This song is from our first demo tape with the band Vision back in 1994. Back then we didn’t have a lot of equipment. I remember we used a four channel reel to reel tape recorder from Teak which where synchronized to an Atari ST1040. We had to do a “US version” for a complication CD since the original version of the lyrics contained the F word.  Brings back a lot of memories…  

Vision - Little Man (US Version)

I composed this song in 1999 but it didn’t make the CD. It’s Just a simple demo using mostly a NordLead-II and some other analog sizers, recorded onto an Atari Falcon 030 with Steinberg audio interface. I think I used Yamaha REX50 and DigiTech 128 reverb/delay. No mastering, multiband or compressors. This is still a song which means a lot to me.

The Mourning After - Dawning Of Love

The very last song I made for The Mourning After. I just got a Model D and I had an idea of a really simple track… The girls wrote the great lyrics.  We split up before we even released it on a CD. :(

The Mourning After  - You Say I Say Go

This is sort of a Kraftwerk mega-remix which I made one summer night 2006. I was pretty bored so I put the knife in some Kraftwerk tracks, time stretched them to 129 bpm and added some of my own stuff. 
I talked to some DJ's and they use it when they need to have a toilet break... :)

Kraftwerk - Cutting Knife Mix by M Gladen (129bpm)

A little remix I made of the song Shock The Monkey by Peter Gabriel or maybe I should say remake. I only kept parts of the vocal track and added my own bits and pieces. Vote for me...

Peter Gabriel - Shock The Monkey (Cover Me Mix by M Gladén) 192

A pretty basic demo track I made in 2001 together with the guitarist in the band. Didn’t lead to anything but I kind of like it. 

The Mourning After - Hey Hey (Demo version)

A demo I made for Radiant. Not the best mix, sounds a bit confined especially the drums but it’s just an instrumental demo. 

Magnus Gladén  - The Bass (raw demo)

I made a song for a movie… I don’t know if it ever was made but still… Long time ago.  A lot of Behringer outboards back then and some HW sizers...

Movie Intro (Night Lights) By Magnus Gladén

Ok so I could not help it… I heard the song and I thought it sounded synthpop… but it is a Eurovision song. I’m not saying which song… have a guess. 

M Gladen Cover

I had a Jupiter-6 ones and I thought it got a bit of bad reputation.  It can sound very good and it’s very stable. This is just my demo song…I love synthpop and it sounds like it… 
In the right hands it can sound like anything you heard before.
The important thing is that it is only a JP6 making the sounds… If you like “cooler” sounds no problems for a JP6.


Roland Jupiter 6 Demo 20041017 01

I made a sound track to a very low budget movie but I had fun. Great synths but Behringer stuff when mixed. 

The Search - (Sound track by Magnus Gladén)

I wrote this song for a girl I saw in the bus to work in 1997… We were looking at each other but I didn’t dare to say anything to her. Pretty stupid lyrics but I was young. :) The song only made it to the demo stage. The rest of the band thought it was too synthpopish.


Magnus Gladén - All My Love

I didn’t have any inspiration one summer week during my vacation. I decided to do a cover of a Pet Shot Boy song. I had a goal to incorporate the USSR national anthem but I failed. :( Sorry all you Pet Shop Boys lovers for this sing a long cover... Please vote on my remix, follow the link and click "Gilla" :D http://hit.pantamera.nu/artister/demokid/familjen_-_panta_mera_vintage_wet_mix_by_demokid

Pet Shop Boys - Go West (Sing Along Mix by M Gladen)

This song is me in a nut shell… Lots of synth melodies but still something deeper. I wish I could write lyrics to the songs. 

Magnus Gladén - It's called love (rawdemo)

A demo I made some time ago, very synthpopish... but check out how it sounds reworked Radiant style...

Magnus Gladén - Clean Start (raw Demo)

This is an old demo… I think I did this in 2002. I tried to make a demo of the Roland Jupiter-8. Pretty cheesy but the JP8 is still a great sizer. :d

Roland Jupiter-8 Demo

“Ever one wants to shine” … That’s what the lovely girl at Microsoft said at one of our meetings. I forgot everything and wrote down the sentence. It’s a great chorus but I can’t write a good verse to the song. :)

Magnus Gladén - Every Wants To Shine

This is a remix I made for the Erasure Remix Contest by Remix Comps which ended 31 Dec 2014. I missed the deadline... by a year. :D A big thanks to Lars Blomstrand (Radiant) who helped me with mastering.  

