Bandon Is Back With Gift - DREAMS REMIX!

[Bandon]

Hello Everyone:

It has been a while since I last posted. Found this and thought it might be nice to share the link with everyone. The Dreams Remix is approximately 19:27:29 into the show.

Enjoy!

[Bandon]

The track is closer to the 19:21:00 mark in the program. :nod:

[jwd]

Thanks for posting Bandon! I actually got it around the 20:21:00 mark and you can hear Stevie around the 20:24:00 mark. Sounds cool! :woohoo:

[HejiraNYC]

Can you say "Stevie's best studio vocal in, like, ten years??" Hullo? :wavey: And now I can tell with my own ears that it's Stevie doing the high falsetto parts. You go, grrrl! :lol:

Too bad the backing track SUCKS! :shrug: I have a feeling that it might chart in Europe, but unless it receives a MASSIVE rerub by someone with talent, I don't think it stands a chance in the States.

[GODDESS6]

thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~

[WizNicks]

WOW!
Great stuff! Thank you! I copied the site and found out that it is much easier if you download this file: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/shows/rpms/radio1/essmix.rpm and open it in Real Player, then you can get the full stream and navigate it easier (should be about 01:20:?? there)! Maybe anyone knows how to reocrd it? I tried it, but it didn't work! :shrug:

[ShangriLaTroubl]

She sounds amazing...esp on the high notes

I am attempting to record it, but am experiencing problems. I'm not sure if the Essential Mix playback is blocked somehow for recording. :confused: If I get it to work, I'll copy to MP3 and share.

I don't know why, but I could listen to the backing track all the time! I am anything but a techno/dance fan, but this one has something special (maybe because it is a Fleetwood Mac melody), but the version is great as it is now (especially her new vocals)!

Bandon
Yeah, you are probably right! And this wont be the track that they may release as a single! When they are going to release a single, it will have like 6 remixes, but at the moment this is my favorite (alse because I never heard another version)!

[dudden22]

Holy high notes. If she can sing like that again I want a new album right now.

[Bandon]

Great vocals! She obviously still has it in her (with a little enhancement provided by the studio engineers). On this remix, I think her vocals are similar to the TISL sound. :thumbsup:

[ELIUD]

DAMN she sounds great!! At first I thought the high notes were blended with someone else...but after that it, I was sure it was all her. Especially after the first chorus. Why does dance music have to take so long to get to the good stuff? Jeez just get to the song.

But I loved it.

[MacMan]

Wow!! Very impressive Ms. Nicks... I'm likin' it!!

[pwyll]

how the heck do you find the track???

It's driving me nuts!!

[krrrby]

All I gotta say is :shocked:
I'm SO getting this

[MacMan]

how the heck do you find the track???

It's driving me nuts!!

Click on "listen to the show" and it should automatically start playing... You'll see the time ticking by and at about 17:18 or approx. the track kicks in.

Can you get any music to play?

[pwyll]

Thanks,,,I found it at like 21.40. Very cool

Hope someone can record it!!

Hi everybody... I have managed to record it to MP3, if nobody else has managed to...

[BirdInFlight]

Hi all. I'm Gary. I've been a long time lurker and I figured now's the perfect time to say howdy. Thanks to the link I was able to snag the remix and get it converted. I'm no audio engineer; but hey it's better than nothing and it will hold us over until we get the official release.

My mama always said "When you go visit someone, you bring a little something." Well, here's my gift to you all. The Dreams remix.

(If you wanna get to the good stuff, Stevie starts singing at 3:30 into the clip.)

Enjoy.

[SpyNote]

I didn't think she could sing like that anymore. This is the most impressed I've been with her vocals in years. Isn't it amazing what this woman can still do when she isn't "resting on her laurels" (Lindsey's words) :nod:

[Hawkeye]

Is there anyway anyone could get JUST the song by itself and put it up for download.

[krrrby]

Hi everybody... I have managed to record it to MP3, if nobody else has managed to...

James

If anyone has it recorded on mp3 I'd be more than happy to host it on my website...just email it to blueradon@gmail.com

[jamesRainbowBoy]

Thanks Gary for putting it up so quickly, pipping me to the post...

