oh yes!
its very good cover-almost Dan's vocal style but Dan's voice a bit deeper i guess

Turkingale rules!
 
Turkingale ! :lol::lol:

thanks for commenting. i'm so pleased to be considered with Dan's vocals ! i really do :)
unfortunately i have no vocal booth or something like that, i'm recording the vocals in a small room, so they are kinda roomy since all the walls are reflecting which i cannot cope with atm... :cry:
 
Sounds pretty cool, it must have taken a lot of time and effort to make that sound that good:).

Your vocals are quite similar to Dan's but Dan has a little bit darker vocals I think. Nothing beats Dan's vocals but your vocals sound great:).

Is there coming any other NG/Dan Swanö covers from you? It would be interesting to listen them too. How about Black Tears? :lol:
 
Yeah! Amazingly good! :headbang: Dreamreader is one of my NG favourites. And... why not, if you want to do other covers as well, I'm sure we'd like to hear them, at least I'd like :) Keep up the good work!

hi kheldar,
thanks for your nice comment ! it took about 4-5 days to put everything together, and Dan was so kind telling me how he dubs the chorus parts, that helped me a lot.
I am listening to Nightingale since the first album "The Breathing Shadow". Back in those days, when i listened to "Gypsy Eyes" for the first time, i was really fascinated by Dan's vocals, and i always tried to mimic his vocal style since it was something new and brilliant for someone like me.
I also recorded "Uncreation" which is also cool, and i added some clean vocal parts which are not present on the original one :) but i need some time to put everything together before posting here, i don't want to ruin the original gems. I need to be sure that everything is perfect :)
thanks again :)

Great job indeed and nice accent :D

I just wish you had picked another song from The Breathing Shadow cuz this one was re-recorded for the Nightfall Overture compilation and your cover is too similar to that version.
 
hello friends, i'm very pleased with your very encouraging comments :D

the main reason behind the cover; i was intending to mimic the song, say an exact copy. i'm trying to improve my mixing and mastering skills and i wanted to see if i can have the exact sound of the song.

but making a cover from the early produced album "The Breathing Shadow" could be a nice idea too if Dan lets me playing around with his songs :)

cheers everyone :D

:kickass::kickass::kickass:
 
Cool!! Always good for the ego when people cover my stuff!!!! I think I will revisit some of the TBS stuff again. There are a few undeveloped ideas on that one or songs that didn´t turn out anywhere near what I had in mind....but when u have a week to write record and mix...you kind of go with the flow ;)
