Skol303 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) As is now tradition, we’re ending the year with a Basschat Cover Song Challenge: a selection of songs, all mercilessly butchered beautifully interpreted by members of this ‘ere community. If you ever needed an excuse to don a pair of headphones and blissfully ignore your relatives for half an hour over the Christmas period… This. Is. It. Listen at your leisure and then vote for your top three favourites: Dad3353 ‘Paradise Circus Waltz’ (original by The Alligators) MoonBassAlpha ‘Driving Aloud (Radio Storm)’ (original by Robyn Hitchcock) fingers211 ‘Silver Metropolitan Astronut’ (original by Neil Innes) christofloffer ‘Spinning Away’ (original by John Cale & Brian Eno) Mornats ‘Upside Down’ (original by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein) lurksalot ‘Wheels (OTB)’ (original by Verna Hills) Skol303 ‘3AM’ (original by Thundercat) xgsjx ‘Sonic Boom’ (original by Westworld) fleabag ‘In A Broken Dream’ (original by Python Lee Jackson) Voting ends at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

Bilbo Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I have been working on a Latin version of Bach's second Cello concerto all month. The themes are all written out but it is too complicated for me to play and my PC is playing up and I couldn't record it in sections so I didn't enter it. Sorry guys. I bit off more than I could chew!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t sweat it ...both nice tracks and very few people have voted so far. Hopefully we’ll get some more as people start getting bored of TV and want something to do with their hands other than bring turkey sandwiches to their mouths.
