Drico.

We'll try to do more ostentatious sounding tracks then, if only I knew what exactly that was!

I like this track very much, different from previous tracks
at first I thought it was a ballad when I heard intro, and when the beat came it reminded me of ''You spin me round (Like a record)'' by Dead Or Alive

I know its not as easy as it seems to bang out a track but it would be enjoyable if more of the forum members who do music would do a PSB cover everynow and then.
just for fun to post something to listen to or to vote for the forum favorite out of the bunch. just like once a year so it doesnt become like work.

This is a quite good idea. I wonder how many would be up for this.

Excellent stuff.

The intro reminds me of Lorraine - you should extend the intro into a completely new track.

I LOVE the synth stabs on the main track.

The fat synth riff reminds me of One Night in Bangkok... (which is good)

Brilliant stuff! I have been listening this now non-stop for a while.
(If I absolutely must find something to nitpick, then perhaps the transition from intro to the main song is slightly too abrupt.)

ok.... it seems tis was what i needed to do today.
i have spent a few hours at my synth an did this psb-"london" cover.Its kind of me doing erasure doing psb

Unfortunately its crap, but at least i find it better than i thought it would be.. here is it: http://www.melantronic.de/
(this will one day be my homepage)

... ok i hope there is no copyright problem... i think will remove it in a few days

till then feel free to hate covers

you know, when you first started off at the beggining it kinda threw me it was so different and you were singing it a tad broadway for my taste then all of a sudden once you got to the first chorus I found myself really enjoying the groove and your vocals and the tune sounded great from then on out.

I love what you did with the chords to the song especially under the words "tell it like it is",how it sort of climbs upwards.

I wish you would have doubletracked the vocals on the chorus it would have sort of lifted the level of the song up a notch which is why singers usually doubletrack on the chorus parts.

I'm so glad you did london.I see what you mean how you sort of crossed both groups styles. you did it really good and I'm glad you kept it a song rather than just synth stuff. I hope others do some as good!

thank you, glenn for your nice comment

now, one day later i am quite happy with the song. I think you are right, i could doubletrack the refrain, or add a second vocal-line to increase harmony. But then i often experience songs to get kind of pulpy - its a matter of mixing i think.

i would be happy to hear other fans fun-covers

yeah me too.I started a couple but dissapointingly I keep getting this really bad hiss when I do vocals.I think my soundcard is finally going. it doesnt help that my computer sounds like JFK airport either. might be time to upgrade.
