OK, so I finally got my brand new Cubase SE figured out good enough to record another song - the first produced at my homestudio.

This is a bit different than the rest, as it is an electro/synthpop instrumental. In fact, this is the first song I made on the Amiga back in 1988, a song that I have made around 25 new versions of on various computers and instruments.
This 2007 version uses mostly softsynths

The song, "Eggs & Bacon" is found at my Uhørt-site:

There's something of Lionel Richie's "Hello" in the melody.

Hongro, is it me you're looking for?

The opening of Eggs & Bacon reminds me of Sabrina's "Boys, boys, boys".

Were you part of the Amiga mod scene?
The only person I can remember from it anymore is Dr Awesome/Bjørn Lynne.

There's something sweetly melancholy about it, nice.

"Were you part of the Amiga mod scene?"

Sort of.

"The only person I can remember from it anymore is Dr Awesome/Bjørn Lynne. "

I sure remember him too. I was active at the same time :)

While I am trying to figure out how to record vocals with satisfactory audio, I have put out yet another instrumental. This time it is a cover version for once, and the source is old: "Toccata & Fugue" by Bach. The Toccata is a rather faithful abbreviation of the original, whereas the Fugue is considerably more different.

Get out of the way, Walter/Wendy Carlos, here's Geir!

Hopefully this sounds slightly more modern. :)

I love "Switched On Bach" though.

thirteen years pass...

I guess I have gone completely sellout. Or.. well, Hongroe is now on all the normal typical platforms, although I guess I will never have a Hongroe CD or vinyl record I can actually hold in my hands.

I see The Man has put an E for Explicit tag on ‘Do It With You’. Clearly 2020 is still not ready for a hippo in a thong.

OK. Thanks for the image of a hippo in a thong. It was useful for these lyrics (Hell, what did I smoke now???!!!???)