Erasure - Sacred (Hansa Remix By Magnus Gladén)

This is a very old song. I think it was recorded in 1993 or 1994 using a 4-track Teak real to real tape recorder.  This song was actually used as a theme track for an information video about different ways to treat people with psychic illness… I wonder if it helped. ;)  Pretty noisy but it was recorded on tape. 

Vision - 05 - Stars

 Only You were a song we sometimes played live. This is recorded from the mixer desk during sound check at Kolingsborg/Sweden

The Mourning After - Only You (Live at sound check Kolingsborg)

This is a song we made back in 1995. We wanted to try to make an entire song with just one sizer… We didn’t make it. Most suff is made by a multi-tracked Yamaha CS10 (including the Korg VC-10 vocoder carrier) recorded using Atari Falcon. We also used an Akai 950 for drums, Korg M1, Mono/Poly…


Vision - Disconnect Me

A remix of Dream On by Depeche Mode my former band and I made. Our version is a bit more synthpopish then the original version. 

Depeche Mode - Dream On (A little love mix by The Mourning After)

Just a little demo I made back in 1997, recorded in my little home studio at 05.00 in the morning. The live vocals are pretty bad but that’s the way I usually presented my songs to TMA. This songs still means a lot to me…

Magnus Gladén - Lie To Me (demo 1997)

The last demo I made before I moved from my apartment... really. The moving guys actually stood and watched when I burned a CD with the track. Unfinished but it is something I like... I just can’t write lyrics anymore.  Almost everything is Roland Jupiter 8, Oberheim OB8 and Korg MS20 :D

Magnus Gladén - The other side of this (Raw demo)

Just a little demo I made in 2005. It’s a bit over the top but I like synthpop :D

Happy Tonight (UltraDemo)

I wrote this track in 2004… I never finished it so it is just a raw demo not properly mixed and no vocals. I used the Prophet~5 Rev 3.31, Minimoog Model D and Oberheim OB8 on this track.

Magnus Gladén - Last Day In Heven (raw demo)

A very cheesy demo I made back in 2005. Very cheesy. :D

Magnus Gladén - New Day Rising (raw Demo)

Just a demo of the Polivoks. All sounds are the Polivoks, and played live, no CV/Gate in this synth. :D

Polivoks - Demo (Formanta Radio Factory)

This is a song from 1993 which ended up on Vision's last demo tape. I wrote the lyrics and sang the song but we all made the music. We didn't have a whole lot of equipment. We used an Atari 1040 as a MIDI sequencer, Roland S10 sampler, Roland Juno-106, Korg PolySix, Cheetah MS-6, Casio CT630 and an Alesis D4. Everything recorded to a Teac 4-track Reel to reel tape recorder.

Vision - The Things I've Done

We made a cover called “Synthpoper” which was a song we sometimes played live. We made it just for fun since Thomas Rusiak made the song “Hiphopper” and it’s a cover on Punkrocker by Teddybears. The song is recorded at sound check before a gig at Kolingsborg (Stockholm/Sweden). The Vocoder (Korg VC-10) is played live.
This is our last gig as The Mourning After but we didn’t know it until 12 hours later. :(


The Mourning After - Synthpopper (Sound check @ Kolingsborg 2002)

This demo song is somewhat different what I usually write. Usually I write a more up-tempo track but this is darker. Still a lot of 1984-85:ish, clean with a lot of reverb. People have forgotten about the beauty of ambience.  Now I have to come up with lyrics. :(

Magnus Gladén - Darknova (demo)

A synth-pop demo I made, nothing special but something I really love making. Still needs producing, lyrics and mixing. 


Magnus Gladén - Here To Stay (demo)

I made a remix of the song PantaMera by the Swedish group Familjen. My mix is a bit wetter and 100% analog. :)
