Description When Feter began his Woodstock Challenge, Patrick and I were here ... for the backstory ... go here: http://www.macjams.com/song/40886
... thank you Cat... we ask for just a taste and you gave us a 7 course feast.

Production Note: This is our guitarist "Outtaorbit"'s take on this tune and I am amazed.... thanks Patrick for a turn of the corner here. I do believe our guitarist "Orbit" took this tune to a new and wonderful place.

The mix was done to present layers of sound density to enhance the "mist" like feel of the track. Hopefully it will not induce vertigo. While the end dissolves in a rather "undramatic" way ... it was felt this was appropriate for the ambient feel of the track and we hope it does not disappoint.

We have had the fantastic experience of working with some of MJ's most active female vocalist and each time they have influenced our take on a tune and added so much more than we ever could have ask for... so sincere "hats off" to the talented female artist here ...

Mist
was on my ears all day ..such gem ..and yes Cat
is just another gem ..loved this bros ..hats of !!!

davisamerica said 193 days ago
hello feter
well thanks to for the advice and guidance throughout this tune's passage from concept to two versions ... we really rely on you my brother and you never disappoint .... peace and blessings to you our friend!

drakonis said 193 days ago
excellent work (in progress)
What a tease you are! So... this is a gorgeous song... parts feel very Pink Floyd-ish, lush guitars, perfect phrasing between the long slow part and the fast-sung part. My thoughts are that (1) this feels too restrained, like it wants to burst out near the end and really sweep us all away with a great build and a solid ending, but it does not, and (2) Myst's vox seem a bit muffled and not "in" with the rest of the recording. Great singing by both of you, and sweet guitar work and music writing. I would *love* to hear some more work go into this, it really deserves it!
ttfn,
Drakonis

davisamerica said 193 days ago
wow eduard
is spot on ... thanks

Mystified said 193 days ago
:)
Thank you for the invite to sing along to this!!
i'm glad you liked the improvised vox--I really like the way you put it all together!!
A beautiful song :)

davisamerica said 193 days ago

LunaTrick said 193 days ago
Tasty stuff!
Nicely written song - love the atmospheric use of various guitar sounds - and Mysti's great background vocals. Well done!

davisamerica said 193 days ago
right then daniel
thank you ... very much appreciated .. patrick really pulled the atmospheric blend around cat's vocals fairly well IMHO ... all three of us say "thanks"

Karmatoburn said 193 days ago
the mist
everything about this strikes me as brilliant. The scotish, friplike, david gilmore vocal, delicious. Hugely original. Mistified = beauteous vocal


davisamerica said 193 days ago
hello KTB
... wow ... thank you ...

davevan said 193 days ago
Outstanding
like feter says a real GEM, a Ruby me thinks very rare

davisamerica said 193 days ago
a ruby indeed
and her name is cat ... we loved the way mystified added another "instrument" thru her wonderful vocals ... was the capper ... thanks man.

biba_nova said 193 days ago
Nice work
Very celtic sounding

Bravo

davisamerica said 193 days ago
hi bryn
well u know about working with mystified .. lol .. cold and all was an amazing addition to this tune ... thanks for the listen man

echoroom said 193 days ago
Outsatanding
At the start, I thought this sounded like (good) U2, but you take it in a much more subtle direction. Both vocals are top notch, Mystis vox adding a gentle counterpart to the soulful main vocal. I just LOVE the guitar work on this - really well written and structured.

Just outstanding guys

steve

davisamerica said 193 days ago
hello echo!
great comments from you steve .. and yeah i am pretty much just digging mystified's vocals and patrick's guitar work too .. like "bud" has said ..."it's all in the casting"

lengold said 193 days ago
This is
such a beautiful song. I love the musical treatment you have given it and both vocals sound fantastic. Downloaded. Thanks.
Cheers
Len



davisamerica said 193 days ago

Micheal_Wark said 192 days ago
Wow!
Magnificent production! This is an aural treat to be sure...

Outtaorbit's guitar work is phenomenal herein.

The vocal work---both Jacks and Cat's---is beautiful. I am blown away...even a tad envious!

BRAVO AND ENCORE!

Outtaorbit said 192 days ago
thanks

Diviner said 192 days ago
Love all the elements to this track
everything sounds brilliant, its a really cool track. Very well composed esp like the sitar sound. Cat's vocal gives the track a very etheral feel. Lovely track, very impressed.

