And now for something completely different: the source is - unlike my other cover songs - not disco or top-of-the-pops, though still from the last century: Fugazis alternative-punk-and-hardcore song "Waiting Room" had a lot of influence on me and the type of music I listened to back then. 
Also I played a bit with genres: I always loved latin-oriented sounds and rhythms, and when I started recording the choir's answers it inspired me to try and dive in.
This is the first (and hopefully noth the last) time I had support from my friend Andi; we both were members of the (near legendary) Noble Island Lovers (aka N.I.L.: https://soundcloud.com/welcomeidiot/sets/noble-island-lovers-n-i-l-a). The guitar solos in the middle part as well as in the outros are from him, and they are great! Couldn't have done without...

And if you want to hear more of this: have listen to the 2nd version of "Waiting Room" in a spacy Dub disguise: https://soundcloud.com/elem089/waiting-room-dub

Waiting Room / Sala De Espera (Fall '21/Rmx Spring '22)

This time something completely new and all by myself. And no vacals at all. In this series of crises I felt I need something to relax to.

Dubbing Crisis (April '22)

I arranged this to be performed live on December 17th, 2022 at JJ Jones' "Same Old Song" (see also https://soundcloud.com/elem089/stayin-alive-sos-live-set-23-07-2022) event at Munich's "Milla" club (https://www.milla-club.de). Love or hate the original, it was worth it, and the evening was just great! The band this time had 6 members. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z1-QveEPrU.

Last Christmas (SOS Live Set 17-12-2022)

Some time in 2021 I heard about this series of events ("Same Old Song" or "SOS"), where a set of musicians performed their versions of a single song for an entire evening. And when I learned that a "SOS" event was planned for "Stayin' Alive" (https://soundcloud.com/elem089/stayin-alive-summer-20), I knew I had to be there. When in 2022 live concerts where possible again I was invited to be part of the show. I re-arranged my version to be played live, then asked a bunch of friends to perform it with me. On July 23rd we finally hit the stage of Munich's "Milla" club (https://www.milla-club.de). And the evening was just great, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h16aYi6ez0w

Stayin Alive (SOS Live Set 23-07-2022)

May 2023 saw another "Same Old Song" (SOS) events (#31 to be exact) at Munich's Milla Club (see https://soundcloud.com/elem089/stayin-alive-sos-live-set-23-07-2022 and https://soundcloud.com/elem089/last-christmas-sos-live-set-17-12-2022). If you couldn't make it yet you missed something! This time 12 acts presented their interpretations of Madonna's Material Girl. Here's my go at it.
(BASS LMNT's interpretation was also caught on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-dVDgL6JzE)

Into The Black (Spring '23)

"Same Old Song" (SOS) goes on and on: on October 28, 2023 we made our next appearance at Munich's Finest "Milla Club" for SOS #32 (see https://soundcloud.com/elem089/sets/sos-same-old-song-live for the entire playlist). This time the club was packed as never before, and you really missed something! 14 acts presented their interpretations of KISS's epic hit "I Was Made For Loving You". Here's my go at it, quite close to the version we did live (video will hopefully be posted on YouTube soon!)

I Was Made For Loving You (SOS Live Set 28-10-2023)

One more Same-old-Song (SOS) driven event took place on Dec 16 2023 at the Stadtmuseum in Munich's historical center:
SOS host JJ Jones took us all on a 6hr ride through multiple variations of THE Christmas classic "Silent Night" aka "Stille Nacht". It was a very funny but also moody evening which was performed in front of an audience, and broadcast live over the air. Sorry if you missed it!
Here's my/our go at this epic; I chose to sing the Spanish version as it emphasizes on the words "peace" and "love" which is what we all *really* and desperately need these days!

Hint: if you're missing the original melody of the song: try to concentrate on the piano accompanying the voices ;)

Noche De Páz (SOS "Stille Nacht" Marathon Live Final Set 16-12-2023)

If you look at my tracks you might realize that I have some hang on 70's and 80's disco. So here's another true classic of that era. 
Of course I had to make some adjustments. No chance to compete with Errol Brown's pitch, to start with. And while I was at it I also changed other aspects of this great tune. Enjoy! 
Also check out my heavy disco remix of this tune!

Everyone's A Winner (03-24)

As promised here's a more danceable version of that great tune. Enjoy!

Everyone's A Winner - Heavy Disco Remix (March '24)

02-Caminito de Belén - Ovni Guarajé

BASS LMNT started as a personal solo home studio project and over time developed into a real band with a bunch of long-time friends.

The material mostly consists of rearranged songs of others, but I also re-did some of my own older stuff. I started a playlist (https://soundcloud.com/elem089/sets/going-nowhere) as a collection of what I produced from May 2020 onwards. A 2nd list is a collection of songs we created to be played live at Munich's repeating "Same Old Song" event (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrbA_XQ5bd0De1M33UjCzC1_T03cokZg5).
