I was finally able to transfer it over...

It's a little bit over 10MB.

I've tried to send it to Ivan but his mailboxes bounce it, so...

If I have time I'll down sample it, but you can look for the 
lower sampled version Barry put up as well.

If I see anyone in the queue going for it, I'll bump you up in priority
... 

It's not bad; as usual the backing musicians do an excellent job, and
while it's more uptempo than the original, the strings aren't missed.

Mac's rendition of the chorus is good -- he sings a different melody,
but it works.

However, the verses are dropped an octave, and if you are among those
that didn't like that on the LIPA version of 'Never Stop', you won't
like it here.  It doesn't sound right in basso profundo. It's a song
meant for keening, not crooning.

But it's well worth a listen.  Just wish he could have / would have done
it in the proper octave.

The best cover I've found in the ones I've listened to in waiting to
download this one has been by Grant Lee Buffalo.  I've always said that
'Mockingbirds' is a perfect Bunnymen song and wonder if Grant Lee was
influenced by Echo... even the lyrics are Bunny 
tinged.

- --Amy (watching _Blackhawk Down_ cos of Orlando Bloom... great actor,
quite a difference from Legolas in Lord of the Rings to Todd Blackburn)