Mist
OH WOW - this is SO gorgeously beautiful. It turned out just sublimely wonderful. You guys must be thrilled! This is one of the most special songs I've heard on MJ, or anywhere for that matter. Really a treasure

davisamerica said 189 days ago

Confounded said 192 days ago
Mist
Your song writing is very good davis, Recording and mixings are good too and ofcourse not amatuer.

Very well done, thanks for sharing it.


davisamerica said 191 days ago
hello confounded
thank you for some very nice comments .. have listened to your "lullaby" and am now a huge fan of yours ...peace!

davisamerica2 said 192 days ago
Jack, Pat, Cat......
This was very nice. I've got to learn this, and be able to play it when the batteries in my CD wear out. Gonna down load now. Batteries are getting low. Terry

davisamerica said 191 days ago
lol Pearson
ya know .. they sell batteries .. thanks brother

davisamerica2 said 189 days ago
Batteries wear out.....
This song won't. I'm gonna get a bigger tip jar. Coffee drinkers and beer drinkers will appreciate this one. Thanks Jack.

dirigent said 192 days ago
Mist
Wonderful mix, a stunning and most beautiful track with an enchanting atmosphere. Great vocals!!!

davisamerica said 191 days ago
thank you andreas
great morning surprise seeing you here .. thanks for the listen ... Mystified is just an amazing talent and we were lucky she had time to have a go at this project

Go_Turtle_Go said 192 days ago
first off
beautiful picture! I have fallen in love with a true cherokee indian girl. and my feelings for her echoed in your song. Maybe this will be the song that reminds me of her the most. It has a Dire Straits feel to it, your calm execution of ideas is testimony of that. Vocals are crisp, a bit in the back, but mixed with madam Mystified lushes vocal stabs it does the job, very well! Glad to have found the time to listen to this. Thank you Jack for sharing this:-*)
Marc
ps; she is one of the reasons I have been away for some days;)

davisamerica said 191 days ago
hello marc
:-] ... i think you have a fantastic reason for not being here and i am pleased to hear the news .... all the best my brother and waving from the east with a smile... thanks for the listen marc!

bud said 192 days ago
What a knockout
Great collab - love the guitars and vocals - well placed drums - sitars and Mysti. Everything merges in the mist.

davisamerica said 191 days ago
so you said it..
"casting" ... and is true .. thanks kevin I really appreciate your input and support .. you are "the man"!

Reinholt56 said 191 days ago
Brilliant.....
This piece is, to me, instantly enjoyable.

For some (positive) reason it reminds me of a Tears for Fears arrangement, in many ways and I could hear them do this very easily.

It's an excellent piece and one that I'll listen to a good many more times before my ipod wears out.

Take care.

Paul

Outtaorbit said 191 days ago
everybody wants
to rule the world

Bob Rodgers said 191 days ago
Brilliant!
This is one of my favs of yours and I love the vocals, really great, just superb and the guitars sound so good! A real gem here, fantastic!!

davisamerica said 191 days ago
hey bob
thank you sir! i owe you!

guitapick said 191 days ago
Can't say much...
...except this is exceptional...everything about it. And, as a guitarist, I must tip my hat more than a few times to Outtaorbit...sent me to some very fine places...thanks...

Outtaorbit said 191 days ago
That my brother
coming from you is the best, in a long time
thx

guitapick said 191 days ago
You sound like...
...Jimi...but updated...he was my favorite...kudos


Outtaorbit said 188 days ago
thats way to much
thanks.... just hit a lick every now and again...really thanks

Fourth Window said 191 days ago
wow
very cool intro nice melody with me being irish it has such a celtic vibe I love it! good vocals very cool mix I like the bass, it sound so nice in the back ground

Outtaorbit said 191 days ago
thats what i told jack
thanks very much

dajama said 191 days ago
A wonderful track
The singing (from everybody involved!) is fantastic, and the mix is great. This does have a Pink Floydish vibe, amply helped by that terrific guitar swirling and washing around the mix. Deep bows, folks. You have created something magical. Nicely done. Peace.

davisamerica said 191 days ago
thanks david
i too am pretty pleased with the powerful addition Mystified added and as always knocked out by Patrick's abilities to soar .. and you are very kind... thanks for the comments and the listen

Vic Holman said 191 days ago
alright!!
the final cut. greatly fleshed out in arrangement and mix. on top of the vocals, the hendrix style reverse guitars is to dream for.

