Mystery - Bloc Bloc Bloc (OMD cover)

YouTube via mysteritmo
"A cover of OMD's Bloc Bloc Bloc. Inspired by Depeche Mode's first album "Speak & Spell" I gave myself the challenge to play only monophonically (no chords) - so the chord changes in the song are given by creating single melodic lines on top of each other. Instruments used: Novation K-Station; MicroKorg, Electribe ER-1 and Electribe ES-1. Songwriters: OMD (from the album Crush, 1986). Make sure to watch this video in HD."

Getting ready to take it out for a ride..

"This thing is about as old as me..1985 Vintage Roland drum machine and pretty much the sound of early Chicago house music...this was the machine that made many great artists and classic songs..Just check out Armado's Land Of Confusion if you want to hear some raw 707 and 303, this was also Larry Heard also known as Mr Fingers' drum machine..
Took this last year round x-mass when I was using it a lot...need to sell it now as I hardly use it and need some other bits..also I might sell my Roland JX-3P too"
