Where We Are At & Where We Are Going

I'm a bit behind with my updates so to bring things up to date I have completed the single and extended arrangements for the Yazoo cover of "Only You". These can be heard via the links below:

Gary Hunter - Only You (Single Arrangement)

Gary Hunter - Only You (GH Extended Arrangement)

I have had probably my most positive feedback on "Only You" which is pleasing as I do think on the vocal side it is my best effort to date.

I have just finished off a cover of Gary Numan's track "Complex" off his album "The Pleasure Principle" and that can be heard on my myspace page and via iCompositions in high quality here

I started "Complex" a year ago but abandoned it as I could not get a good enough vocal done but returned to it recently and finished off the music and managed to do a pretty good vocal on a song which is very difficult to sing.

I am also putting the finishing touches to another David Bowie cover "Warszawa" a track I really do like which is on his classic album "Low". I am hoping to get the finished version of that done by next weekend.

The covers album "As It Is When It Was" is complete and I am now going back to some of the tracks I did n't finish off or scrapped with a view to doing a 2 CD edition of the CD. The revised final track listing for "As It Is When It Was" is below:

Blue Monday (Long Version)
Me I Disconnect from You
Europe Endless (GH Single Arrangement)
Too Pieces
She's Lost Control (GH Electronic Mix)
Cars
Gordon's Gin (GH Extended Arrangement)
Neon Lights
Goodbye 70's
Space Oddity (GH Space Age Synthetic Mix)
Living On The Ceiling
Only You
Love Will Tear Us Apart (New Vocal Mix)

The second CD will feature tracks, as mentioned, that were worked on during the sessions for "As It Is When It Was" and also alternative mixes of some of the tracks off that album. So far this is what will be included:


Blue Monday (GH Radio Mix)
Europe Endless (Full Version)
Don't Go
Don't Go (GH Re-Invented Mix)
Complex
Warszawa
I Nearly Married A Human
Space Oddity (Original Long Version)

Hopefully I will include the following tracks to If I can do vocals I am happy with:

Please Push No More
He's A Liquid
Trans Europe Express

Once that is complete then it is going to be full steam ahead on my album "Systematic" with some work done on the album over the last week or so. A potential new song, well lyrics done for a potential new song.

As mentioned you can listen to "Only You" and "Complex" on my myspace page to via this link:
