Thanks so much Ian. I'm pleased that they entertained you. The only other recent one I have made was "My Place" that is posted on an earlier thread.
http://www.synthzone.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/326860/My_Place#Post326860The cool thing about My Place is that although the song is in 4/4 the drums play in 7/8 through the verses and end up wrapping around just in time for the 4/4 choruses.
One feature of "Too Many People" which is the first song on this thread is that the opening verse is sung by Colin Haye from "Men At Work" ( of Downunder and Who Can It Be Now fame ). Because the album we were making for EMI back in the 80s was post humous for the singer that had tragically died, and we were using vocal tracks from demos we had played on with him, we were missing a good recording of the opening verse. We ran into Colin Haye in the hallway at EMI Sydney and told him about it so he simply walked into the studio and sang that opening verse for us and also added harmonies to the choruses. A great guy especially considering that at the time he had a top 10 hit in the USA. He asked for nothing and got legal clearance for us to use his vocal on the album. A real gentleman.
