Hello

Want to share with you my cover of the tune "Hiscores" from the tape "Old tunes Vol.2" (The first tune i have heard from Boc)
I used two simple analog synth (Korg Volca Bass & keys) and a midi file that I created.
This piece has always intrigued me

Great stuff. Quite close to the original, a bit cleaner though

That great ! (your Alpha rainbow is my favorite)
What do you use for these sounds ?

I would still be curious to hear the tune "you don't know how make" ...have you some stuff to hear even though?

Nice cover! Loving that bass line!

Also,
Am I the only one finding it weird that the first BoC song AlyN heard was from Old Tunes Vol. 2? How did that happen? A friend who's super into BoC show it to you other than many of their staple songs for some strange reason? That's the only way I can make sense of it... I mean, it's a great song and all, but it wouldn't be the first song I showed a friend.

maybe not for you...but perhaps that is his buddies favorite track. id share Sequoia or BMX Track with someone. it also depends on who you are sharing it with.
one of my buds would like Kid for Today, another might like Korona.

Ah, I see. I've discovered bands the same way, come to think of it.
