The Human League - Don't You Want Me (Versus Edit) FREE DL

My all-synth version of the 1981 hit.

I know I let you tell me what to do
You were confident you knew best
Now things aren't working like you want them to
Your confidence is what I detest
You got me lookin' up high
You got me searchin' down low
You got me, I know you know
You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth
You told me, people like to suffer
You told me that's the way it is
You said that things were getting better
You said I should accept all this
You think it's funny
But what I say is true
The reason that I live like this
Is all because of you, you, you
You got me lookin' up high
You got me searchin' down low
You got me, I know you know
You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth
There is a thought that keeps me thinking
Like a stone inside my shoe
It is a vision reoccurring
A dirty window I can see you through
You think it's funny
But what I say is true
The reason that I live like this
Is all because of you, you, you
You got me lookin' up high
You got me searchin' down low
You got me, I know you know
You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth
You got me lookin' up high
You got me searchin' down low
You got me, I know you know
You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth

Free DL: Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World (Bruno Massa & Raffael Camargo Remix)

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)

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 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 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)

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

Soft Cell - Tainted Love

A-Ha - Take On Me (Robert Nickson Remix)

I worked on this one during the quarantine period of 2020...I bought some recording stuff to fill the time, and so this is my first completely solo recording since I was in college.

I chose this song because it was a new exciting listen for me, and I didn't have to plan ahead what I wanted to record this time; I could just start straight away. Also I've played this tune in a marching band for years so it became a bit of a joke that it would always be played...

It's "Enola Gay" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, a No.8 UK hit in 1980 for them. They used mostly transistor organs for the keyboard parts, so I tried to be authentic, but unlike them I used my ARP Odyssey for the synth lines, as it was a good opportunity.

The "real" drums are unfortunately programmed as I had no access to my drums, but everything else aside from the actual drum machine is played fully by hand. The chimes are a sample of me playing on one of my old recordings, as I didn't have them with me either...

Mastered by my friend Greg, of course ;)
