Most people will know the Kinks greatest hits from You really Got Me to Sunny Afternoon to Lola. 

This album takes some of their lesser known songs and re-imagines them using AI reproduction. Take a listen. They are really good songs worth rediscovering or listening to them for the first time.

Hidden Kinks

A slight departure from the previous tracks on this album as the 60's performers started moving into the 70's. This one from 1971 . . . .

.... which could take me in that direction for the R&B's band follow-up album down the track . . .

Introducing Funkinova's Old School R&B Band

The Temptations - Papa Was A Rolling Stone

Just sneaking this onto Funkinova's Christmas Album as a 2021 Bonus Track!

A new take on a classic 1960's pop song but with a whole new vibe for the song.  Same lyrics, but entirely different modern arrangement. Take a listen, you will be amazed!

Memories of an early Bob Marley concert before he was famous featuring him, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. We didn't really know who or what we were watching. Stir it up was his single of the day.

York '74

13 AI Collective - York '74

A young couple on a road trip. The latest single from AI Collective.

A relateable song for anyone who were in love when they were seventeen... and still are!

The original lyrics were Bangladeshi. These lyrics are English. Not a direct translation, but gives you the idea. 

AI Collective - Praan (Gary Schyman Cover - English lyrics)

A new Christmas song with nostalgic elements

I can go for Christmas

AI Collective - I can go for Christmas

Just felt like writing a pop song. Take a listen.

Wide Awake

AI Collective - Wide Awake

This is Tasmin Archer's recent 2025 single.A good song, but I thought it needed to be "amped-up" a bit to make it a full scale gospel anthem. 

Vibration of Life

Tasmin Archer - Vibration of Life (AI Collective remix))

A classic unknown track from an unknown group of the mid 1990's, recorded in Newcastle Australia. 

Reworked with AI and, I believe, should have been much more successful. It is a great song.

Realise

AI Collective - Realise (Gorilla Fish Cover)

These tracks were edited using the CVP705 and demonstrate the audio capability of the excellent keyboard. I am hoping that Yamaha will address the major weakness of having very limited free available memory after which I would give the keyboard 10/10. 

Black - Wonderful Life

The Stranglers - Golden Brown

Sting - Fragile

Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You

Sash - Adelante

Lisa Stanfield - All Around The World

One of Funkinova's early recordings which, at the time of being included on the Dance Party Album had already had  over 33,000 plays on Soundcloud. 

This was one of the first Funkinova-produced tracks where he realised that he did not have to re-produce the original sound but could get creative with the instruments and sounds.

The Tramps - Disco Inferno

Bronski Beat - Small Town Boy (Remastered)

After 20+ years in the business they produced their best track in 2005!

Depeche Mode - Precious

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 3,000,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance songwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!
