Hoping to hear your version of it later, I really love this track.
Awesome cover

I like the touch of that higher pitched feedback-like sound (reminds me of distorted guitar feedback). Thanks for adding to this effort, and for the interest. I haven't started working on B16 at all yet. It's one of many that I wanted to, but really, there's so many songs from all 3 collections that sound exciting to cover. I might have a go at B16 sometime, but this one is really solid. Maybe I would just to try out different instrument sources, but idk...what all do you use? Do you use FL Studio by chance?
Reason I ask is another idea that was floated earlier was collaborating on songs. The appeal to that idea for me, is being able to make it a group project, but also have a sort of uniform, cohesive sound. Maybe that's a possibility? Easier if we happen to use the same DAW, but still doable otherwise. I use FL studio to record and mix..etc., but all the instrument sources you've heard from my stuff have been external from FL: EZDrummer for my drums (midi sampled from real drums), a Yamaha CS analog synth (which I've read BOC themselves have used a Yamaha CS on at least some stuff), a Jackson guitar, and an Ibanez bass...which BTW, I could swap out different instruments for individual song parts, and submit different versions for the community to weigh the options. Like, I could submit a version of say B16 that just *attempts* to sound like an improvement on the original, so using synths for everything, and also submit a version that uses bass guitar for bass, and guitar or something else for leads (I tend to prefer bass guitar even if I use the synth on other parts, but it's all sorta malleable). I also play flute, and I've thought about throwing that in somewhere. And of course a bunch of midis from FL Studio, but I haven't used them for this project yet, and I've got Iris 2 from iZotope, which seems like higher quality with packaged FL stuff; it's the fuck out of CPU, though.
There's a lot of possibilities. A few more that I had started on: A 08, I Will Get It Tattooed, and started interpreting A 13, and Music for Pylons...probably others. Music for Pylons seems really fun to cover, and the only reason I didn't make a draft of that yet, is because I haven't found a midi generator to emulate that electricity sound; or synthesize it with the analog. Any ideas?
