Cheers Launched, I'm honoured to be part of your mp3 collection :)

Quote from: 64Guitars on November 26, 2012, 10:53:34 AMExcellent! I didn't recognize the song title at first (although I should have because I have the Travelogue album on vinyl), but I remembered it when the vocals came in. Great cover. Travelogue has some good songs on it. I especially liked "The Black Hit of Space", "Life Kills", and "Crow and a Baby". I haven't listened to that album in ages but you've inspired me to dig it out.
Nice one 64. Glad you enjoyed it. I've been working with a friend lately who produced this some years ago:

Quote from: bruno on November 27, 2012, 12:01:54 PMMust profess not to knowing this track - was expecting 'Fade to Grey' to come in at any time :-)
Hey cheers Bruno. You're not too far out with Fade To Grey (1980). Being Boiled was 1978 & re-released in 1980  ;D

Quote from: Rolow on November 28, 2012, 07:39:58 PMI don't to what extent you are being faithful to the original, but this is a good song and a superb record and its going to my iPod.  Thanks.

Can't believe it ... Another aural sufferer ;) I tried to stay close to the original, but added a twist or 2. Cheers for the comments.

Quote from: ianjm on November 30, 2012, 11:08:01 AMGreat cover mate, makes me feel so old hearing this.......
Make me feel older and do Underpass by John Foxx
What!! Make you feel as old as I actually am :o I wouldn't wish that on anyone ;)
John Fox ... Now there's a challenge. I have thought about trying to do Artifical Life the old Ultravox song. :)

Quote from: Hook on November 30, 2012, 11:30:46 AMDon't know the tune but I dig this
Oh Hooky ... If you want a treat ... Give Travelogue a listen (see 64 above) ... Now that's an album.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
As usual, if I've missed anyone, I'm truly sorry.
I like to thank everyone personally, if they've given their time up listening & commenting, so I honestly don't want to leave anyone out.

Great job! This early Human League classic is a long-standing favourite of mine and I know it very intimately. This is all put together very lovingly and with great attention to detail. Fab!

Gotta be worth an OTD bump

Great job, SDS.  I tend to prefer early Human League, more avant guard.

How did I miss this first time round. Thanks for the bump.

It's fantastic. The league are one of my favourites bands. This is a great cover. I love the layering.
