Great job on this one! The drum tracks sound great, better than some of the other "beat boxes" I've heard used on some videos... keep it up , friend...
Great sounds and production, however on the original song the left hand maintains the E chord during the verse, whereas you have changed down each bar through D, C# and B. This takes out the main feeling of tension created through the track I'm afraid. Suggest you re-do it as the overall effect of the mix is very powerful indeed.
Being a big replicas fan i can only say well done....and as for covering the wrong version...???.....Gary's live versions of replicas back in 79 and 80 were always meatier than the vinyl one and sounded fantastic.
I'd love to hear your version of Films !! give it a go and if you try the vocals remember sing squeaky high.
Great work but my only critism it that you have covered Numans recent version of the song rather than going for the 1979/80 version which in my opinion is far far far superior in every way possible. But good anyway and I look forward to hearing what else you are going to do, and hopefully the older versions.....thansk.

It was hard to avoid
I suppose it was the shame
But they didn't even try
You see we'd never met
And they didn't have names
There was nothing I could do
So I turned on the crowd
And I screamed "you and you"
"It could have been you"

And they seemed to think
That I looked that way
Or maybe I was wrong
So I said do you know Mr. Wall
And they looked the other way
And then they smiled at me
But the police came
And I said it was me
And I just walked away

IT does in the original, yes, but not in the 'pure' version, which is what i've covered here. Personally i think the 'pure' version is better
