I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN BY BACH TO THE FUTURE NOW!!! 😭😭 I only realized it after hearing these two tracks.

Either way i can hear a pad in the background as starships fly across the skyline.

And the 2nd one of "Bach to the Future" is as good as the 1st one - yet more playful!

hehe... funny synths... great outro... big creativity

Fast Car (Written by Tracy Chapman)

Where the heartbroken go. A more luxurious and upscale Heartbreak Hotel. Rooms now available...
Lyrics:
The problem with love that I see
Is that we're just watching each other
Watch ourselves
On each other's feed
That's just about as useful as a bag full of
Donkey teeth
I know a place that you can stay for a month or a week
They have a teardrop shaped pool
And a Bartender who's cool
His name is Hank
He's got a sympathetic ear
And a heavy hand as he pours your drink

(Chorus)Oh yeah, wouldn't you know
I'm back at heartbreak chateau

The clientele around here
The women scantily clad
I bet she don't take tax deductions on clothes!
Doing something nice 
You turn it into a vice
I remember the days
When you and I
We would go out and chase the light
You were right!
And I was wrong
Hank, I'll take another drink
And get one for Marisol in the sarong.
(chorus)

You know, every room here it comes with a view
Of the LA river
And what you should and should not do
I hear commotion from down the hall
(Fake Jasper Johns on the wall)
I'm fussing
And fighting
And crying
And screaming my life out
All night
Baby, let me come home!
To explain it in the language of love
Broyer du noir  (translated French: To crush some darkness/ I am sad)
Oh yeah, wouldn't you know
I'm back at heartbreak chateau

Heartbreak Chateau

Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.

Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
