On my album Smoke all of the instrumentation was done in-the-box on the laptop using virtual instruments, so there aren't any 'mistakes' as such. However, I did the vocals pretty much first take, having had a run-through first. There are several dodgy moments but I thought 'Sod it, that's the way I sound'. Result of Chance, from the album, is the best example of this. A case of the rough (my voice) with the smooth (the backing track)

Are you from the UK, Tony? I noticed you spelled 'favours' with a U. The way it should be spelled

Merci beaucoup, Craig

It's a great song, and Mark sings/plays it very well.

 

Look for the Fredfin Wallaby version of this in a couple of months.

Thanks, and I'll look forward to hearing what you and the guys do with it

Meanwhile here's a vid I put together of said tune:

This song is called Black Market Daydreams. Craig Anderton has done a great cover-version, but this is the original

I recorded it on a standalone Zoom 16-track, using the built-in effects

Drums - Zoom drum machine

Guitar - Les Paul

Bass - Squier P

Keys - Yamaha PSR something-or-other
