Love Will Tear Us Apart

This week I am working on another Joy Division cover version. This time it is the brilliant "Love Will Tear Us Apart". Recording of the track has gone really well with all the rhythm and instruments recorded and a vocal done. I am now, over the next couple of days, going to do the mixing. I have given the track an uplifting electronic feel whilst keeping to the original key elements of the track and have once again tried to re-create the original rhythm section. Hopefully the track will be posted on my iCompositions web page later in the week.

Here are the instruments used on "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

Boss DR550 Drum Machine
Roland Juno-D Synth
NI Pro53 Synth
Vanguard Synth
Rob Papen Predator Synth
Rob Papen Blue Synth
JP-8000 Synth

All recording done using Steinbergs Cubase

My other Joy Division cover version "She's Lost Control" has been gaining some stunning positive feedback which I am absolutely delighted with as I wanted to try and do justice to this truly excellent song without ripping apart the original arrangement. If you have n't heard the track yet then you can here

A good friend I have on the Myspace scene is Ian Price who records his own music under the names Future Daze and School Of Ambience. Ian asked if he could do a re-working of my new electronic track "The Glimmer Man" which he has now completed. The re-worked version of "The Glimmer Man" can be listened to here

My original recording of "The Glimmer Man" will also be uploaded to my sites shortly after I have made a few minor adjustments to effects on my vocals.
