Stephen 'Doc' Wallace – voice (pictured) |
RC: There was no particular plan behind this treatment of About to Die: I was at the 2001 Cropredy Festival when I found myself humming the song in this rhythm, and I used synths to sketch it out in mid-September to explore some new software – audio, not MIDI – on my PC.I liked Jane's backing voices, but not my own attempt at singing the lead, so the song was shelved. 'Doc' Wallace heard the abandoned version over a year later, and promptly contributed the present, passionate vocal, at the end of the session arranged for recording In The Wee Small Hours of Sixpence ... some stamina! It now makes me wish I'd recorded the backing with proper instruments ... |
