do you think it sounds more bauhaus than jd? I kind of deliberately made the vocals really low because I hate my voice and to draw attention away from my trying to be ian curtis.
as for the lyrics, it's interesting that you make that suggestion. to make the cover not be as much a cover?

haha Well I don't know, I suppose a cover is a what it is., could be more though if you think about it. Bauhaus was the closest band I could think of that I could relate to. Mixing the traditional Rock with a slight bit of electronic/punk.
You say you don't like your voice but I really don't think you've pushed your self. Its got to come from the gut. Or its got to come off as strange, depressed, really really sad,...... Got to record this the way life would be, but not be it. I think the more you hide your voice the more I want to hear it.
anyway I like your song man! Maybe I'm just coming from a really really different point of view here.
..as I'm still developing myself musically yet still.
Sorry had a few beers already! typing out to much here! ..peace!

LOL - you got to put in some swirling wind sounds to make it sound like their spinning around on a marry-go-round. Maybe come up with some cheesy lyrics and make it sound like a drunk guy.
Your funny

Oh my god that's fucking awesome!
I instantly feel like I have to check wtf is going on on my computer.
Dude ..do another one with some echoing sound scape xp sounds.
Wounding if this will be a new game for us. What else can we sample, on are free time of course but still interestingly enough what can we find?

this is driving my Pavlovian training nuts, I have this unsettling feeling my PC is freaking out.

Why do I smile

Sell it to Microsoft - it would make great background music for their next ad campaign.

a different kind of contribution from me. almost entirely generative in ableton using a very small amount of human control to tweak a parameter or 2 during the track.

theres a great speaker exploding sound toward the end so watch your levels.
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.
