I agree that working together rather than in turn is probably best, I
wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a vocalist.

Singing is a lot more personal than playing or composing and I think
people will be far less likely to come forward and bare themselves.

I hope somone proves me wrong, of course!

That's great. I very nearly wrote about what kind of thing I'm
looking for in the original mail, but then decided not to. If I
specified the kind of sound I'm after, it would influence people and
give us less room to explore.

I'll share later, of course and maybe what I'm expecting and what you
intend to do will match up. Either way, it should be fun.
