Name: Computer Games (Vintage Synths Version) (Mi-Sex cover) by einstein's brain in Synth Pop
Duration: 4 min 10 s
Description: My version of the NZ band's 1979 hit. I was going to deliberately modernise it, but what's gorgeous about it is all about retro, so here's not so much a reproduction as a mimic version. The matrix grid don't care. On my last few tracks I've been playing around with stereo. This one shows it clearly.

Synth Pop

heyo, this is hopefully the last time I ever touch my track Heart Attack, which I first posted alllllll the way back in April of 2017. The second version was released on Feb 14 2019 and now, 5 years later, here we are!

Heart Attack III was made in UltraBox, a modification of BeepBox. It was first started in 2022 and only finalized a few days before upload. Ultrabox (and BeepBox) are browser-based music programs and so if you click through this link (pastelink.net/644j1vmo) you can find the source music file and poke around to your heart's content.

The album art was made in Aseprite (pixel art portion) and paint .NET (adding the hospital jpeg in the background), and visuals were made in corrscope (github.com/corrscope/corrscope) if you wish to view the YouTube version!

My version of the NZ band's 1979 hit. I was going to deliberately modernise it, but what's gorgeous about it is all about retro, so here's not so much a reproduction as a mimic version. The matrix grid don't care. On my last few tracks I've been playing around with stereo. This one shows it clearly.

Computer Games (Vintage Synths Version) (Mi-Sex cover)

My all-synth version of the almost all-synth 1986 hit. The difference is my synths cover decades and are ... weirder. (This was actually a pretty mainstream track for OMD - have a listen to something like Red Frame / White Light).

If You Leave (Fuschia Version) (OMD cover)

My all-synth of the all-synth multi-looped hit from 1985. A secret wish, the marrying of lies, today you find is true what common sense denies.

p:Machinery (Analytical Engine Version) (Propaganda cover)

My all-synth version of the 1985 hit. The first cut won't hurt at all.

Duel (Quasiperiodic Version) (Propaganda cover)

My all-synth cover of the 1990 track. I’d bolted through a closing door and I would never find myself felling bored.

Being Boring (Narcoleptic Version) (Pet Shop Boys cover)

My all-synth cover of the 1985 hit. I almost called it Dub Vulture - fans will know why. I like walking in the park when it gets late at night.

Subculture (3rd Harmonic Version) (New Order cover)

I decided to make a track using only the free LABS instruments from SpitfireAudio - so I picked the classic "Souvenir" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and made my own cover version. Enjoy!
I used the following LABS instruments:
- Scary Strings
- Strings
- Strings 2
- Amp Cello Quartet
- Choir
- Dulcimer
- Granular piano
- Chiffons piano
- Moon guitar
- Hand bells
plus a few percussion extras from Garageband!

Souvenir - OMD Cover

I make obnoxious synth covers of previously fine songs. All done with Korg Gadget.
