Hey there. I haven’t really made my presence felt on this board for a while due to just being busy as hell in general. I’ve gotten married and have been on my honeymoon for once. But, here I am to present a new track to anyone who might be interested. It most certainly has a PSB twist as it is the song that started life as a cover version of “You Funny Uncle”. To induce a true PSB mood we had an intro reminiscent of West End Girls and did the whole song in the style of New York City Boy. There was really only one problem: it didn’t work! The songmelody of “Your Funny Uncle” simply didn’t suit the track. However, we liked the instrumental so we wrote an entirely new melody on top of it and called it “Never See Me Run”. We had major disagreements on whether the song was brilliant or pants, though, so we never ever put it up on MyMusic.dk or anywhere else.

Over the years we tried remixing it, but were never really successful. Until this year where we started from scratch again and rerecorded everything. Now it is a ballad of sorts with a strange housy middle section. It doesn’t really follow mainstream pop rules at all, but we think it is a strong tune, so give it a listen.

Listen to or download “Never See Me Run” here: http://blueswan.mymusic.dk/diskografi – please note that the site has changed layout recently. To listen to the track press the small speaker icon. To download the track press the “arrow-down” icon.

Please give us some feedback on it as it is a style we’ve never attempted before!

Great track! Different to your other stuff but very good. again you reminded me of Jean-Michel Jarre, but just the opening swooshy wind type noise, which made me think of Oxygene part 4...

Thanks! Actually, we're doing a genuinely Jarre-esque track soon. I've done a backing track using a pad-sound and a chord-progression that just screams early Jarre. We've done no vocals or anything yet, but I think it's gonna be interesting!

Probably not. I'd be surprised if they did. They might know our cover of "A New Life" if they've heard the proposed Attribute tracklisting, but other than that, I don't think so.

But thank you for your comment!

Right... You are supposed to click the arrow normally, then it takes you to a download page, and on that download page you have to right click and save target as... I worded that wrong.

And logging in, on the left side panel, the ONLY two formfields are:
Brugernavn (meaning username)
Password (password)

And if you are not registered you click "Ny bruger" I suppose it means as much as new user... I don't see why you don't understand that Avalon... You are closer to that language then I am...!
