i wanted to keep adding to this, despite wot it might sound like to your ears,there is a lot going on, okay the same but slightly different layered upon the the same but slightly different ad nauseum, the last bounce on this one went to the v8 tracks on my micro br, i had imagininings in my head as to wot i might add but the minimalist in me (aka lazy bastard) sed right ennuff post the fracker

Don't know it but I like it. The Juno sounds great.

It's funny how the briefest of sounds can sometimes be recognized from something else. The first couple of seconds of this made me think of Van Halen's "Why Can't This Be Love". So I went and checked it out to see if I was right and it sounds pretty darn close.

no juno involved was all kaossilator and voice

and van halen where never allowed in my home and quite rightly too.

throw out all your van halen albums and replace them with xtc.

Another great choice James. Why the hell weren't XTC bigger than they were?

cos van halen got more airplay and andy partridge wasn't a show off pussy but suffered from chronic stagefright. but had much better hair than thon van halen wummin.

She-It. Was this really done with a Kaossilator?

Very different from the original, but very good all the same.
I often use the iKaossilator on my iPad & have wondered whether I should go for the real thing.
Mind you the hole in my wallet after Xmas is still to be repaired ... So maybe not!!

Cool Song
