encourage you to keep producing this awesome music!!! As a BIG Take 6 fan I appreciate your ability to reproduce their style as well as establish your own sound... you are truly INSPIRATIONAL my friend!!!

[7izaskun]

gran y brillante multitrack ,excelente !! :)

[fergyk0416]

This was VERY well done! Amazing!

[mastarule]

OMG!!!!!!!! LOVEITLOVEITLOVEITLOVEITLOVEIT­LOVEIT!!!!!!!!!!

[antsamikael]

Jizz in my pants.

[FacciaDiBambino]

I really liked the song, and the lighting you did. Also the Bass was pleasant.

[incrediboy2005]

Siete dei F-E-N-O-M-E-N-I-!!!

[SJRogers]

Thumbs up of you want them to do "Get Away Jordan"!!!!

[jibcraip]

@SJRogers hehe could be great to attempt this one !

[ordningsfrun]

@jibcraip I know that Simon already has as transcription of "Get Away, Jordan" so I'm already waiting for the Accent version of it :)

[jibcraip]

@ordningsfrun good point...

[danwright32]

this is phenomenal! great job on the collab and amazing performances guys!

[CarlyCarlyW]

Great collab.

YouTube sent me six notifications of this new video -- from each of your channels! :)

[t1e1rry]

I'm ... speechless. This is amazing.

[Leftyloveshuskies]

Very Nice

[fznbaritone]

Evan!!!! Holy crap - that F#4 in the middle of nowhere was spot on! No glide or weird attack - 'twas perfect! That was awesome you guys - really nice work - as always.

[strad43]

@fznbaritone Thanks!

[mancmuso1]

Watch out Take 6 you got some competition!

[MiguelPerezSenent]

Just great!!!

[maialu86]

amazing!!!

[cmorrowk]

Fantastic! Great job arranging this one.



[skemsen]

Dude from Denmark wants to turn attention to Swedish vocal group - "The Real Group" - they also do (a bit more "stiff") but still exellent acapella work.

[icedteaforever]

AWESOME! Absolutely phenomenal. You guys are fantastic.

[LeoRubensMusic]

thank you guys so much for this wonderful piece of art, i have absolutely no reason not to adore you guys after this now... i just keep hoping i can eventually have the opportunity to make something as nice as this.

[skemsen]

Just this night because of this video - I found these guys:

Somehow youtube wont let me post at comment with the link, but here is the name of their channel on UT: kain0326



[metallic219]

awesome!

[jamicals]

. . .goosey-bumps; awe; sincere appreciation. . . . .speechless, Thank You All !

[Aquageezer]

This is aural manna. Just beautiful. If anyone is interested in hearing Take 6, Hi-Los, 4 Freshmen etc. type harmony chord structures in a very different context, check out Simon Akesson's band Moon Safari. I started singing acapella at 12 years old in a Queens doo-wop group, and at 67 still sing. Simon is a friend and imo a vocal arranger par excellence!

[ssbaum]

Wow.

[ordningsfrun]

Great stuff, Simon (and gang). I'd love to hear a version of "Get away, Jordan"!

[AndrewKesler]

I swear if this video gets one more dislike....

[BenStanleyVlog]

Awesome stuff!

[jimbobaroobud]

Absolutely amazing. I bought that album 23 years ago. Still great stuff. Andrew, your video and audio editing has become SO professional. I'm very proud of ALL of you!

[AndrewKesler]

@jimbobaroobud Thanks! Glad to know we impressed a die-hard fan! Actually Evan did all the work on the audio! I just made it loud when he was done!

[jimbobaroobud]

@AndrewKesler Ya done good!

[musicaenlamayor]

VERY GOOD!!!!!!!! From Argentina.

[moviemantommy]

Good Stuff!

[BrighamHB]

Fantastic!

[bobchuseby]

I love this song! Good job, guys!

[jazzyjester]

WOWOWOWOW

AMAZING !!!

[3rdImpression]

Greatest multitrack collab I've ever seen. Ninety times nine hip hooray and great respect to all of you guys. Special thanks to Evan for the gorgeous bass performance! Keep on!

[strad43]

@3rdImpression Well, you're welcome!

[marque235]

This made me smile! I wanna sing with you guys~ (David's part)

[ForeverAlonePrick]

Am I the only one who thought that the bass (Evan) was WheezyWaiter at first glance? GREAT track BTW! :D

[strad43]

@ForeverAlonePrick Didn't know who that was until just now, but whoa...a little resemblance...

[dandelionmoodable]

Incroyable :) !

[pwebsers]

that was AWESOME!

[SongeLeReveur]

Monstrueux ! :D

[pjcoop]

My favourite Take 6 track... brilliantly done! Thanks.. do you have the transcription? - I would love to learn some of the parts!!

[pfrodigal]

LOVE IT!!!!

-Mitch

[jibcraip]

@pfrodigal Thanks dude ! Been a long time...hope you're doing well !

[iknowthatyouknow]

This is bonkers!!! Make sure Claude, Mark, and the rest of the 'crew' hears this... #amazingwork

[jibcraip]

@iknowthatyouknow I will let them know about this video :)

[janvandrunen]

Chapeau guys! Awesome! LIVE for sure!

[shrameet]

Be GREAT if you guys could eventually do some LIVE gigs together : )

[DMADave]

Great tune, well done! I also enjoyed how you highlighted the individual performers throughout the performance. Keep up the great work. I always look forward to your latest project.

[skemsen]

Oh, I would LOVE to see a "behind-the-scenes" or "how-we-made-this" follow-up-video on this project.

Did you have a transcript of the voicings or did you figure them out "just" by listening to the original recording by Take 6?

I am so impressed!

[jibcraip]

@skemsen I transcribed it by ears and the sheet is available. If you're interested, send me a PM. =) Thanks for your support !

[ToujoursLaMusique]

Flawless! Well done! xx

[skemsen]

Please also do "Little Drummer Boy"! :-)

[jrosejazz]
