  • Instrumental (as always) cover song. Recorded at the first take (thus some timing offsets).
    Gear used:
    Roland JP8000: Reso lead sound.
    Kurzweil PC1x: Rhodes and piano sounds
    Backtrack previously recorded, track by track, by me, including Roland Promars MRS-2 (bassline) and Roland JX-8P (extra synth layers and pads).
    Original song composed by Ashley Ingram, Leee John, Steve Jolley & Tony Swain.
    Performed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bará.

    Llusion, illusion
    Illusion, illusion
    Searching for a destiny that's mine
    There's another place, another time
    Touching many hearts along the way, yeah
    Hoping that I'll never have to say
    It's just an illusion (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
    Illusion (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
    Illusion
    Follow your emotions anywhere
    Is it building magic in the air?
    Never let your feelings get you down
    Open up your eyes and look around
    It's just an illusion (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
    Illusion (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
    Illusion
    Could it be that... it's just an illusion?
    Putting me back in all this confusion?
    Could it be that. it's just an illusion, now?
    Could it be that... it's just an illusion?
    Putting me back in all this confusion?
    Could it be that. it's just an illusion, now?
    Could it be a picture in my mind?
    Never sure exactly what I'll find
    Only in my dreams I turn you on
    Here for just a moment then you're gone
    It's just an illusion (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
    Illusion (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
    Illusion
    Illusion
    (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah) Illusion
    (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah) Illusion
    (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah) Illusion
    Could it be that... it's just an illusion?
    Putting me back in all this confusion?
    Could it be that. it's just an illusion, now?
    Could it be that... it's just an illusion?
    Putting me back in all this confusion?
    Could it be that... it's just an illusion, now?
    Could it be that?
    Putting me back
    Could it be that?
    Now, Could it be that... it's just an illusion?
    Putting me back in all this confusion
    Could it be that... it's just an illusion, now?
    Could it be that (ooh yeah) it's just an illusion?
    Putting me back (ow) in all this confusion?
    Could it be that (yeah) it's just an illusion, now?
    Could it be that... it's just an illusion?
    Could it be that (yeah, yeah, yeah) in all this confusion
    Could it be that... it's just an illusion, now?

    Always interesting to hear these great covers without vocals, so much more focus on the synth and epic bass line :)

    Well done José you nailed it. I thought the JP 8000 did not sound Correct so went away and listened to original track. You were spot on 👍
    All you have to do now is wear the gold Spandex suit .
    The deep bass line funk sound was their signature sound ,-very talented guys-
    Hope to hear more of your great live streams best regards dx5

    • @DX5

      Thanks Brian, but was made on a hurry really, Some timing issues at playing :D. The JP is not 100% as the original, but got quite close, have to say (edit: original sound is constantly filtered on and off, or kind of phaser, but I went for the easy way :) ). Cheers DX.
