Lyrics don't matter on this one. The Music tells the story, and no words fit. This is a quick instrumental demo, with the music doing the talking. She told me that she didn't love me anymore after we came home from a vacation to the beach, which benefitted her and her kids. She got the reward and left to be an F-Toy for the next person she could use. Broke my Heart. WE were planning a Wedding.
Written and recorded in a few hours in early June 2014.

I Found You

Thanks to Ehrinah Al-Jeordhi for playing Guitar, doing some Background Vocals, and providing the equipment to record this. Love the Bass lick he throws in in the pause.

Photographic (Depeche Mode Cover from 1981)

Thanks to Angela Russell (My Sis), for Background Voices, and to Erin of Sexual Overdrive for Background Voices and Guitars, as well as the opportunity to get this ol' Cover song out of my system. If it were an Original, it would get more polish before release, but this is just for Fun.

Cover of Alice Cooper, 1980. Brian Leemings did the Guitars and Some Background Vocals, as well as assistant engineering on this one. All other parts are me... Michael Xi.

This is a cover I've wanted to do for years.
Thanks to my Sis for assisting with some of the background vocals. I did all of the rest, and yes, I did it from scratch. For the Youngin's who Don't Know, the Original was done by Love and Rockets, and it wasn't done in a Living Room.

So Alive (Love and Rockets Cover)

Demo Version of my Newest Song as of Dec 31, 2012.
Happy Freakin' New Year...
I Just had to Get it Out of me.
It's a Partner to the Last one entitled "Betrayal".

It Addresses a Couple of People...
Not Equally, Of Course.

Shameful, Tainted, and Disgraced

I used to do this Gary Numan song Live back in the early 90's.
I Finally got around to Recording a version.
I Adore the Original, and have since I was about 16.
I Hope that you like my cover.

I Dream Of Wires (Gary Numan Cover)

My newest Original song. Dedicated to someone VERY Special to me.

I Feel A Wind

Not much "Structure" here... That's just how this one came out.
The person it was written for KNOWS who it's about... All others need NOT Assume. It Now Applies to My Ex-Fiancee as well. Fits like a Glove.
I Hope that You Like It.

I think, shy of Mastering, this one is Finished Now.
:-)
Lyrics will be re-transcribed soon.
I deleted the earlier version.

Demo-Mix of a Cover of Depeche Mode's "A Question Of Time".
I used to play this song "back in the day", when I was 17-19, and it's Been YEARS since I played it. I was watching a Depeche Mode Concert Video, and was reminded of this song and how much I Loved it, so I dusted it off and cut my own version.
Thanks Again to Dean Johnson for playing the Guitars.
He gave it the Balls I always wanted to add to it.
Enjoy!?

A Question Of Time (Depeche Mode Cover)

The Name is Pronounced "Michael's Eye". Pleasuretech is an Electronic-oriented band which I started in 1987. Contributing players are credited with each track. I play everything except for the Guitars as noted. I recorded and mixed everything myself at a variety of studios, but most tracks are from my home. Everything will be credited on the album.
