Bought a new bass guitar and wanted to try it out, so made this last night. Gotta say the bass parts were easy, the guitar took ages to get right though. Now my fingers are sore.
Cover of the frankly mental 1968 Velvets song I Heard Her Call My Name.
It's a fairly straight cover except for two things. I wanted to bring in some of the feel of Suicide's Rocket USA, also I swapped out the lead guitar part from the original…

More Original song than cover, I think.
A re-imagining of the AC/DC story.

As suggested by Haylie in the Songcrafters Suggestfest.
Always been a seminal song for me (i.e. the Soft Cell version). Great to have the chance to cover it.
Thanks Haylie

I've done a Depeche Mode song before but wouldn't have thought of doing this one. Actually the words for this are poignant at the moment because I have a 4 month old daughter…

Did this back in 2009.
Before me and Jim actually met each other...
The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.

Track #3 from the "Someone Else's Hell" album.

Familiarity breeds contempt

It's time for a change of pace my friend
A new scene to set on fire again

First track I produced on my DAW...just tryin' to get the feel of thing at the time (no manual...well...a manual, but it's in Japanese...so same thing). Anyway, it's pretty simple...programmed a drum track, threw down a fretless dub line...threw…

I wish I could do quiet songs. Can't do it, everyone always ends up loud. It's a skill you obviously have though, Jim, this is just dreamy, I feel like lazy summer is already here...
Cover of the Joy Division classic, with a little drum'n'bass thrown into the mix
This version from September 2010
The youtube version is my original recording going back to 1997.
Thanks for the comments everyone. You're right,this is done with love and respect, Joy Division are one of my big influences, especially going to university Manchester (actually Salford) in the Eighties.
It's a cover of the Boston song, More than a Feeling. In a sort of euphoric house style. Which isn't my normal style by any means.
It's not a song which has been a big part of my life, I heard it in the Men Who Stare at Goats film and could…

Comments on odh's stuff
very fun!
gasoline is better
And another ....
Great cover....
Excellent version.
Just Rock the Hell on, Dude! Great job. Thanks for helping to keep the psychedelic sixties alive.
Nice one!
Masterful version!
That does sound good
Yes :)
Nice version! Takes me back to staggering drunkenly around the student union bar...
It's a northern soul song originally, good version.
:)
:) used to have this, good version.
:)
:) nice
In response to your rhetorical question, not mad at all. ;) I'm glad you did it.
Really good, don't know the song but enjoyed the listen.
Excellent....
Just a brilliant cover of a song that is an Adam & The Antz hidden gem
Comments made by odh
I enjoyed it. Like the bass and the subtle building on the arrangement. Not at all boring.
Really pleased I came across your stuff. You're my new favorite band...
I love the vibe and intensity. This is right up my 'street'.
Pink Floyd, Jan Hammer and Ennio Morricone - there's a supergroup I'd pay to see. Big sounds here, nice production
Something of the Dylan about it. Great mellow feel.
My kind of song. I think you're voice is good without the screaming too, has a kind a fragility which appeals. Good stuff...
Zombie, please, if you're offereing...
Nice pluckin'
Sehr gut, mag ich. Wicked
Great singing, nice cover
Lovely sounding instrument. Could use a flute accompaniment.
Moving piece. The shear weight of personal tragedy is overwheling and your music somehow seems to connect with it.
Beautiful
You've got a brilliant voice, very expressive. Loving the alt-country feel to your stuff.

New version uploaded. Fewer nits
Thanks for the comments everyone. I've got a better mixed version at home which I'm going to swap out for this one when I get a chance...
