zero Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 I can't believe I haven't heard this before. Basically it's Western Canadian rural schoolchildren singing pop songs in a choir context but it's all really quite striking. Here's some more info on the Langley Schools Music Project. It's really quite achingly beautiful and almost the predecessor of the Polyphonic Spree. Space Oddity In My Room You're So Good To Me "The backing arrangement is astounding. Coupled with the earnest if lugubrious vocal performance you have a piece of art that I couldn't have conceived of, even with half of Colombia's finest export products in.me." --David.Bowie (on the Langley students' rendition of "Space.Oddity") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Yeah 76-77 but it was only ever released on vinyl to the students and their families. It has since been remastered and rereleased on CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
