Peter Gabriel sounds English.

If you really want a total lack of Transatlantic twang, try Dick Gaughan;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IbdZNvl_vM

or Christy Moore

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-z7M3FZv4E




the first link brings up a video that says it's Mark Knopfler - Why Eye Man.  is that actually Gaughan singing?  kind of sounds like Knopfler at least in places.

Wow..people actually click on links?? 


Yeah, well spotted Eagle-eyed Beagler, I dun copied da wrong link.

I never thought Asians (you know, ornamentals) were all that melodic.

Just to be pedantic..I give you 'tracks' not 'stems'. As I understand it, 'stems' have more than one instrument included, like a string section, a drum kit, or group of BGV's.

Mebee. We in the CHB have always referred to any "track" as a stem. Mebee we've/I've been misusing the term.

Why would you need to call a 'track' by another name? Fink abaht it...

But if I produce a string section using Kontakt where I play a chord with one hand and put it out to a colloborator in a single WAV file, is it a track or a stem?

Neither, it's a ''rubbish way of doing a string section''.

I was just thinking the other day, and almost started a thread, about songs that British singers can sing, but American singers can't.

For example ... only a guy with a British accent could sing Martha My Dear by The Beatles. Think about it ...

"I pulled the head off Elvis, filled Fred up to his pelvis, yaba daba do, the King is gone, and so are you."

I heard this Um-Air-I-Can sang this British sung TOON, might righteously*.












*It helped to have a Brit doing the backing vox and that it is actually an Um-Air-I-Can choon.
