This Is DEVO

Fist City - Alberta - Uncontrollable Urge

Uncontrollable Urge (Devo)

In My Mind's Eye (var. 1)

Devo - Working in the Coal Mine (Remix)

Devo - Gut Feeling/Slap your Mammy (DanK d)

Dark, unknown, uneasy and shadows - then the phone rings... 
A track that is horror and suspense.

o/n the Hook

o/n The Hook

Jerkin' Back 'n' Forth (Inside my Shoe Version) (Devo Cover)

My all-synth version of the 1977 single by one of music's genuine trailblazers. He had a job. He wore a hat. He brought home the bacon. Nobody knew he was a Mongoloid.

Mongoloid (18-21 Nondisjunction Version) (Devo cover)

Fast and fabulous, smart, stylish and catchy electronic track with a powerful and slightly rough and dirty bass line. It's daring, bold, glamorous and powerful and reminds of escape, youth, night life and clubbing - the epitome of cool, fashion, and haute couture. This androgynous, sexy, ice cold, yet strong and powerful track is cutting edge, futuristic and high-tech.

Dangerous Youth

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 version of the 1985 hit. There’s a room where the light won’t find you.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Ozymandias Version) (Tears for Fears cover)

My all-synth version of the 1981 track. I’m the dandy highwayman who you’re too scared to mention.

Stand and Deliver (Proton Channel Version) (Adam and the Ants cover)

My all-synth version of the Captain’s 1982 hit. It went bang, I said shut up. It went bang, I said rap up. Well I’m aware that the guy must do his work, but the piledriver man drove me berserk.

Wot! (Oleic Version) (Captain Sensible cover)

My all-synth version of the 1985 track. You want to Diva a deduction you want to do what they do.

Perfect Way (Grav Assist Version) (Scritti Politti 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 version of the 1985 track. Hey, it was a challenge I set myself, and I like to do messed-up stuff. Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born...

Sally MacLennane (Distillate Version) (The Pogues 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)

Razed Structures

My all-synth version of Devo's 1981 track.

Today what does it take to do the super thing?
I'll tell you what it takes: a very simple thing
Iron nerves like the pilot of a jumbo jet
Or a girl on the go who hasn't got there yet

Magnetic trumpets blowing, synthetic saxophone
The evidence kept growing from below
Hidden motivations buried in the past
Still gives us strength for the super thing

The Super Thing (Blazar Version) (Devo cover)

Abstract Vibrations

My all-synth version of the 1981 hit. The guy in the picture is actually pretty cool, he's John Bardeen, one of the few people to have got two Nobel Prizes. He got them for the transistor (you're using millions of them right now) and superconductivity.

We're through being cool
Eliminate the ninnies and the twits
Going to bang some heads
Going to beat some butts
Time to show those evil spuds what's what
If you live in a small town
You might meet a dozen or two
Young alien types who step out
And dare to declare
Spank the pank who try to drive you nuts
Time to clean some house
Be a man or a mouse
Waste those who make it tough to get around
If you live in a big place
Many factions underground
Chase down mister hinky dink
So no trace can be found
Put the tape on erase
Rearrange a face
We always liked Picasso anyway
Mash 'em

Through Being Cool (Type II Superconductor Version) (DEVO cover)

My all-synth version of the 1980 classic.

Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it

Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good

When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets away
Until they whip it

I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good

Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it

Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good

Whip It (Sonic Boom Version) (DEVO cover)

My all-synth version of the 1986 hit.

If you smell the smoke
You don't need to be told
What you got to do
Yet there's a certain breed
So very in between
They'd rather take a vote
Running short on time
Still they can't decide
But we already know
That we are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
What is really mine
Who's at the top of the pile
Where does he draw the line
Let them figure it out
Go on and step across
Just remind yourself
That we are here to go
When it grows too long
The tail wags the dog
The hand that bites gets fed
Troubled multiply
The crowd begins to cry
For some common sense
Let them all dig in
When the odds are no win
Head for the nearest door
'cause we are here to go
Go!

Here to Go (Superfluid Helium Version) (DEVO cover)

Whip It - Devo

Also done in a hurry, but because I record in an apartment I will never be able to record correctly

Gates of Steel - Devo

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

Here to Go (Superfluid Helium Version) (DEVO cover)
