OMD - Greeny & Flash cover Messages.

[Flash Harry]

I'm putting together some late 70's / early 80's synthpop - can't find any from the '90's, clearly too modern.

This was one of my favourites back in the day, Tim has done a great job singing this, I spent a bit of time with my keyboards and this has some real bass on it, not that you'd notice..

fuck off guys, this is too good, why where omd not included in the current fest. the ball has just been kicked out of the park.

do me a "dalek i love you" cover guys.

funnily it reminds me of another song posted on this day, not today but uno wot a meen. it's called "pretentious moi" that is not a criticism of this song, but i think that p moi may be a bit of a rip off of this one. lol.

Really excellent…great vocals, and love those synths - so icy cold on leads, and rhythmic in the sequenced part. And I can hear the bass!

[64Guitars]

Wow. The synth sounds fantastic. I like the bass too. If you hadn't said that it was an actual bass, I might have thought it was keyboards. But it wouldn't matter. It sounds great no matter how you did it. And, of course, the vocals are excellent, as always. Well done guys. I like this better than the OMD original.

why where omd not included in the current fest.

Yeah, we'll definitely have to include them in "80s VarietyFest 2".

Excellent cover fellas...spot on with the vibe of the time. One of those songs that brings back memories of a particular period of my life. In fact we used to play this and Electricity in my first band. Great to hear your version!

I'm not familiar with this one, but it sounds great!  Digging the Cool melodic synth, and of course composition, bass, and vox! I almost don't recognize Tim on this lol

[Speed Demon]

Excellence personified. As good as it gets on this planet.

Tim, you monster!

Lovely rock and roll.

Well done!
