@user-682333030: Glad you like it! I went retro-retro on it. Took an old synth song and made it like a 50's rock 'n' roll song.

hooray! I'm a big OMD fan so this should be good!

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!

Liquid Evolution (2024) Anthology CD2 Track 16

Tesla Girls (OMD 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 Gadgetised version of the 1980 track.

The chance to change has nearly gone
The alternative is only one
The final source of energy
Solar electricity

Electricity (240V RMS AC 50Hz Version) (OMD cover)

My all-synth version of the 1980 track.

Enola Gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday
Ah-ha words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied
These games you play they're going to end in more than tears some day
Ah-ha Enola Gay it shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's eight fifteen and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give, it's never going to fade away

Enola Gay (EMP-Hardened Version) (OMD cover)

My all-synth version of the 1991 hit. When I was doing this, the music itself said ‘go retro’.

You say that love will capture me
Not unless you give it free.
You're sailing on the seven seas
Sister Rae is on TV.
The light above, it shines so bright
That the F.B.I. won't sleep tonight
'Cause I'm so in awe of you
That I don't know what to do
And I'm sailing on the seven seas so blue.
Sick and tired, I don't know why
Skin and bones, touch the sky
Sex and lies, can't bring me down
'Cause I sold my soul
All over town.
People try to drag us down
So we learn to swim before we drown.

Sailing on the Seven Seas (Bermuda Triangle Version) (OMD 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.
