Put up two more songs at my Urört site. One is the old "Talking To a Computer" (which was recommended by Urört, which means it will probably get some airplay)

Then, there is a new one as well. "Change The World" is the first ballad I put on the net, best described as a melodic powerballad of sorts with extremely politically correct lyrics about "the state of the world". Btw. the guitar solo in "Change The World" was by a session player called Narve Vik Strandli. He did an excellent job, and his guitar solo plays a crucial part.

Talking To a Computer will be played on Norwegian Radio tonight. :)

Whoo! Nice. You'd definitely win Eurovision with 'Change The World', Geir, definitely not Norvege nil points. "They have too much weapons" - they do, yes. The intro is *exactly* the moog sound from Abbey Road, too. I'd disagree with the assertion that 'most people think like me' though;).

What's Up With You - I was waiting for a vocoder to come in. You should get one. But v.nice softpop inna ELO/Supertramp stylee. Did someone say Gilbert O'Sullivan on one of your other threads? If so, OTM. Nice sitar.

Just Another Friday Night - this is heavy stuff, Geir : "Ordering a drink/not content with wine/it's got to be spirit/pretty much again" Are you OK? Also did you rhyme "it's got to be spirit" with "it's Friday innit?" I hope so.

Talking To A Computer is my favourite - I have it playing now. Oh WOW - you did that vocoder thing here! Cher! This is a hit - I mean it.

Seriously i enjoyed this stuff Geir. Nice one!

I'd disagree with the assertion that 'most people think like me' though;).

Oh, I am just saying the same stuff all politicians (particularly the ones not in government - i.e. not elected by the people last time around) do during their election campaigns ;)

And, btw. Regarding Eurovision, I guess Norway will possibly do quite well with the funny and highly self-ironic glam metal we enter this year anyway :)

Uploaded another song to Yousendit. This is sort of the song I have gotten the most positive feedback on from "the man on the street", that is, normal not-particularly-music-geeky friends and relatives that have heard it, plus the people in the studio that I worked with. A very mainstream oriented ballad, with lyrics dedicated to George Harrison, that according to those who hear it is supposed to be the strongest out of the material on my demo:

I do not intend to put it on Urørt, but this link will last for seven days:

Hongroe is producing again, 14 years on from "Talking To a Computer" etc.

Particularly pleased with "Impression Overload". Yes, it is about having Asperger's
