She actually recorded it for a 2005 release but the company went bankrupt. So did V2 Records, scheduled to put it out in 2006. Still it sits. The idea of Mary Fahl recording a cover/interpretation of Dark Side of the Moon seemed so unbelievable, it wasn't confirmed until one of the people who worked with her on it discussed it on his blog. Now, somehow, the Torrent site "The Pirate Bay" has a torrent link to the album, or at least part of an early mix of it. http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4025097/Mary_Fahl_-_From_The_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon Some of her interpretations are just strange. On "Time," I didn't even recognize her voice until it was halfway through. She sounds more like Roger Waters than anything else she's done. "Money" - you will simply not believe it's her at all. I would give anything to read an interview with her about it, but she has been quiet for years. I have a Google Alert on her, which is how I found this, but nothing certain. I don't even know where she lives. Any Ectofolk who have more info, please post. Go get this while you can; it may never be officially released.

This is not the final track order... | | | | Enjoy! | | | | Blessed with a magnificent range, Mary Fahl is an expressive, emotional | | singer/songwriter who is best known for the three years she spent with | | the October Project. Unlike some of the female singer/songwriters who | | were popular in the 1990s, Fahl has never gone for a waifish, girlish | | approach } la Suzanne Vega, Natalie Imbruglia, or Jewel s her soaring | | vocals have always been big, robust, and full-bodied. In fact, Fahl has | | been quoted as saying that she likes female vocalists to sound like | | women instead of girls. Fahl, whose influences range from Judy Collins | | and Joni Mitchell to Sandy Denny, was raised in Rockland County, NY, and | | still lives in the northeastern United States. After graduating from | | high school, she studied medieval literature at McGill University and | | considering pursuing a career as an actress. But she ended up deciding | | that music, not acting, should be her focus. It was in the early '90s | | that Fahl became the lead singer for the October Project, an East Coast | | folk-rock/adult alternative outfit that recorded two poetic albums for | | Epic: its self-titled debut album of 1993 (which Peter Collins produced) | | and its 1995 sophomore effort, Falling Farther In. While the band wasn't | | huge, it did acquire a small but very enthusiastic following. | | Unfortunately, that wasn't enough for Epic, which dropped the October | | Project in 1996. Fans hoped that the band would resurface on another | | label, possibly an indie like Rykodisc or Rounder. But that didn't | | happen; not long after getting dropped by Epic, the October Project | | broke up. Fahl went on to pursue a solo career, and when she toured as a | | solo artist in the early 2000s, she performed a combination of new songs | | and October Project favorites (including "Bury My Lovely" and "Return to | | Me"). It wasn't until after the October Project's demise that she really | | put her songwriting talents to work; Fahl didn't do any writing for that | | band, although she co-wrote the four songs on her debut solo EP, Lenses | | of Contact. Produced by Jeffrey Lesser, Lenses of Contact came out on | | Rough Mix in 2001. Two years later, Fahl issued The Other Side of Time, | | marking her proper solo full-length debut. | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:04:08 -0400 From: "Jeffrey Burka" Subject: Re: Mary Fahl's missing tribute to Pink Floyd Strangely, I just popped the original _Dark Side_ into my CD player here at work and was about to press Play when I noticed I had a new e-mail from ecto. > Now, somehow, the Torrent site "The Pirate Bay" has a torrent > link to the album, or at least part of an early mix of it. Ooh. I've been hearing about this for a while. Can't do anything with a torrent here at work, but I'll have to hop on it when I get back to the house! jeff n.p.

Hi, As much as it pains me to look at this info as I WILL NOT BE IN THE AREA THIS WEEKEND (idolovemyjobidolovemyjobidolovemyjob ;), I want to make sure all the NYC-area ectophiles are aware that Veda Hille is coming around!! This Saturday, 4/26 she will be doing a "house concert" at the Connecticut Ballet studios in Stamford, CT (which is, of course, a very easy train ride from Grand Central). Info here: http://www.connecticutballet.com/ On Sunday, 4/27 she will be at Joe's Pub. http://www.joespub.com/component/option,com_shows/task,view/Itemid,40/id,3826 Go to the Joe's show especially, and bring friends. If she doesn't have a good showing there, they won't have her back. And it's really the best venue for her in NYC right now. - -- =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 21:24:09 +0200 From: Yngve Hauge Subject: Re: Mary Fahl's missing tribute to Pink Floyd Pe Onsdag 23 april 2008 , 20:54:00 skrev Michael Pearce: > This album was rumored for years.
