A True Classic for me - Telstar

Hi ALL,

This was as far as I can remeber was one of the first instrumentals to use an Electronic Keyboard, my version is slightly more upbeat with the obligatory driving bassline and electronic drums

Hi there Brian,
A well known number played and voiced well I enjoyed listening my good friend. :D :D :D

Jon D. :) :) :wink:
Hi there I have played from the age of 13 and all my music is played in a sort of dance tempo style. Have worked in nearly all the North East clubs over the years. That gave me a good grounding. Cheers.

Hi Jon D and John T.

Thanks a lot for having a listen and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed my version of that classic instrumental from the 1960s.

Hello Brian, Unusual for me, I loved it. Thumping drums are not usually my thing but this goes well. Thanks for posting. Regards, Den.

Hi Den,

Thanks a lot for having a listen and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it, the driving bass line and electronic drums are either something you love or hate in the absence of any good instrumental groups like the Shadows or Tornados I am beginning to enjoy the more modern electronic instrumental music and what comes with it

All the best, Brian007

Brian,

That has been very well put together and reflects the mood of the original. You are very good at creating sounds and this piece must have been quite a challenge.

Hi Hugh,

Thanks for having a listen and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it, trying to get away from making exact copies of the originals and trying to put a bit more of me in them,

All the best, Brian007
