Yazoo & New Album Update

I have had quite a busy week on the music front this week. First off did some adjustments with my Yazoo cover "Goodbye 70's" with a new mix of the vocals and a change in one of the lead synth sounds as I was n't happy with it. The track is now complete and I do like the mix now I have made those changes. Vocals are difficult to mix right but I am improving with the mixing technique of vocals.

The extended version I recorded of "Goodbye 70's" has obviously seen a change in the vocal mix and of course the change of one of the sounds used in the main synth hook. I have extended it further to and I think my extended arrangement works very well.

I have also started work on another Yazoo track "Don't Go" which is coming along nicely.

In the last 2 days I have returned to working on my new electronic album and have done some new vocal mixes of the tracks "A Face I Knew" and "The Glimmer Man" (Also the extended versions of those 2 songs to). Today I have been working on a totally new version of "I remember You" so it fits in better with the overall sound of the album and of course I have used the Roland CR78 Drum Machine on this version to. Even though I say it myself I do think "I Remember You" is a stunning song. The new version is sounding very strong to, very haunting and cold!

Tomorrow I am going to record all the tracks for the new version of "I Remember You" so I should have a fairly good mix of the new version tomorrow if everything goes to plan.

Update regards the tracks and where I am up to with them:

A Face I Knew (Finished)
Stranger In A Room (Finished)
The Glimmer Man (Finished)
Car Crash Flashback (Chorus Vocal To Do & Final Mix)
A Million Stars (Going To Re-Do The Vocal & Then Do Final Mix)
I Remember You (New Recording To Be Made This Weekend)
Smoke Screen (Lyrics Written & Rough Melody Outline - Still To Record)
Years Ago (Lyrics Written Only)
I Once Was A Machine (New Recording Of This Track Still To Be Done)

If I can get that lot done that is 9 tracks for the album, I would like to record 11 tracks for the album.
