I was just singing "The Falling of a Living One" to myself today. I'll have this ordered as soon as I get a new bank account opened.

Wow. Just amazing. I wish you place more information on what gears and applications you used to get the sounds together. It's professionally made and can easily beat other amateurs who just place mics in front of them with a recording software.

Good Heavens! I just realized I never gave you my 2 cents on your EP.

The Watcher:
The cello in this one made me so envious. Like, goddammit it's so crisp and clear. Not to mention the song itself is gorgeous. The quality is a big step up from your home recorded version. Also the vocals are a lot cleaner. Not much to say except that I listen to this one quite a bit.

The Falling of a living One:
I've seriously considered covering this one, but I just don't know how I could bring my own flair to it. It's kinda the same problem with most of dave's songs. They are just right the way they are. The xylophone solo is great, and the shorter intro works better for me. Cello kicks ass in here also. Definitely liked how it got more aggressive as the song progressed. Probably my all time favorite by you.

Woman In Flight:
The talking is strange at first. But upon listening the next few times, it grew on me. It really gives it a more intimate quality. The ambient noises: people walking, foot steps. They really give it an atmospheric effect. The flutes are the perfect touch. Mixed beautifully. The cello and violin harmonized along with the dark piano are awesome.

Someday:
I'm not sure if that's an organ or an e-bow in the beginning but it fits perfectly. I really identify with the lyrics on this one. About 2 minutes in, there are some eerie background noises. I can't tell if its just a violin lightly scrapping it's strings, but it's mixed far enough in the background to not be abrasive. Anywho, beautiful as usual. All of these tunes have a commonality to them. Perhaps it's your minimalist approach of building up and adding harmonies as the song progresses, but an entire album of songs like this would be superb shtuff.

Selective Sight:
The picked strings are a nice touch and they segue well into the song. This one reminds me of Someday with the guitar riff. Again, I am jealous that you got this high a quality of string players to play on your EP. Simply beautiful.


I kinda wish Summer Circles was on here, but I guess that one can wait for the full album :wink:
Is there a place online I can pay for this?

So do you still have hard copies (CDs) available? I think I'm definitely wanting one.

Sorry, yes, I do! On my MySpace (myspace.com/patmcinnis) I layed out a way in which you can purchase a copy. If you have problems, you can message me here and I can help you. Thank you!

I lost my debit card the other day. One is supposed to be in the mail. My order will come right after that. I have thoroughly enjoyed the digital copy you offered up here.
