I got hooked on this song called "Fire of Love" from Gabriela Anders and I'm
pretty sure what you guys are talking about with this "Duck Sound, sort of
like a percussive Quack" is featured on this song and it friggin' hooks you.
I think I have heard it before with Robert Rich and or Steve Roach's Space
Music before. Anyhoo, the Anders song "Fire of Love" kicks it for me and
she does a really slow killer version of "Girl from Impanema" on that same
CD. Now if the rest of the CD could have been as solid as those two songs
then you'd find it on my best of 2002 list. Those tow songs in themselves
are definitely worht checking out.
