Wow. Incredible work. I suppose you used one of the extended Electronica/Indoors tour versions as the basis for the extended chorus?

Love the chorus lead, it's one of the things that I just don't know how to recreate. The pitching-up chord before the chorus is also perfect (probably the best recreation of this sound I've ever heard). Would love to hear how you recreated those!

(My only remark - please forgive me - would be that some of the notes of the high chords in the chorus seem to be wrong, but maybe it's just my imagination)

Now you need to do that "special mix" extended version (and even make it longer without fadeout, as we know how it ends thanks to the Indoors/Electronica tour versions!)

Thanks Jote !

I used the maxi LP extended version and orginal to do the cover, no Electronica version

I hesitated a lot between the two versions but finally i decided to make a mix of the 2 for the intro and outro.

Can you please give me the time when you think there are wrong notes ? No need to apologize, there are certainely mistakes with some parts !

Too late to correct anyway

Very very nice cover !!! Maybe the best one, with the most accurate sounds. Great job.

Can you describe a bit more which synth you used on which parts ?

Have you tried to recreate the AyyAyy patch on the Arturia MS20 ?

Yes but i just can't figure it out.

My original plan was to use exclusively Arturia's but as i 'v also have Korg VST i choose the easy way after some hours of unsuccefful tries.

Too bad !