davisamerica said 191 days ago
lol vic
i am pretty sure Orbit's head will explode with glee at our comments ... Mystified was just the best to work with and made this tune work in a whole new direction

rustykangaroo said 190 days ago
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds !!!!!
its really great sounds like jimmy hendrix on guitar and george harrison on sitar!!!!! vocals and lyrics by david gilmour and some great adlib type singing of a siren calling you into the mist. good song with alot of great talent contributing. great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

davisamerica said 189 days ago
right then rusty
yeah ... there went orbits head .. poof.... thank you for the listen ... am really digging your stuff here as well ... thanks

rsorensen said 190 days ago
trippy
this is so cool. love the opening and all the atmosphere throughout. outstanding collab!

davisamerica said 189 days ago
so..
am gonna say thanks but really use this as a way to again tell you how cool your collab with michael2 turned out ... was a great track!!

LunaTrick said 190 days ago
Nice brooding piece
Love the vocals - your voice is so distinct Jack. You have tremendous poise in your work. Really enjoying it!

davisamerica said 189 days ago
hello daniel
... wow .. comments MUCH appreciated ... thank you!

Jarvoid said 190 days ago
Clannad meets
Rolf Harris meets Yes meets etc etc...A masterly and atmospheric piece ,song ,tune with many and varied nods to varying genres.The beginning reminds me of Rolfs' "Sunarise" without the clicksticks and then it segues into all sorts of generic twists and turns........oooh dear ,this is getting a bit Poncey......look it's a great song worthy of wider broadcast...........

Jarvoid

davisamerica said 189 days ago
lol "poncey"
now how did you know orbit's middle name?? thanks for taking the time to listen!

Bowman said 189 days ago
This...
has a quiet understated strength that I liked.
Well done.
Charlie

davisamerica said 189 days ago
hello charles
well thanks! just listened to "prairie" ... wow .. is a great track! thanks for the comments ... especially being ok with "understated" as we really did want an airy ..shifting sound scape ... very cool of u!

egobandit1 said 188 days ago
whew
what just happened greatness all around realy cool to have all this talent in one place thanks!!!!!!!!!

davisamerica said 188 days ago
hi tim

Moviz said 187 days ago

Lightman- said 186 days ago

davisamerica said 186 days ago
hello jakob!
very nice to see you again in chat ... and thaks alot for the listen ..mystified has a beauty of a voice no?

Heightened said 186 days ago
I'm not a good one to
judge celtic because ANYTHING celtic I love. Must be the Scotish/Irish blood trickling over. That being said this is awesome! Fantastic collaboration - bravo!

davisamerica said 186 days ago
right then H
whot is celtic anyway??? was gonna go with Polka .. but patrick said no ... thanks man .. much appreciated

paul f. page said 185 days ago
Such a...
...sublime recording/composition. You have orchestrated this lyric with such care and thoughtfulness. The effect is one that draws the listener into the depths of the music rather than just as a spectator. One of the very best tracks I've hear at MJ. Congratulations to you both on such a wonderful performance and recording.
Peace.
Paul

davisamerica said 185 days ago
hello paul
wow and wow .. have sent you a personal note .... thank you!

Ibstrat said 183 days ago
This really
is amazingly well done.Beautiful vocals and that guitar is just brilliant!

Outtaorbit said 181 days ago

richardhowardjones said 166 days ago

davisamerica said 165 days ago

Char said 152 days ago
I am amazed
at what can be found under Celtic. Beautiful, for so many reasons. Thank you to all.

davisamerica said 151 days ago
right then
thank you char .. very nice comments and thanks from us!

evolvweb said 103 days ago
How did I miss this?
Davis man this rocks! I don't know how I missed this but I love it!!! I know some people hate pop artist comparisons but this to the level and quality of Peter Gabriel mixed with some Pink Floyd.

This is my kind of music...wish I could have had a hand in it with you. Maybe next time.

I look forward to hearing more like this from ya!

Tobin

davisamerica said 102 days ago

KellyMarkSmith said 55 days ago
One Word (Wow.)
I was just fumbling through and I'm so glad I found this tune. It's very 1990's Pink Floyd in nature. Fabulous!

KS

davisamerica said 55 days ago
KS
... and wow right back at you. what a trip when an old tune gets a new listener. we had quiet a bit of fun on this. thanks alot for the listen!

SJB said 45 days ago
Wow
I can't believe I've only just found this after all these months. Amazing sound. The atmosphere is fantastic. I hear sitars on this which (bizarrely!) go with the Celtic feel perfectly.
nice job guys!
Steve

davisamerica said 44 days ago

MarkHolbrook said 10 days ago
