I met Cait McWhir when she was lead in SF's Haunted by Waters and Land of the Blind played with them on tour. I am pretty picky about vocals, being an ecto-eclectic first rate singer myself and I was struck by her combo of Celtic (she's from Ireland) and Middle Eastern-Indian flavors. We have stayed friends in SF since I moved here and she sings back up for me on my solo goth flavored upcoming CD, as well as both of us have performed together in many projects. I adore her and cannot recommend a better singer to share with Ecto. (and a good person also!) I loved her project after Haunted, Samara's Edge (only one album) and convinced her to put it up on CD Baby just recently, where it's been selling great. Here is the link to her work with Samsara and a review I wrote for her page. Dreamy but edgy world trance trip hop with strong music and top notch female vocals ala Dead Can Dance-Delirium-Vos. Please give her a listen. http://cdbaby.com/cd/samsarasedge * Excellently produced dreamy sexy trance dance with top notch femme vocals! Samsaras Edge This amazing duo out of famous San Francisco World band Haunted by Waters, slide into new territory, reminding me of Babel, the dance duo created from ashes of The Thomson Twins. Like Babel, these sexy driving low end dance beats are hard to resist, but Cait McWhirs Clear pure vocal tones go way beyond ordinary Trance-Dance-World! Fans of Dead Can Dance, Delirium, Mortal Coil & Vos will be happy to own this entrancing disc. Timeless trance layered into dream like states as exotic ethnic sounds overlaid by the sweet clear tones of Cait McWhirs Middle Eastern yet Celtic tinged haunting vocals. The Prog-Rock guitar touches lift this CD out of the average programming and into edgy creation forces. Like the Celtic faerie girl surrounded by trolls, Cait sings her way out of the darkness with strong uplifting lyrics; when you fall-you find yourself. Delightful mix of dark and light, with touches of up-tempo hipster dance groove on some songs, SF styling at its best! San Francisco poet Juan Domingo adds a Latin feel with his Street Shaman lyrics ala John Trudell with the dry desert Native sexiness of a Robbie Robertson chant on a couple tracks. McWhirs magically tinged words of hope float over exotic dance pulses spiced with brown sugar & curry & showcase her breathy octave sliding style Fantastic! This CD is great for those that love something beautiful and interesting, featuring eclectic female vocals. Cait's parther David Hannibals music is just as strong as Cait's vocals, both light and dark, an Urban Shaman. I can highly recommend this to lovers of excellent female singers, rare indeed, but rarer still is Cait McWhirs haunting combination of Celtic - Indian feels. She is a Pomegranate sitting on a misty green knoll, to be found & waiting to be opened, rich deep red jewels inside.
