Cover version of the 1979 Telex song. This is the French language version because it's the only one I know - didn't even know there was an English language version till I went looking for the lyrics.

Cover of the early eighties Japan song, motivated by the Songcrafters.org Cityfest.
Deliberately meant to sound 'Eighties'. Decided to leave the last two minutes in as 12" extended remix.

Jazz & trance piece with vocal
Whisky Ran Dry

Well it's late in the evening
And the whisky ran dry
I'm still here writing this letter
With a tear in my eye
But the words don't come
And there's nothing
Nothing to do…

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]

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.
Lyrics:
Familiarity breeds contempt
I'm tired of everybody thinking they know me
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…

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic

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.

Comments on odh's stuff
I was hooked at the chunky intro riff. I like.
Hmmmm...i like the guitar take on it..clever.
dark ,but i liked it.
Wow, 16 years ago. Sounds pretty good now!
yep ... this is all good !!! Really enjoyed this one
Nice. Very original. And slightly eerie. I dig!
Fun song and an excellent cover. I love your voice.
Really nice.
I dig it.
Love!
Awesome cover, man!
!!! Great version !!!
Pumping!
top notch vocals...nice cover!
I never heard the original but whatever, this treatment is truly excellent. Full of excitement and substance.
Octopus meet xporal on a Hawkwind base! it's been a while since i heard the original but your cover just brought back the memories!
Cool tune man! Dig it.
Fabulous build! Great tension!
Whoosh! Yeah!
An innovative cover of an amazing song to say the least! ... favorited!
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...
