Nerd Revolt: "Photographic" (Depeche Mode Cover)

[Foxhound1917x]

I´m looking for photographic covers every year because it´s my favourite song and this is one of the best!

[NerdRevolt]

@Foxhound1917x:

Yay, so glad you like it! It's amazing how many songs have come and gone in 30 years... but this one sounds fresh as ever :)

Excellent cover...great job !

Yay, thank you! Checked out your channel too... loving the Gary Numan covers! Very big and rich sounds. Will definitely stay tuned for more ;D

[Ellisdj]

@NerdRevolt Depeche Mode- song was written by Vince Clark of DM yo....

[NerdRevolt]

@Ellisdj:

Yep... we know... but the song was originally performed by Depeche Mode, so it's a Depeche Mode cover. That's why it says "Written by Vince Clarke" in the caption yo :P

Oh...and it's "Clarke" with an "E" ;)

[RicardoDiLago]

absolutly great, love it!

[NerdRevolt]

@RicardoDiLago:

Thanks so much! :D

Checked out your channel... and we definitely share obsessions! Namely, synths and DM ;) Subscribed and can't wait to see more videos! :D

[tranqui67]

Very good cover. Simple and brilliant!

[NerdRevolt]

@tranqui67:

Aww, thanks! :D We wanted to respect the simplicity of the original, and of course reinterpret it with our NR sound :)

Really glad you enjoyed it! :)

[Ventro69]

Loved it! Awesome effort!!!

[NerdRevolt]

@Ventro69:

Thanks so much! It's an homage to our synth forefathers ;)

[evilsnakes1]

...excellent cover. not trying too hard to sound like the original, yet staying true to its minimalism.

[NerdRevolt]

@evilsnakes1:

Thanks so much! :D The original is brilliant in its simplicity, and we definitely didn't want it to sound too busy :) I think good covers pay homage to the song, while staying true to your own style. Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[unendlich96]

just like everything u touch....classy, appealing and perfectly crafted, love your gear n ya legs ^_^ keep it up, it super inspiring me!!!

[NerdRevolt]

@unendlich96:

Aww, thank you! :) That means a lot to us that we inspire you... people like you (with genuine passion & excitement) inspire us so much! <3

[benderass100]

I have been away for a while

but what I meant to say is

seeing you're piano skills and the fact that there are

two of you working on music there could of been more juice in the track

but, I realized now you are into the minimal stuff

textures and sonic weirdness

Live long and prosper ................

[NerdRevolt]

@benderass100:

Well, like I said... that's fine if you have that opinion :) I just think music is about expressing yourself and sharing those emotions with the listener. It's not about showing how well you can play... and just because this song doesn't have tons of musical parts, doesn't mean we didn't totally geek out on sound design and subtle elements. Thanks for the feedback!

[creadone]

Отличный кавер! А еще будут? :)

[NerdRevolt]

@creadone:

Большое вам спасибо! :D

[benderass100]

Nice but boring, and is it about the pictures or the gear you are using

[NerdRevolt]

@benderass100:

Haha, well to each his/her own... there's no point in saying "what it's about". It's up to the viewer to decide that for themselves! It's like trying to explain what a painting is about... it's whatever it is for that person.

[SOLaharl]

Well done !

[NerdRevolt]

@SOLaharl:

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it :D

[NerdRevolt]

@Flipjunkie1:

Hey Flipjunkie! Thanks for the support and enthusiasm :D Yeah, 30 years later and "Photographic" is still amazing. So much electronic music has come and gone since then! Just shows that great songs are timeless :)

[fastortuga]

[The0bserv3r]

Phat intro! Love it, Sounds far beyond great. Just as all your work guys, always amzing. And the colors of the video are also great, love the blueish tone of the video! Awesome Job guys!

PS: Do I see more covers in the future? I think you mentioned me something about them ;)!

[NerdRevolt]

@The0bserv3r:

Muchas gracias :D We're really excited about "Photographic"... definitely challenged ourselves on the sound design/video/makeup tip :) Oh, and we felt the colors fit the vibe of the song well :)

Won't be our last cover, that's for sure. This was too much fun! And yes, this was the cover I was hinting at in my messages ;) I didn't want to reveal too much too soon, hehe....

[StefanoBottarelli]

great! I love the Virus' sound :)

[NerdRevolt]

@StefanoBottarelli:

Grazie mille! We love it too ;)

[NerdRevolt]

@ovuori:

Kiitos paljon! This song and video were so fun to make :D

[WildOrchid85]

I love it! great job on the cover!

[NerdRevolt]

@WildOrchid85:

Hey, thank you WildOrchid! :) We love the original version so much, and this is our nerdy nod to it ;) PS: Saw that you're into makeup, photography, and music too. Sounds like we share obsessions :D

[NightDewSpiderwebs]

@NerdRevolt this is my more personal channel but check booth.yes i saw that as well and i love 80s music as well!haha so really loving the remake of this song. You guys really made it your own and did such a wonderful job=D

[NerdRevolt]

@NightDewSpiderwebs:

Hey there spiderwebs! Yay... the 80s, synthpop, pioneers of electronic music= yummy :) Thanks so much for checking out the video! Happy you enjoyed our nerdy journey :D

[atabeylive]

sick I love the video and the sounds you chose for the song.

[NerdRevolt]

@atabeylive:

Yay, thanks! This was a really fun and challenging project... but we love learning and geeking out :D

[kb1629]

Great work! Love all the little nuances you've spread across the track. And the vocal is also very good. Is this available for purchase anywhere else? I'm on pc and hate itunes.

[NerdRevolt]

@kb1629:

Thanks so much :) Adding nuances and layers is the best part (even in more stripped down tracks like this)! Glad you enjoyed the vox too ;)

Sorry, it's only available on iTunes for now... but if that changes, we'll let you know :D
