Hi ladies and dudes,

Here's what I came up with not that long ago : a cover/remix of "London Kid", a somehow "forgotten" track.

This particular version was made for JMJ's birthday (facebook friends already know it ) and uses some elements of the album version, some of the "Trocadero" version… and new parts/arrangements of mine.

All intruments played by me (guitar included), only drums and main bass line have been automated using MIDI.

Here it is, on my SoundCloud : http://soundcloud.com/studio-r7/cover-remix-jmj-london-kid.

Hope you'll enjoy it !

For synth addicts, here's what I used to make it :
* Yamaha AN1x : Synthex bass/theme (patch programmed by me)
* Roland D-50 : strings and pad during chorus
* Roland JD-990 : low bass line (factory patch)
* Korg X5DR : drums, choir

+ RJXP VSTi for the resonant "response" during pre-choruses (patch also created by me)
+ my guitar gear, of course

Good cover!

Thanks Kanta
I wish I could have recorded a live performance the same day too. Things rarely happen the way we'd like to

Recently this track has started to grow on me more and more. Great cover.

Thanks

"London Kid" is a forgotten track. I don't understand why, 'cause Patrick Rondat can actually play it along with Jarre
Plus, it's a track full of feeling and good vibrations
