Six albums full of cleverly combined songs of others and some originals. All downloadable!
They call it Mashup pop.

A colleague of mine asked me to make a compilation for her of the silly covers I have of Beatles songs. While busy with that, I thought by myself: why not sharing this? So here it is.
I must admit, I took a lot from the fabulous the Exotic Beatles compilations of Jim Phelan.

I couldn't find a streaming link, so I used a javascript trick:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function reloadMarktImage() {
    var mynow = new Date();
    if (document.images) {
        document.images.Roermond.src = 
	'http://82.93.15.132/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?' 
	+ mynow.getTime();
    }
}
//-->
</script>
<img src="https://82.93.15.132/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi" 
	name="Roermond" width="484" height="396" 
	onLoad='setTimeout("reloadMarktImage()", 50);'

Markus Kison (DE) made an installation with this and three other webcams. See a description and explanation here and on the related link.
See the Markt in Roermond on Google Earth.

Original music from the man who covered lots of country hits on his moog: Country Moog & Nashville Gold. Thanks to Vasco who sent me this gem.
Both compositions were made for a dance performance.
Principal instrumentation includes: Moog IIIc modular, two interconnected Micromoogs, EML 400 Sequencer, Multivox Analog Echo and a Farfisa combo organ.

And the Maastricht counterpart...

"The songs are all from the 70's and are performed entirely (with the exception of the rhythm section) on electronic keyboard instruments, some of which at the time of recording were prototypes."
(from the sleeve notes)

They forgot to mention the electric fuzz and wah-wah guitars.
Amongst the keyboards that were used are ARP Odyssey, Davolisint, VCS 3, Farfisa Syntorchestra, Freeman String Synthesizer and Mellotron 400.
The players were John Keating himself and Francis Monkman of Curved Air.
Despite all of this, it still remains middle of the road music. Although well produced, often used as demo record for hi-fi stereo equipment. Engineered by Peter Vince.



Side one:
1 Love's theme
2 Touch me in the morning
3 You are the sunshine of my life
4 Eye level
5 Dreaming

Side two:
1 Never never gonna give you up
2 You're so vain
3 The show must go on
4 Vadi via
5 Where you lead
