recyclefest sickie boy-robyn hitchcock and the venus 3 covered by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

one of my favourite songs off of the propeller time album by robyn hitchcock and the venus 3.

i had a go at it this morning without drums and it was a disaster.

for this version i dug out my alesis sr16 drum machine, juno di and tried to find a quiet spot in the house.

hope i havent killed a great song.

Not familiar with the original, but this is rather good (in the british understated meaning)

I feel I'm way behind my normal Festproductionrate ..... ahhh where to buy some time ? ... hmmm ..... must get some of that vampireblood back ....... you got some T ?

[Bluesberry]

Yeah T...I need a boost too...you got any of that vampire blood man.  Hey Jim, this is rather bloody good.  I really like your voice here, double tracked with one higher?  it sounds deadly.

[Gritter]

cool. vocals are rather good! love the effect on the quiet echoey voice. Good beat too.

[Oldrottenhead]

Great cover Jim, Love the vox..Excellent recording...........Alex

[Greeny]

Surely an emufest entry too?!

This is excellent, James. Superb performance and the overall feel is just perfect. I'm really digging this. That's one catchy chorus!

[Oldrottenhead]

some piano on it which rules it out 4 the emufest

Been a fan of Robyn since the Soft Boys days, although not familiar with this one.  Nice cover.  You seem to get those mixes to sound effortless.  I'm really struggling to get my current project sounding as I want it.
