Description: My all-synth version of the 1985 hit. Possibly the tamest Mentals song ever, still catchy. Come up to my place, baby.

80's 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!

Live it Up (Half-Life Version) (Mental As Anything 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)

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!

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