Baggiesfaninessex Group: Members Posts: 682 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: May 06 2005, 15:07 Mike has worked with many female vocalists in the past. The finest are Sally Oldfield and Maggie Reilly in my opinion, although he has worked with many more. Which female vocalist would you like to see Mike work with in the future? (Please stick to those he hasn't worked with before) -------------- “A dog is not intelligent. Never trust an animal that's surprised by its own farts.” - Frank Skinner Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: May 06 2005, 15:32 Annie Haslam. The best female vocalist I can think of. She's no stranger to progressive, and she has even done a cover of "Moonlight Shadow" on one of her CDs. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Personally, I would love to hear Kate Bush work with Mike. -------------- “A dog is not intelligent. Never trust an animal that's surprised by its own farts.” - Frank Skinner Back to top

EeToN Group: Members Posts: 845 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: May 06 2005, 19:19 I'd love to hear more collaborations with Cara Dillon. I know Mike has worked with her before, but I've always felt that Man in the Rain doesn't fit her voice perfectly. Oh, and I almost forgot Stina Nordenstam. She has beatiful voice, too. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

That's interesting as I've always regarded 'Man in the Rain' as my favourite female fronted pop song track by Mike.   Out of interest, who do you think Mike could have used whose voice would be better suited? -------------- “A dog is not intelligent.

It's a good question. I don't know who would be more appropiate for MITR, but I feel Cara's voice a little too 'cold' there, I prefer her 'warmer' voice modulation on her own albums. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism.

My first choice would have been Kate Bush, but shes been mentioned already, by your good self i believe. Id have Anastasia, then after i might play her cd!!!!   -------------- Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Back to top

Can you recommend a particular album of Cara's? Excuse my ignorance, but I never realised that she had released any solo albums. I love her voice on MITR and if her solo material is even better, then it's got to be worth a listen   -------------- “A dog is not intelligent.

Anne in the Rain Group: Members Posts: 33 Joined: July 2004 Posted: May 23 2005, 16:16 She has released only two albums: "Cara Dillon" and "Sweet Liberty". 10 songs out of 11 on "Cara Dillon" and 5 songs out of 12 on "Sweet Liberty" are traditional. But with a modern twist. The albums are both very good and very well produced, they appeal even to people who don't like traditional music. My favorite songs are traditional "Bonny Bonny" and Cara's self-penned "Broken Bridges", both from "Sweet Liberty". Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: May 24 2005, 10:27 SIA She's an Aussie artist whose latest album is called 'Colour the small one', it's really beautifull. -------------- I hate getting up early.

mikex Group: Members Posts: 63 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Aug. 19 2005, 13:57 I think on a few of his slower tracks Lisa Gerrard would sound excellent. For those who are not so familiar, she has appeared on soundtracks such as Black Hawk Down, The Insider, The Gladiator and Whalerider and was once a part of a group called Dead Can Dance. She has also done a few solo projects. -------------- Anthropolologee, upstairs and inside a revelation is blinking well baffling! Back to top
