recyclefest - darkness - oldrottenhead covers van der graaf generator

[Oldrottenhead]

got a bit of dutch courage in me so i thought i would try and rework some classic prog rock. i know fans of van der graaf generator who would stab me for even going here, i might even have to stab myself.

anyway this is the song darkness by van der graaf generator done very differently as to the genre it's been redone in i have no inkling be warned i have been drinking, but you most likely realised that by now.

I don't know the song or anything by Steffi Graf's Generator (I tend to steer clear of prog rock...I hope I am forgiven by fellow songcrafters!) Anyway...this is a really cool ORH Juno exploration. Nice sounds and a great vocal.

When they write about you they will call this your synthesizer era.

Thanks for posting the original which I was unaware of.  As expected, its dark, but musically interesting.

I like your version better (really).  I'm not sure what to call either genre, but they aren't all that much different.

This song is very well constructed, it flows, but its altogether; a very good record.  As usual the vox is superb.  You've been busy lately, lucky for us!

Ooh, interesting........ You won't be offended by me saying that I prefer the original, it's one of their all time greats, but I like what you did here. Very different and I enjoyed it - should be on a tribute album somewhere.......

Cheers,

Nigel
