Well...
I've done a cover of Kraftwerk's Pocket Calculator, which I have worked on for some time now. And now I feel enough is enough. I need to drop it. I cannot carve on every little detail forever.
All misses and errors in my version can be seen as blemishes and inspiration to others who feel they can do better.

I chose to try to do a cover of Pocket Calculator because I want to develop in terms of mixing vocals.
I know that I cannot sing, so I felt that "PC" was just enough singing for me.
I have also realized that few is interested in my music, and the best response I have so far is my version of "It's more fun to compute", which made the choice easier.

I know I haven't the greatest pronunciation, since I am Swedish, and the thing aren’t helping that I have listened on the original version of the track from 1981.
Anyway, it's my own version...
Please enjoy and take it for what it is

Pretty awesome. It captures the mood exactly, even if the sounds are quite different.
