A cover of the look of love by ABC but with a twist. I sampled my old Casio VL-1 mini keyboard and my Mattel Synsonics electronic drum kit. Both of these units are toys which were released turn of the 1980s (1979 and 1981 respectively) and they sound pretty rubbish... but with a bit of processing magic they can sound fresh and bubbly. Just listen to that snare drum! I wish the real kit sounded like that all the time... oh well.
Enjoy.

Oh wow Ben, this is amazing. I could not stop smiling whilst listening to it. Every phrase has a great surprise.
An absolutely brilliant take on the original and with a reggae twist.
...Makes me want to get a VL-1 now.

Mad props for making the best out of nothing!
