This is a cover of the Live version from ATP (so thats my excuse for how LO-FI it is).

Did anyone ever find the sample they used for the vocals in that track? I realy need it or i'll have to record my own. I also need to add in the kids voices laughing.


That was very good!! What are the chords?

Hmm, I sampled this audio from the nostalgia thread:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP-Jp2Uy2H4

Just the drone at 11 seconds in then played it in a sampler as follows:
D#2, A#2, C#2, G#2, D#2 and repeat as a 5 bar loop in 4/4 time.

The bass line is:
A1, D#1, G1, D1 again 5 bar loop.

I hope that helps some how.
But to get most of the right notes I had to use 36 peek filters to hit the right notes.

I can't download it, i'm a rapidshare free users.

You should be able to download it as a free user unless you have downloaded tons of stuff just before. If you PM me your email I could send you it or someone else can help you out maby.

But its just a work in progress.

It did help a bit. I just can't capture the same sound on an acoustic guitar if you know what I mean. I don't know what you mean by D#2? is that twice or the send octave of D#?

Yeah sorry, Its D sharp and 2nd octave. Same rule for all of them.

But as I dont play any instrument im afraid I cant help you out with how to convert that onto guitar.

Thanks for the feedback guys :D

Hahah, sorry I have no idea how people talk about how to play notes on the guitar.

D#2 simply meens play D sharp at the 2nd octave. Thats only one note unfortunately so you will still have to work out how they all fit together in terms of chords.

I worked it out by laying the BOC tune in my sequencer and fitting everything around it till I could mute their track and was still left with the full tune.

It's Okay. I got you now. but when you wrote D# I thought you meant the whole chord.

RAAA I love it!
Please finish it! It's a lovely cover.

..The Lo-Fi element, I think, adds to it. It has a sort of warm, nostalgic rumble sound that reminds me of the bass sound in Sixtyniner
