John Foxx Cover

Decided to have a quite week on the music front, in theory any way!

I fully intended to get back to my own album this week, however, another cover version has surfaced, well two actually! Firstly I have recorded a track called "He's A Lquid" which is a cover version of a track recorded by John Foxx on his album "Metamatic". It has come out very well and is very similar in sound to John's original version. I have sent an e-mail to the guy that looks after John's website to try and get permission to upload the cover on to my web pages.

I have used the following instruments on "He's A Liquid"

Roland CR78 Drum Machine
NI Pro53 Synth
Superwave Pro Synth
Novation Bass Station
Vanguard Synth

I have also recorded a fair chunk of an OMD track "Almost". This is one of my all time favourite tracks of OMD's and is a track that appeared on their debut album in 1980. Not done any mixing or vocals and I'm at the stage of messing about with the arrangement. Hopefully this can develop in to a really good cover version.

My New Order cover versions have gone down a treat it would seem with excellent feedback being received.

Some work has been done on my new album with a new vocal recorded for the track "The Glimmer Man" as I was n't too happy with the original vocal on it. So today I am recording the final version of that track and also doing the extended version to.

I am tidying up the loose ends on the 5 tracks recorded so far then it is on with a couple of new tracks. The title "Smoke Screen" mentioned in one of my previous blogs has developed in to a song, well lyrics written any way, just have to come up with one more verse then it is then a case of starting to come up with ideas on the music front for that one.
