I got tired of playing by the rules. (The album concept was using only portable instruments which I could carry in one trip.)
This track uses every functional piece of gear I own at least once. In no particular order . . . TR-606, TB-303…
Late-stage demo of a Kraftwerk tribute upon which I'm currently working. Most of the tracks are solid at this point. See the second mix to hear what 12 hours of mixing and production did to it.
So I am searching for Kraftwerk inspired tunes and hit play, not looking at the artist,... player launches,.. I KNOW THIS! What a pleasant surprise 😀. Your friend Binary R ❤️
Madame Fortune seems to enjoy spinning that wheel of hers. It's tough to keep up sometimes. As Gilda always used to say, "it's always something."
Executed entirely upon the Korg DW-6000 and Yamaha CS1x.
I like here how certain elements of the track seem to weave in and out of sync with the main tempo of the song. It gives the track this precarious balance, like somebody standing still while riding on a unicycle.
Why is it that when I want to start over and listen to this track from the beginning that it always starts from where I left off, even if I go listen to another track, even another album, this makes no sense. Araghhh!! grp
You sound like Bowie in the beginning of this track. This is very interesting listening while playing games. Did you crack your voice on purpose??? love, grp
I'm so confused, but I just woke up but I'm only hearing 15 syllables here, what am I missing, is this a different form. This is G here, if you hadn't guessed.
I'm always amazed by the sounds you artists can create. Great transition into the body of the song. Are lyrics soon to follow? (Not that it needs them... This is beautifully arranged)
The very beginning of an idea for a Philip Glass tribute. If things continued along in this manner to their predictable end, Mr. Glass could very well sue me. Not to worry. I have plans to take it in a different direction. Stay tuned throughout…
This is the first time in nearly seven yrs that I've listened to Evan and Elle again. I actually listened to all of the tracks. I was surprised that I enjoyed them more than ever. I think I was angry (more than I could admit or be aware of, HA) 7 yrs ago I think, in particular, the idea of taking an entire month to create this album was blowing my mind and annoying me (but I think I was VERY well behaved and considerate regardless) especially considering everything else that was happening in our lives. So a funny observation I have is that I thought I was the Evan of your life but obviously I was the Elle since that's the female, and I AM known as some version of elle in other places around the world of the web. And just for fun I'm not making this a private comment so if anyone else reads it they can wonder. I suppose you can make it private. I have NO clue!
Have been listening all day,.. great while working. Excellent track and looking forward to hearing the rest of the CD when when it's done at the end of the month. Thank you posting!
@oldrottenhead:
You can DO the bump, but I would imagine that this is not the popular song to which to do it. I'd suggest pressing the heart-with-the-little-green-plus-sign button (as did I). And listen 50 times. Yup, that ought to do it. :)
Well, I play this in Fokker 7-limit Just Intonation on the piano and I didn't attempt to try to sing as high as Robert. So that makes the vocals hard to nail right there. And I played it over many times the past 3 days and my voice got worn out…
Nobody can follow Plant, especially on this one, so why even try? I ought to dare my local classic rock station to play this version and tell them I'll stop listening if they won't do it. Heh heh. That'll fix 'em, won't it?
I dig the improv at the end; it makes me think that perhaps I should do my own "New Age" style cover of Stairway. Hmmm.
Here's the Who classic Regged a little.....I was practising this at full volume then realised the window was open so a bit of an impromptu concert going on in the street which would have sounded ok for the main but i'm not so sure the backing…
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…
I just got Logic Pro X today. This track is the result of my efforts to learn how to use it. It's also the first time I've gotten the guitar and bass out of the closet since I recorded 8-Bit Time Machine.
Very nice. I quite enjoy the progression of moods in this track. It begins sounding as if it's a balls-out rock anthem. I kept waiting for the screamy vocal which never appeared and instead the tune rewarded me with the nice electric piano part brought to the fore. :)
More like a cover of the bauhaus cover of Bowie's song.
Recorded last night in under two hours from starting programming the drums to posting. Recorded for songcrafters.org's Bowie Fest.
Your mention of Bauhaus covering this sent me to YouTube to find a scary young shirtless Peter Murphy singing this. Now that took five seconds off my life, I tell ya.
Um, never mind. Nice cover.
Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, ‘cause I want you with me.
Take your time, but hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, for a warm memoria
Memoria [x3]
Come to…
crux
i heard my darling snarling
and our little stomachs churning

some kind of verbal warning
but i found out in the morning
as the cardboard moon was waning
i heard the pitter-patter

I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
My first thought, honestly, was, oh boy, someone's messing with Jimi again . . . then I pressed play. This one is done with reverence, my friends. Excellent cover. Dig.
" "Jabberwocky"

All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub…

I like this a lot, and I love the concept.

@G-Guest: A reply hefted into the past by six years: Just wait until you reach track 80.
Ah Someone else who is fed up of the usual mainstream dross. Hope you find what you are looking for.
I like here how certain elements of the track seem to weave in and out of sync with the main tempo of the song. It gives the track this precarious balance, like somebody standing still while riding on a unicycle.
I like the melodic progressions of this. The colorful 'Arpy' synthesizers have an Ed Van Fleet feel to them.
I wonder who SHE is? I can think of a couple ppl, only one is not me...
OK I get it, just refresh the entire browser tab.

Brilliant~~ Love G

I wish I could understand the first couple lines of this.
FAR OUT MAN!!!
That last comment was me, by the way.

This should definitely be grown further

Hi, this is great like all the influences (kraftwerk, vangelis, Jarre + Tangerine Dream) without actually sounding like any of them. Fantastic piece!!

Creepy. o.O But I like it. :)

Hey, this sounds like The Who, Reg. Oh slap my face with a pickle! It IS The Who. It's called a cover. Silly me. Nice "Regging." :)
Ouch. I bumped my head against my monitor while bobbing it in time to the opening riff.
Oh, hahahaha! Genius. ". . . complete with sound effects . . ."
Like the crunchy drums. Box or samples? Also dig the LFO-modulated filter cutoff bass. (At least that's what I think it is!)
Catchy!
Very nice. I quite enjoy the progression of moods in this track. It begins sounding as if it's a balls-out rock anthem. I kept waiting for the screamy vocal which never appeared and instead the tune rewarded me with the nice electric piano part brought to the fore. :)
Interesting take on a classic Zep chestnut. :)

Heh heh. Great "misheard" lyrics. Of course, I always insisted upon mishearing "memoria" as "mammary, uh!" ;)
Hilarious.
Awesome lyrics. I need to give this another listen soon!
I really like the bit about 1:50. The vocal reminds me a bit of Bowie and early Gabriel.
Ya had me with the first lick. Nice. I love this song and this is a great cover of it. :)
My first thought, honestly, was, oh boy, someone's messing with Jimi again . . . then I pressed play. This one is done with reverence, my friends. Excellent cover. Dig.
Nice nouveau-psychedelic dub, a suitable accompaniment to this strange little poem I've always loved. :)
@slugg: Heh heh. I see what do did there. Thanks for listening!
