Car Crash Flasback & More

Now I am nearing the end of the Joy Division Covers sessions I have returned to my own material for my new electronic album, but, before I get to that this is what has been happening this week:

My cover of Joy Divisions "Dead Souls" still needs a good vocal to finish it off. I may also have a mess around with the chorus synth sounds I have used. If i do manage to nail a decent vocal then I will settle for that.

I have also recorded a fair bit of a New Order cover version. The track I am doing is my all time favorite track of theirs "Bizarre Love Triangle". I have recorded most of the music on that one to and it is sounding excellent. No vocals recorded yet.

..... now back to my album. I have started work on another new track which is called "Car Crash Flashback". So far I have laid down some drum patterns (Once again I am using the Roland CR78 Drum Machine) and some synths and written the lyrics. The song is once again inspired by John Foxx. Here are the lyrics to the song, which may change!

I saw you standing there
By the broken chair
We dissolve the memories
In the fading light

I don't remember you
Why am I off the beaten track?
I can see a silhouette
It's a car crash flashback

We left the smoke filled room
It was early June
We walked and talked all night
In the fading light

I don't remember you
Why am I off the beaten track?
I can see a silhouette
It's a car crash flashback

I'm changing direction
I'm switching scene's

I don't remember you
Why am I off the beaten track?
I can see a silhouette
It's a car crash flashback

So all being well I will tidy up the last 2 cover versions and make serious progress with "Car Crash Flashback".
