Another cover version for project 'Arkadia' pub electronica duo. 
This time we've got a version Bjork's heavy/industrial 'locrian mode' ode to her lazy brother 'Army of Me'. Amazing to think it's almost 25 years old. 
Lots of synth arpeggios and hits mostly provided by Synapse DUNE VST software synthesizer.

COVER VERSIONS/BACKING TRACKS: The Cars 'Drive' RnB Mix

Kind of an RnB version of Drive with some drum loops instead of an 80s drum machine sort of feel. 

This is the pure backing track without any instrumental top line. 

Available to download from my hearthis.at page. Just click the little download symbol. 




Here is the version with the guide instrumental 'vocal' line so you know where the vocal lines are. I think it pretty much follows the original version.
