Pink Floyd - Echoes (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour)
Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
An echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And…

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Not predictable at all. Yes.
Great sound
Chris-thnx!
Colorful guitar sounds on five star mix!
cool and quite true
When I first heard it thought there was some time/pitch shifting going on. Cool sound.
I particularly enjoyed the poetry -- nicely done. Brilliant, really. Keep it real, bro!
Would make a great background track for a Sci-Fi flick.
Interesting composition -- dark colors, dreary, but in a pleasant way.
Great versh!

Excellent
Echoes of your spirit here, Chris. Very ingenious.
sweet sweet ambience
I nearly fell in the river when this one jumped out and bit me..... Great stuff'!!
Like this
sort of good sorta liking the ending words think they should start the piece too but they are good at the end.
Great sound
I love the bass work here...
Well done!

exquisite! The choral entrance is set up extremely well.
cool cover!!
this is what I'm talk about!! Rocking! So did your hands hurt hitting the metal?
nice work Richard!
Norm I really like it! Is there anyway I could you into sending me the TUBS for the main beat? I want to plagiarize it for a marimba part.
awesome! You are unleashing your inner Sonny Landreth!
whoa! The gong sounds HUGE!
excellent work - sad, sad blues.
wow you nail Elvis so well.
and I 2nd what Norm said - you have an amazing tonal control over your voice.
lovely
this just excellent - the production has great clarity too!
this is an excellent collaboration!
Thanks for doing this!!
hehe! excellent!
sounds like early Who - excellent!!
or the seventh son of a seventh son! My bass is looking at me :-)
I'm hating it too. Its just an infection I think. Nothing personal ;-)
great track - and yet another side to your voice.
this is a great idea well executed!
