I would love to have an extended version of this. Awesome stuff!

[CrixusOfGaul]

I need a download! where can i get it?

[nadaib79]

Excellent!

Nice work man. Good version, a bit more fleshed out than the original - in a very cool way. Keep it coming.

[SeamusVideo]

I've logged in just to comment on how awesome this is, great version I must say; by the way would you rate the microKorg as a good synthesizer and what software do you use within your music lab?

[conexant51]

Yesterday I made a remark on the bassline differing from the original on one specific note (I know you're aware of what note)... However, the more I listen to your cover, I realize that it's a deliberate change - and it fits this version well, though I'm not sure I would have made it. :-)

Anyway, you know what I mean!

[wonderwaffe]

@conexant51

i do.....;)

[conexant51]

Did you do this working off sheets, or did you do it by ear? If the latter, I have to say you did very very well! I have only one bassline correction to make, the rest is perfect from what I remember (I have audiographic memory [or whatever you call it, when it's sound, not visual input we're talking about]). Reply for that >>single<< correction.

[SynthProject]

Absolute perfect !!

Best

[starmedic]

Kick my ass, man! This is great shit!

[snarej]

Is there a download of this? with or without the voiceover?  please say yes

[r2j6m87]

damn dude this is perfect!!! awesome!

[VonManavis]

I am not fooling you man, this is an excellent version which could easily fit as an opener for a potential TV series.

[VonManavis]

RIP Duke!

[youboob1981]

beautiful!

[FrictionControl]

Excellent, excellent work. I can't stop watching.

[FrictionControl]

Needs more cowbell.

I'm kidding. That was awesome! (Would have liked some metal guitar, but it's perfect as is.) Great job.

[samsamba08]

I guess it's a "modern update" of sorts...but I prefer the grimy analog feel of the original 80's track.

[WORLDARYANREVIVAL]

i got a chill ! my wife is laughing at me! stupid bitch! she knows nothing of my struggles escaping from ny!

[NickTorrance237]

@WORLDARYANREVIVAL LMFAO.

[Pissedman]

Holy shit.. freakin amazing! Good job!

[Bidd46]

great , buy the way as you have 3 great keyboards which one do you rate te best!

[wonderwaffe]

@Bidd46

i like the motif the most

[Bidd46]

@wonderwaffe Thanks , i thought it might be that one. All the best on your music creation. :>)

[TheSynthkey]

Bella cover mi piace moltissimo anche i suoni bravo

[frankrideau]

Amazing work ! I did a little cover myself (a free interpretation -see on my channel) but I'm really impressed by such habilty with the synthesizers. It's fun to see all these covers, I'm really surprised by the quality of them all. It was such ahead of his time back in the 80's, I'm not surprise the soundtrack still lived in 2010 !

[gilblas59]

Wow ! great stuff ! (i tell that for all 3 vid's i've just seen). Il just love the way you respect the original, while adding your personnal touch, and a true modernity !

how did you make that sound on the PC3 ? i've already tried to find one similar to play this song but never found one close !! (and i'm not good enough at programming to intend to to it all from scratch !)  noob question : is it FM ?

would you share your program or setup ? (on sonikmatter for example ?)

cheers ! gilblas

[Verdegrand]

This is amazing!! Great job!

[youboob1981]

the only thing missing is the portamento glide note that sustains for the whole sequence near the end otherwise fantastic. I love this film and the soundtrack even more! great work.

[vukproject]

great work

[gomez0923]

Good sounds!!

"They've sent in their best man,

and when we roll down that 69th bridge tomorrow,

on our way to freedom,

we're gonna have their best man leading the way..

From the neck up..!

On the hood of my car..!"

Isaac Hayes, quote from 'Escape From New York' 1981

[wizardofozbe]

Beautiful strong updated version my friend! I like the Isaac Hayes' sample from the original movie. Still remains one of Carpenter's best soundtracks I think.

Great ;)
