iTunes is no good.
After contacting Apple I got the files redownloaded and all is well. If anyone else has this issue just go Account Info on iTunes and it should show incomplete downloads even though other pages say you've downloaded it.
This song, well worth the wait!
Not only is it pleasant to listen to, but hearing Gillian's voice after 17 years is gratifying.
I had low expectations after reading the band said she's not good enough for Music Complete or live performances.
I am pleasantly surprised with Gillian's voice. It sounds just like the old O2 albums. I really like the chorus.
I don't really like the filter they point on her voice, was it too poor without it? I wonder.
It's a shame none of the edits have her voice unfiltered, I was expecting a raw vocal sample on one of them.
I'd like to hear it without any filter or effects. but either way I think it's safe to say her voice is good enough for at least 1 track on the next NO album, even if it is a small backing track.
As for the actual songs, here's my breakdown:
01 Saltmarine Remix, basically instrumental, not worth listening to.
02 FM Attack Remix, main song with vocals. even has a p. hook type guitar.
03 Lavigne Remix, vocals are sped up to sound like Lost Frequencies' Are You With Me. Not really worth listening to.
04 Re_Locate Remix, same as track 2 but more fluff and less substance, still nice though,
After this song I feel Gillian could do a whole new album, her voice is on point.
Plus we've seen Stephen has creative talents that go wasted
when you look at the remixes he's done compared to Music Complete that doesn't have any of the same sounds.
I love Gillian's voice and inflections.
She sort of cuts melodies short, and she sounds grounded and secured, not going all out. To me it speaks honesty and is more meaning than traditional vocals.
Anyway I want to ask, would you guys recommend any similar sounded artists?
Recommendations will be very appreciated.
Bernard sings similar to Gillian, it's interesting to hear the similarity as always.
