80's Pop

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

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

My all-synth version of the 1980 hit. Thanks to Seth71 for the hint. Everyone's feeling pretty.

You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) (Gyroscopic Version) (Dead or Alive cover)

What is Love? (Keytar Version) (Howard Jones 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 version of the 1979 track. Confusion in her eyes that says it all.

She's Lost Control (Purinergic Version) (Joy Division cover)

Two Tribes (MAD Version) (Frankie Goes To Hollywood 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 1984 hit. Jitterbug. JItterbug.

Wake Me Up Before You Go Go (Seretonin Version) (Wham! cover)

My all-synth version of the 1983 release. Every little thing the Reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark.

The Reflex (Autonomic Version) (Duran Duran 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 cover of the 1981 hit. Actually one of my favourite songs, I just love the crazy childish naivety.

If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too? (Moonbase Alpha Version) (Mental as Anything cover)

My all-synth version of the 1982 hit. For when your dreams fall apart at the seams.

My all-synth version of the 1984 hit. Why do we scream at each other?

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