Sounds Like:
THE SONGS:
"Outer Space"
Recorded during the same sessions that produced "Analogue Sex" and
"My Name is..." back in 2003. All sounds (except drums) performed on
the 102200! The opening figure on the hi-hat is a hommage to "Heavy Tune" by Pierre Moerlen's Gong.
"My Name is 102200": Double-Oh-Seven meets the Hammond Synthesizer - recorded in 2003. Again, all sounds (except drums) performed on the 102200!
"L'Amour Synthetique" is another song from the 2003 recording sessions. Contrary to the other tracks, the rhythm track was performed on the Casio SK-1 - all other sounds on the Hammond Synthesizer.
"Analogue Sex"
A melody close to Serge Gainsbourg/Jane Birkin's "Je t'aime (moi non plus)" meets ooohs and aaaahs Duran Duran "All She Wants is" -style performed by myself (yeah, really) and sampled on the Casio SK-1!
"Manfred" was recorded in 2006 and borrows heavily without stealing (!) from well known Manfred Mann melodies.
"March'alogue Ratootsky" is pretty annoying... but I like it!
