I have been trying to find the story what happened. I assumed that the vocals on 'Radio KAOS' were done by her too. Is that not her on 'Home'.

I'm not sure but I think she died shortly after Darkside - I tried to read the notes on Radio but they're illegible

Nice! they look just like tracks! The only thing is you need some depth on the cross timbers - maybe a wood grain.

Ok I was completely wrong

Clare Torry is a British singer, best known for her soulfully evocative wordless vocals on Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky" on the 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon.

Torry has also performed as a session singer and live backing vocalist with Kevin Ayers, Olivia Newton-John, Shriekback, The Alan Parsons Project (for which she also sang lead vocal on one track), Procol Harum mainman Gary Brooker, Matthew Fisher, Cerrone, Culture Club (on their hit "The War Song"), Meat Loaf and Johnny Mercer. She reprised her Pink Floyd appearance during a few 1980s concerts with Roger Waters' band, and also contributed to Waters' 1986 soundtrack When the Wind Blows and to his 1987 album Radio K.A.O.S.. She sang with the David Gilmour-led Pink Floyd at a 1990 concert at Knebworth.

Clare Torry also sang the Dolly Parton song "Love Is Like A Butterfly" as the theme music to the 1970s Wendy Craig/Geoffrey Palmer sitcom Butterflies.

In 1975 Torry reportedly sang the lead female vocal part on Guys n' Dolls' hit "There's a Whole Lotta Loving", rather than any member of the actual group.[citation needed] Her vocals can also be heard singing Love to Love You Baby (originally by Donna Summer) during the opening scene of the cult BBC Play For Today production of Abigail's Party in 1977.

She sang in similar fashion to "The Great Gig In The Sky" on the track "The War Song" on Culture Club's Waking Up with the House on Fire album in 1984, as well as on the track "Yellowstone Park" on the Tangerine Dream album Le Parc in 1985. She is furthermore credited on the 1987 album En Dejlig Torsdag (English: A Lovely Thursday) by the Danish pop rock band TV-2, where she sings in similar fashion to "The Great Gig In The Sky" at the end of the tracks "Stjernen I Mit Liv" (English: "The Star in my Life") and "I Baronessens Seng" (English: "In the Bed of the Baroness").

In 2004, she sued Pink Floyd and EMI for songwriting royalties, on the basis that her contribution to "The Great Gig in the Sky" constituted co-authorship with keyboardist Richard Wright; originally, she was paid the standard flat fee of £30 for Sunday studio work. In 2005, a settlement was reached in the High Court in Torry's favour, although the terms of the settlement were not disclosed[1]. It is believed that future editions of the album will feature Torry's name in the credits, next to Wright's, for composing "The Great Gig in the Sky". The 2006 release of P*U*L*S*E, a Pink Floyd live DVD, shows the credit 'Wright/Vocal composition by Clare Torry' for the "Great Gig in the Sky" segment.

In February, 2006, Clare Torry released a CD Heaven in the Sky, a collection of her early pop tunes from the 60s and 70s.

Hmm well I'm screwed, I keep mine on all the time because my music sample folder is too large to fit on my laptop! and I'm constantly on it making music.

I believe this costs a lot of money (within the thousands)!

Great idea! I may have to do this very soon.

Wow! That's cool (not the fact that his flat burned, but you get what I mean)...

Sweet! So you use this as a basis for a few filters?

ronviers wrote: Hey Sam, wasn't trying to horn in on your filter concept – honest. I was just going to give you some filter tips and got sidetracked. So you can have bone worms to do with what you will. You at least can see how I like to do things. My approach to filter design is very unlike anyone else's – guaranteed to get you no EPs.

Wow thanx! I'll have a play on that later

Looks great. Better all the time. You know, and I'm must guessing here, but it seems more likely that they would stagger the joints.

Now where has Ahimsa got to

cool, carl! that last one rocks really well! for diversity, try a gravel roadbed. lots of train tracks in the u.s. sit on gravel beds (though i do really like that last one ).

Had a look around and found the following quote here. So it looks like you're in good shape.
I really like the new backgrounds.

"British practice was always to have the rail joints on both rails adjacent to each other, while North American practice is to stagger them."
