I think, you are, somehow, know my record collection, Klaus, and you pick songs from there to remix 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Thank you! Recently, I have uncovered Bela Lugosi's films on utube and I enjoy very much watching them. Black and white heaven.
I admire how much you respect us "First Generation Goth's". Klaus and I are both "Original Goth's" that go way back from the early 1980's, when being Goth meant to represent an Underground Subculture and "Bela Lugosi's Dead" was our anthem, but it seemed to stand for many long decades, afterwards. Thank you, Cole...... !!!!
@@spinglasshydra Very kind of you. Primarily, Goth music - along with metal - is what I considered the 'resistance' against the fizzy pop ubiquity of Stock, Aikin and Waterman and dance that took over in the late 80s. At that time I was 'goth adjacent' (if that's such a thing) as I was a huge fan of All About Eve (described at the time as Hippy Goths). 1979 is my favourite year for music.
Brave of you to dare to create this masterpiece... but no problem for you! The dulcimer in the song works very well and gives the piece an interesting component! Well done, Klaus !!
Who would have thought an iconic goth track could be improved but klaus my friend you have excelled yourself again ….. will be playing this track and many more of your dark tunes at my annual Halloween party this post is brilliant 👍📻👌🍻🙏🏴🤘🍺🇬🇧🎧😎
here's another wonderful remix of another immortal classic. have you ever thought of making a collection of all these fantastic remixes and publishing them in an official limited edition release? that would be great ! ! !
Great idea. I did contact one music label and they said getting approval from the various licence holders would be difficult and possibly expensive and they were not keen. Maybe I should try someone else. Food for thought. Thanks for listening.
@@KDEADS Indeed it might cost too much you have and they are right about that. But still, hope is always the last to die! Keep up the good work, your Rmx are phenomenal.
Klaus, I'm able to detect how much effort and love that you've done in honoring our Gothic roots. When "Bela Lugosi's Dead" came out in 79' it struck the heart of every "First Generation Goth" because someone (Peter Murphy) decided there needed to be a calling card of sorts; better yet, a banner that finally established that "We are Goth"..... !!!! 'The Underground Subculture'™ has had multiple, if not, multiple loads of venerated re-mixes of this anthem; but, I've never have heard anything close to perfection. I know your a perfectionist Klaus, but this remixed song has relocated to "The Best Remix" award for "Bela Lugosi's Dead"......!!!! It's so rich with a new dimensional vibrancy, plus the dulcimer is an excellent touch, and even re-mastering Peter's voice so that there are actual modulations, separations, and those lingering distorted vocal's shouting at the top of Peters voice, is as it should have always been done a long time ago. Y How many charities, companies, and organizations like LGBTQ+IA Rights distinguish their personal communities' by denoting a flag of some sort ― Wearing black is not some fashion statement; but rather, we wear black just like wearing a flag. We're instantly recognized by ordinary people, or those who are unbelievably distinguishable other subcultures that originated and derived so much from our sovereignty. EMO's, Cyber-punk's, Dark-waver's originate from within our community via our children, or even that strange family aunt, cousin, uncle who everyone labeled as "weird" got you interested in Goth music. This banner song is our heritage....!!!! ― It was always going to take someone, from the "Original Gothic Scene" to have this quality, this amount of high intensity much like our first dark kiss (whomever that may have been, but usually somewhere in the back of the club), and the awareness of oneness within our community. Pure perfection Klaus.... (Peter is always doing something, but I'll leave an email with him. There's no guarantee he'll answer back, but maybe, just maybe he's drop by here)
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and deep insights into the goth genre. It is much appreciated and indicates top me that what I am doing is worthwhile. Thank you once again. We wear black with pride!
@@KDEADS I use to detest other people who wear black as a fashion statement. During the 2010's everyone was wearing black on black clothes; but, it forced me to buy better looking combat-boots, I wore even more silver than usual; which, I bought and added to my extended collection of boots, with a few handcrafted full length tapestry overcoats that were hand made at "Shrine of Hollywood" and "Shrine of Melrose" and I've always advocated for other Goth-people to just forget that "Hot-Topic" bullcrap. Remember making our own Goth outfits, Klaus.....??? If you were like me, then you probably had to cut your fishnet stockings and cleverly recycled them into fishnet tops ― Right....??? "Bela Lagosi's Dead" will undoubtedly remain "out anthem" long after we've both been buried, except for me where I'm getting cremated and scattered at sea, from my hometown beach in Santa Cruz, California. Yet still, Klaus, you've added yourself to an impressive number of bands who've attempted to reinvigorate this song ― Each with their own flair and attitude imbued from within. You're always on the right track, of course ― Klaus, did you liftoff Peter's vocals and the reapplied them in working order? Plus, I've wanted to ask you about how much time does it take you to spend on a remix. I'm asking because some people say like it "Only a day or two at minimum". Which, I feel are insecure people and it took them much longer, because it sounds overworked. Tell me what your process is, if you want to try to illustrate it, because we mortals and non-musician types just want to know?
