Great for dancing! Might have to request that you play it dirty next time we perform at JG.

These are three selections using a tape-loop technique I performed in 1980 In Atlanta's Central City Park on a modified Oberheim TVS synthesizer. The technique was developed by Terry Riley and Pauline Oliveros and used on Robert Fripp and Brian Eno's first three albums together. This recording is exactly what I recorded live, with no added effects, dynamics, or post-production.

Antarctica (1980)

OB TVS Loops

I wrote this song for the one that got away. 
As I started penning it, my lyrics closely resembled 'Always Something There To Remind Me' by Naked Eyes.   
I reworked the lyrics and the title 'If I Could Rewind' magically came to me.

A song about rewinding & reliving a love affair.  There's some 80's music and nostalgia here. I still have not heard from Gary Numan.

If I Could Rewind, lyrics:

The night we met
You sang to my cassette 
Our kiss was magnetized
The sky turned electrified 

We died as we swayed 
Gary Numan on the stage
Neon lights fell on your face
We escaped that crowded place

If I could rewind
Play it a second time
I'd never hurt you 
Never-ever desert you
If I could rewind
Turn back our time
My memory loves you
It asks me about you all the time

There's no way back to you from here
I always remember that first night
There's no way back to you from here
I'll see you in the next life
See you in the next life 

If only I could rewind

Just got the 3rd Wave today and this is my first Patch, which starts as a recreation of a Prophet 5 Patch, but morphs into a 3 layer Pad.

As I continue digging though my old recordings, I found a song I wrote in 1979 and recorded on my Teac A-3440 4-track reel-to-reel tape deck. Punk was all the rage, and the Sex Pistols had just played their U.S. debut at Atlanta’s Great Southeast Music Hall two years earlier. Note that the refrain, “It hurts so good,” was two years before the hit single with a similar title. ©1979 by Geary Yelton
