Voice- Anno Di Voce 12'' (+Bonus Tracks)

Apologies for the disappearance, ladies and gents, been off the radar for most of last week. To make up for it, here's a generous donation from a contributing member, which collects rare tracks and one 12'' by Canadian synthpop act Voice. There's little information to be found about the band (as it tends to be in matters like this), but otherwise, Voice featured contributions from Dwayne Goettel, who would join Skinny Puppy soon after their demise in 1986. Goettel also played keyboards in likeminded act Psyche, who would open for Skinny Puppy's earlier incarnations.

Otherwise, seven tracks can be found in the file below. Four hail from the band's 1985 Anno Di Voce 12'', released on Switch Records. The other three hail from an 1983 cassette release. An alternate version of "Lime" exists on this release, but the other two tracks are exclusive. The lineup on the cassette release was Malcolm Swann, Dwayne Goettel, Sherri Iwaschuk, and Jeff Sawatzky. Jeff would depart before the recording of the 12'' single.

Without any further ado, here's the info!

1. Lime
2. Business As Usual In Beirut
3. Wake Up Dreaming
4. I Am the Walrus [Beatles cover]

Bonus Tracks:

Hey Frankie,
I thought I included the covers...
http://s115.photobucket.com/albums/n314/uberbelly/Voice/

The three cassette songs were recorded in 1983...the band line-up was Malcolm Swann, Dwayne Goettel, Sherri Iwaschuk and me, Jeff Sawatzky.

I left the band before Anno di Voce was recorded.

I also have a couple of live bootlegs from the 1983 version of the band if you'd like. Voice often played with Darkroom...

Hey Frankie! hope all is well with you.
I just found this cd and thought you might like. It's a Vancouver band called HELLENKELLER, of which Darren Phillips was a member. I played with Darren in the Sarah McLachlan band. All info is in the file.
