70's Pop

John Lennon

Beatles

My version of John Lennon's 1973 single. I started with as close to the original as I can get, then start changing it. The result is all-synth, but actually better reflects the feel of the song. Make love, not war.

Mind Games (Nutopian Version) (John Lennon cover)

My all-synth version of the 1971 hit. With all of the strange attractors you like.

I Feel the Earth Move (Tectonic Version) (Carole King cover)

My all-synth version of the 11th song on the 1967 album. Nothing has changed, it's still the same.

Good Morning Good Morning (Retrograde Version) (The Beatles cover)

My all-synth version of the second-last track on the 1967 album. It's getting very near the end.

Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) (Tricuspid Version) (The Beatles cover)

My all-synth cover of the final song from the 1967 album. He didn't notice that the lights had changed.

A Day in the Life (Diurnal Version) (The Beatles cover)

Written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets and popularized by a cover by the Bobby Fuller Four, which went on to become a top-ten hit for the band in 1966 and was also recorded by the Clash in 1979. The 1966 version is the one I heard as a kid, and the 1979 version is the one I loved as a teen. :-)

I Fought the Law (Relativity Version) (Bobby Fuller Four / The Clash cover)

My all-synth version of the 1973 track from the dark side of the moon. And if you ask for a rise it's no surprise they're giving none away.

Money (Bitcoin Version) (Pink Floyd cover)

Brown Sugar (Trisaccharide Version) (Rolling Stones cover)

My all-synth cover of the song from the 1975 movie. It’s astounding / Time is fleeting / Madness takes it toll ...

The Time Warp (EPR Bridge Version) (Soundtrack cover)

My all-synth version of the 1971 hit. You may say I’m a dreamer.

Imagine (Stratospheric Version) (John Lennon cover)

My all-synth Gadgetised version of the 1968 track. When I hold you in my arms, and I feel my finger on your trigger; I know that nobody can do me no harm - because - happiness is a warm gun.

Happiness is a Warm Gun (Hwasong-14 Version)(Beatles cover)

My all-synth version of the famous ‘Book of the Dead’ 1966 song. My version is very experimental, but I think captures some of the feel. I did this really as a request for a friend. I'd tried a few times in the past and aborted it, but now my skills are up to what I wanted to do.

Turn off your mind relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.
Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving
So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning

Tomorrow Never Knows (Matrix Growth Version) (Beatles cover)

My all-synth version of the 1968 classic.

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be 
All right, all right, all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be 
All right, all right, all right
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be 
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right

Revolution (Rotational Inertia Version) (Beatles cover)

My all-synth version of the 1965 track.

[Verse 1]
There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

[Verse 2]
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

In My Life (Telomeric Version) (Beatles cover)

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

Mind Games (Nutopian Version) (John Lennon cover)