Anyhow, here's my version available via Rapidshare:

Your version fades in and out nicely. Mine is just...start and stop. :rolleyes:

Good job, James.

[SpyNote]

Thank you Gary! :blob1:

I've also posted the track on my site (http://stevie-nicks.info/mp3/remixes/05_dreams_deep_dish.mp3).

[ontheEdgeof17]

Thanks everyone for sharing!

One of the best remixes of a Stevie song yet....right behind Seven Wonders. :nod:

Welcome to the Ledge Gary!!! :blob2:
You've made quite an entrance :cool: very cool

[SpyNote]

Notice how she sings "DREAMS OF loneliness" :)

[krrrby]

Yes I noticed that too..

By the by, I'm updating my website as we speak and I will also have a link to download this as well. I have it on repeat right now :blob2: :blob2: :blob2:

[Jennienygirl]

[goldie]

oh wow, this is just so great!!! Thanks so much! I am still studying it to figure out if it really really is her hitting those high notes.

[CreepingDeath]

Thanks for sharing this everybody!

Mmm. La Nicks sounds delish on those high notes. :cool:

[sparky]

At the Vegas shows I thought this was some chipmunk sped up version. I have a feeling her vocals still might be torqued up a tiny bit. BUT that falsetto voice is a wonder to behold. :eek:
Sent chills up my spine. How in the hell did they get her to do THAT ? Unbelievable. I haven't heard her pull a falsetto note on this song literally since the Tusk tour. 25 years ago. I am beyond impressed. :blob1:

Lets not forget about Sorcerer now :lol:

But this note is definitely higher then that

[nickslover2071]

Wow..Im loving this mix....I hope it has a Dub, Radio edit, etc...

Thanks Gary :thumbsup:

[jwd]

I HOPE it's released as a single, with like 5 or 6 different mixes. Makes for great summertime party music! YESSIR! :woohoo:

I can't see this mix doing well on the charts, if it is released. It has too many "slow" moments. That doesn't fair well for club play, I'm afraid.

That my friend, is why it needs to have 5 or 6 different mixes. I'm sure one would HIT! Don't ya think? :D I still think this version sounds great though.

Yup. It definately needs an edit with more umph in the music....prominent bass and drum tracks would be nice. :woohoo:

[GardenStateGirlie]

AHHH I love it!!! Thanks so much to everyone for hosting! :wavey: Makes me stoked to see her again in AC.

As far as the falsetto goes, she couldn't put that much wear and tear on her voice at this particular juncture, IMO--not for a concert tour where she's pretty much performing every other night. It gets to be far too much. In the studio after she's had a lot of time off, I can definitely see how they'd be able to get her to pull this off. Excellent. I really hope it's a hit and i'd love to see more mixes available.

[SpyNote]

She used her falsetto voice for those cool parts in Sorcerer. I'm pretty sure the same was done for this relatively new vocal. Even with the most sophisticated technology, I think it would be hard to recreate a voice as unique as Stevie's :)

It's not really that hard to sing in a falsetto. Most male lead singers today seem to rely on it to get to those higher parts... Thom Yorke of Radiohead and Chris Martin of Coldplay come to mind.

[GeminiCusp82]

Can you say "Stevie's best studio vocal in, like, ten years??" Hullo? :wavey: And now I can tell with my own ears that it's Stevie doing the high falsetto parts. You go, grrrl! :lol:

Too bad the backing track SUCKS! :shrug: I have a feeling that it might chart in Europe, but unless it receives a MASSIVE rerub by someone with talent, I don't think it stands a chance in the States.

But you have to remember that the original song Dreams only had a few notes lol...the music in the song well, in general is very repeatitive. I like it a lot ... :]

This will be HUGE in the clubs... :blob2:

GO SPURS GO!

Well, of course. But never on this song. She ditched the high notes on the Bella Donna tour and they never came back.

[Johnny Stew]

A very big thank you to Bandon, James, Gary and Daniel... you guys all rock!
Thanks for making this available to the rest of us.

