That double bass drum breakdown is grinding with pure power. It sill holds that ethereal synth beauty but behind the smile are large sharp teeth barely holding back a menacing growl. Missing in Stars – Hold me Now ( Thompson Twins) – This I fell in love with less from how different it was from the original and more how different it was from the usual vocal style of Dan Guenther. ![]() A completely different vibe from the original but one I will always hear in this song now. Classic Danny Elfman darksynth bop was stretched into a misty translucence like a funeral dirge which matches perfectly with the title. He always finds a really fresh take and makes the song his own. The Dead Shall Walk Remixes: Volume 6 | Microwaved ()ĭoors in the Labyrinth – Dead Man’s Party ( Oingo Boingo) – I’ve heard a few cover songs now from Pittsburgh doom folk artist Josh Loughrey. Gabe is well known for his collaboration and remix work, so this cover really highlights his talents. The vocals have a cool gang style doubling punk flavor. Des Moines Iowa artist Gabe Wilkinson did a wonderful flip of the script with this grungy wall of sound pushing forward across hot sand. It lived in a non-stop rotation in my head. Microwaved – So Alive ( Love and Rockets) – I was obsessed with this song when it was in heavy rotation on MTV. The cadence on the vocal delivery is spot on with such lovely contrast to the original. Elegant beauty with fairy fire intensity. SU – Smothered Hope ( Skinny Puppy) – I hadn’t heard a ton from Ursa Minor and Sarah Emilie out of Montreal, but I adore the fact they did a Skinny Puppy cover among a lot of synthpop so far. Betty X in particular has done a great job of shouting out from the rooftops about this compilation. Feels very true to the original while turning the chaos up to 11. Betty X – Hit me with your Best Shot ( Pat Benatar) – So here you had Charles playing bass, Betty X lashing vocals like a whip crack, Tim Pethtel on guitar, Christopher Rodriguez on synths turning the pop classic into an acid static club banger. The vocals do a nice homage while adding a bit more whisper and smoke. I really like the sax solo synth breakdown.
