Mary Fahl

For fans of October Project and Mary Fahl‘s solo project,you can check out her upcoming appearances here. It has been a long time since she released her debut album The Other Side of Time, followed by a track by track take of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon titled From The Dark Side Of The Moon. Mary has the vocal pipes made for the Gods .

Could October Project be the same without her? She defined what a ‘vampire kiss’ means when you have such a voice. Interview With The Vampire could have been the ticket the band needed in order to make it to the mainstream. But they instead used the lame Guns and Roses track which is actually a cover of a Rolling Stone original .

Mary Fahl’s kick ass take on a Pink Floyd Album:She is a Goddess!

Although this album is not necessarily Celtic , Mary Fahl possess a voice that crosses genres.She has a distinctive atmospheric vocals that can bring to mind images of medieval castles and haunted monasteries. Mary Fahl has the ‘it’.I am not a Pink Floyd fan and I would never even spend a buck on their album Dark Side of the Moon but upon hearing Mary Fahl’s involvement on the track by track take on each of the songs in this highly acclaimed old album ,you bet I could not keep my self from whooping. Forget the fact that this project doesn’t really stay true to the original(hell,Pink Floyd doesn’t really kick my ass ) or that some critics may find most of the track spacey or even ethereal or operatic, I don’t care. All I want to hear was her vocals. I was never disappointed upon hearing songs like ‘Money” and “Brain Damage’. It just proves that Mary Fahl can hack sounding soulful one moment and angelic the next.She has a very versatile voice. In a place where Lisa Gerrard, doesn’t allow her voice to go falsetto, Mary hacked her way into Sarah Brightman’s realm even if she is a pure contralto with a big cinematic voice. It seems that V2 records folded up even before this record was able to receive a mainstream release but it is OK. As long as there are bloggers out there who are like me. As long as Mary doesn’t give up recording then she can bet her five cents that I wont stop writing about her.