I'm in Stevie-Freak heaven right now.... *sighs happily*
Hope she shows off a little bit of this range on her next album, too. :D

[SpyNote]

But you have to remember that the original song Dreams only had a few notes lol...the music in the song well, in general is very repeatitive. I like it a lot ... :]

But those key notes make the vocal memorable. :woohoo: Another example is "Planets of the Universe," which is sung pretty flat throughout until the last chorus when that higher range comes out unexpectedly. "You and I will simply disappear" is what really stands out.

She really only needs to do it a few times in a song to take the quality of the vocal to the next level. I also think in general that Stevie does her best work when some hard-ass, like Iovine, is pushing her to get her best vocal down, or when she feels like she has something to prove, which seems to happen usually only when she's collaborating with someone on some outside project.

[sparky]

It's not really that hard to sing in a falsetto. Most male lead singers today seem to rely on it to get to those higher parts... Thom Yorke of Radiohead and Chris Martin of Coldplay come to mind.

:shocked:

Well, depends on your voice. It happens to be the most fragile part of the voice. It is the first thing to go when you sing incorrectly or abuse your vocal chords. I don't know if those two guys are smoking, coking, and drinking they way Stevie did. Her falsetto was throttled by the end of 1980. Which, actually, isn't too bad, considering three tours and vast amounts of abuse. Amazing that it has reappeared.

[blinker12]

GO STEVIE! :blob1:
No, I don't think there's much studio trickery involved there. The tone of the vocals in the high parts sounds very natural, not overly processed. There may have been a little autotuning, but that's really our Stevie up there in that vocal range... WOW! I never would have thought she had it in her. I'm so happy to be proven wrong. :nod:
What has gotten into this woman lately? She's on a rampage!

[blinker12]

As far as the falsetto goes, she couldn't put that much wear and tear on her voice at this particular juncture, IMO--not for a concert tour where she's pretty much performing every other night.

It's still a bit of mystery to me, though, because if you're using your voice right, singing falsetto doesn't necessarily cause damage. One thing I notice about the remix is that she's singing in her "softer" voice, and I think it's easier to transition to a falsetto when you're singing softly. Meanwhile, she sings in more of a "belting" voice on her arena tours, probably because she feels it carries better through those larger spaces. And it's more of a struggle to transition to a falsetto in that mode.
Tha's my theory, anyway.

[dissention]

Can someone please explain to me why, if she can still sing this fabulously, she doesn't on the records and only teases us with a little bit here and there on the likes of Sorcerer and some power vocals on Everybody Finds Out? It boggles my fucking mind that if she can kick out an amazing vocal like this, why doesn't she do it more often? No one is expecting her to do it live, we all know she'd embarrass herself, but at least do it on your records, dear!

AMEN - I say sing it like you mean it. I often tire of the voice she sometimes uses on her recordings. I think it would not hurt her to kick it up a notch. Then again, she has made millions singing and I am typing on a message board about her singing :laugh:

Maybe she figures that we'll all bitch if she does the tunes live & doesn't go for the high notes like she did in the studio. ;)

[dissention]

*cough*Sorcerer*cough*

She had no qualms doing it on that track and if she put a bit more effort into tailoring the songs to suit her "stage voice" during the rehearsals (i.e. not dropping the keys to the point where the songs are utterly unrecognizable), I'd be less prone to bitchin'.

We are soooooo gonna hold you to that if it happens :laugh:

Less prone doesn't mean I'd stop.

I mean, good gawd, Stop Draggin' My Heart Around has been so butchered in the past few years that it's a miracle even us die-hards can recognize it. Her keys in her songs are dropped so loooooooooow that I can't deal. Thanksfully she's actually singing with some inflection and LIFE recently.

[Serrart]

Her voice is awesome, I'm really impressed! Thanks to all those who shared the mix. :thumbsup:

[sparky]

BTW, my birds love this...they go nuts when I play it. :woohoo:

[SapphireSister]

OMG I'm dying! This is unbelievably great. Better than I ever could have imagined. That's my high priestess. Sing it girl!!!!!! Much love to my girl for hitting those notes. I had to get up and dance. Holy fooking shite!!! :blob1: :blob1:
