As most of you know, on "Slope" there are two versions of this track. I edited the two voices together (DS and NK). They sing it with very different metric and timing and "making them fit" was hard and challenging....but great fun! Hope you'll appreciate it.

  • Hi again Brad. You are absolutely right, point taken!

  • .....perfect sinc gave a live (ish) feel to it. After interminable hours trying, I felt that I couldn't make it anymore in sinc with the equiptment at my disposal (at present in my local PCWORLD, NERO7 is 54 pound sterlings!) For the images I use WMM which is free and the rest I do with my little keabord. (hardly professional!) Again, thanx for your comment and encouragement, it means a lot to me. Take care mate.

  • Hi Brad and thank you for your comment. Obviously and absolutely the credid goes completely to Steve Jansen for this beautiful song, I hope that I didn't give the impression of wanting some credit for myself, that would really horrify me! In fact I often think that SJ doesn't get the full credit that he deserves. I edited the two voices "by hand" (so to speak) as I work with a program called NERO7 which is extremely limited from that point of view but I thought that the non....(follows)

  • .....Can imagine, that takes time. Anyway, thank you again for your encouragement and compliments, it really means a lot to me. peace. Montecristo

  • another sylvian gem. I'd love to see a mix of the track exit/delete if possible, that's one of my favorite tracks, and I'd be curious to see what you can do with that one.

  • Hey thanx a bunch again! And not just for the compliments but also cos' you made me aware of an artist and a track that I didn't know. You are absolutely right, is a very beautiful song. I would love to try and make my own version but, it will take time, you see, I work with very ancient equipment and do everything by hand and in this type of remix I generally edit the vox word by word so that I can "sit it" on my bass & drums then after that I work on structure and arrangement, as you.....

  • great....:))

  • This is a freaking unbelievable remix. I love both versions. I love Sylvian's voice and Nina's fairy voice perfectly matches David's voice.

  • The duet work's beautifully... I love it better than the solos

  • this is an EXCELLENT song !!!!

  • Nice work my friend...beautiful mix of the two voices and a great respect of the original!

    Thanks again!

  • So sublime Doctor

  • Absolutely brilliant. Wish I could actually get a copy of this for IPod use. Great work - well done and thanks for sharing

  • Very nice!

    I tried it once myself, but I just sort of matched both complete verses... It didn't improve the originals.

    As much as I'm a David Sylvian fan I would have loved to hear a bit more Nina.

    And BIG thanks for Steve for 'introducing' me to Nina, I really love her solo albums.

  • Splendido davvero ... complimenti !!

  • NICE ! I love the pastoral feel to the whole thing !