I remember bleaching a jacket...that's probably as far as my clothes making skills got to. You ask a good question about how I do it and how long it takes to do these remixes. Unsurprisingly, some take longer than others. I may work on something over several days while working on other things at the same time. It's a very iterative process and it's important to stop listening to something for a while and come back to it later with a clear mind. In short, I extract the stems from the original recording using FL Studio. I check the drum track to get the BPM and then use the extracted vocal track and I build the song normally with the drums first, then the bass, then the chords, then the melodies and sound effects. I do use samples from the originals on a small number of occasions if there are unique sounds that I would struggle to recreate, but most of the time I recreate everything from scratch. I have never tried to capture how long it takes end to end, but in some cases it will take many hours over many days. Some songs are very difficult to do because the tempo is not metronomic - this tends to be older recordings before click tracks or drum machines were used. The song needs to be mixed and mastered so that it is compatible with volume settings on youtube. I really enjoy lifting the lid on the old songs to see how things have been put together. One of the most intriguing bands I have done is the early Human League material. They were genuine innovators. I hope this helps.
@@KDEADS Thank you so much for the explanation Klaus. I remember when "drum machines" were first used and how some people hated the result, but my ears are finely tuned to hear the slightest irregularity. It's quite unusual for me to find a human that can keep up the beat ― I know it's not easy. There are not many bands who have the skills to arrange offbeat drums. One of my favorite songs is by 'Love and Rockets' named "Mirror People", those descending cords between 2:08 - 2:40 are Heaven to my ears, but I also know they do it with their fantastic guitars. ruclips.net/video/O0uD20h9mbY/видео.html I can't keep the beat at all. I don't know why? I blame my mother wouldn't let me play the piano, when the piano teacher lived next door to us. If I had been trained, then it probably wouldn't be a problem. A group of my Goth-friends got together about 6 months ago and they handed me a drum to keep time. Needless to say, I threw everyone off, so they all stopped playing and I became extremely embarrassed by my lacking ability. My best friend Romeo ever since the 6th grade, said: "Dude, after all this time and working at Sony for as long as you have, you can't keep a simple beat." I do consider 'Love and Rockets" above most other bands and I use them as my standard-bearer regarding drum and bass, with the exception of the Cocteau Twins. Now, the Cocteau Twins didn't have a drummer, but instead they used a drum machine, in fact, it was something Robin Guthrie insisted the "drum and synthesizer loop" were obvious. He didn't want people to make assumptions about their process, so the drum machine was very prevalent and some friends asked me what it was and why was it there. ".... tempo is not 'metronomic' ": That's a very nice word to use, but can you give me an example of a song which does this. Of course, Goth music has always been well known for doing things "out of the ordinary". Yet, nothing immediate comes to my mind? As always, I thank you Klaus for entertaining my questions..... !!!!
You must be good at your job to have stayed as an employee at Sony with all the changes that have impacted the music and film industry. A few songs that lose tempo and are not metronomic are Kate Bush "Wuthering Heights", Abba "Gimme Gimme Gimme", Bauhaus "BLD", Human League "Empire State Human". One song by Japan called "Nightporter" which I expected to lose time due to there being no back beat was actually totally on time and also "Ghosts" was bang on. I am guessing there used something to ensure they did not lose time. David Sylvian is a perfectionist after all so I should have known. Songs go off tempo for different reasons no doubt - either using a drummer without a click track to guide them or a dodgy drum machine that loses time over a period of minutes. One band from the 80s that I have spoken to recently knew that their drummer and bassist lost time so he insisted on there being a sequenced melody throughout the song to ensure time was kept. There's nothing wrong with the old songs losing time - we probably won't notice it unless you compare it with a metronomic beat.
Your "tone selection" of the melodies was absolutely spot on, I find them sensational - they trigger a lot of things in me that I like and your overall interpretation with the video "hits the mark".. Klaus thank you very much for that 🎼🥀🖤🍷
It sounds like modern Gary Numan (circa 2019-today) takes a turn at covering Bauhaus, except Numan has unfortunately all but abandoned the territory he pioneered on the Pleasure Principle while I can hear, in the under current of beats and melodies in your remix, some of those irresistible electronic hooks.
It's rude to even leave a bad comment, so why even take the time to write anything at all. I hope he doesn't do "Killing Joke" also, because they're not that wonderful. Thanks, Paul
Sorry to hear that you don't like it. Without the originals, where would we be? That said, I like to revisit the originals, and there is no crime in doing that after 40 years. Like with anything, the listener can always switch off. The Pandy's Are Coming....
