You just sing the "ahh" part. Let me know if you are still confused and I'll try to help you through it.
thanks,
Brad
It's not solo'd though, it's buried down in the mix with the band. Both the linked tracks sound identical.

I've got both versions. Pm me and I'll email you the choir.
Prog out with your cog out.

My web guy might have made a mistake with the file names. Let me look into it. It was working but I had him update a file.
I just checked. You're right--both files are the same. Which is not what it should be. I'll get it straightened out.
thanks,
Brad

Well you are still more than welcome to participate by just finding a capable singer to record.

An update...
To date I've downloaded everything that everyone has sent me. We loaded it all up last night and I must say I'm impressed. Not only can everyone sing beautifully but as a complete choir it actually sounds pretty damn good. My bandmates thought I was a little crazy when I first suggested the idea. The guitarist/singer said "I don't think we need any more tracks in that song." I told him I was going to do it anyway and his response was "whatever." Now everyone is really excited and totally loves it. I wanted to recognize one submission that really stood out from the pack. That was the the track sent to me by Norman Nomad from Gearslutz. He really took some liberties and created some amazing harmonies. As we listened to the track we all just looked at each other in amazement. Rachel exclaimed: "THAT is now an important part of this song".
Thanks again to everyone who has contributed. You've exceeded our expectations and really helped create something that we've been dreaming about for a very long time.
I'm intending to mix very shortly, but I will continue to accept last minute submissions.
thanks,
Brad

I just wanted to give everyone an update that helped out my band by contributing vocal tracks for this song. The album is done and has been mastered. We're finishing up artwork, but in the meantime we've decided to make the complete album available online.
Here's the song some of you helped give life to:

It's also available here:

On behalf of my entire band, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of this wonderful journey we've been on the past year. This song wouldn't be what it is without the voices of everyone that took the time to send us some tracks. Thank you so much. I hope we've done your beautiful contributions justice.
Brad (and the rest of Plot Against Rachel)

I'll take that as a compliment.
Thanks!
I just found out from my bandmate that the MP3 track ends a little abruptly at 7:17. He's going to re-upload. It's only missing the last 8 or 10 seconds.
