Hey all,

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum, and hopefully it's on topic. I just wanted to share a cover I posted of King's Cross. It's one of my favorite PSB's tracks, and hopefully some of you guys will appreciate it. It's a song that most people wouldn't recognize, but fellow PSB's fans likely know it well.

My project is based on 19th Century Sci-Fi (Jules Verne, etc.), so I try to do all of my work in a suitable style to that period. King's Cross already had a lot of the right atmosphere I wanted, so it was a perfect track for my project. Hope you guys get a kick out of it. I know I'm no Neil Tennant, but I'm pretty happy with my vox. Thanks again,

Josh

I like the version but your voice is a little off key sometimes (like Neil's sometimes live)

Anyway, good work on the music and great sounding. Could/would you send the instrumental version to me? baddijo@simnet.is if you can, I might try singing it myself and find out how I'd perform a Pet shop boys song myself. Cheers!

Thanks. Yeah my vocals have gotten a lot better over the past two years, but they still aren't quite right. I can probably upload an instrumental version. I'll try to get it up in the next day or so. I'll drop you a line when it's done.

Thanks again!

Yeah I agree about the vocals, but the arrangement is very nice, sounds almost like an OMD cover of kings cross

I'm really impressed with the arrangement of this cover. I've always loved this track and I really should play it more often. A job really well done in my humble opinion!

If you could do an instrumental it would be a fab addition to my collection.

Good luck with the projects!!

ps. I love your version of Subculture !!!

I have to agree with everyone else -- excellent version. I like even like the vocals, in a demo-y way.
