Welcome To The Machine Tribute To Pink Floyd - MWRatridge

Description : I have been working on this colossal monster since February of this year and I finally feel it is ready. Building it from the ground up was a task but I feel I have risen to the enormous challenge of one of Floyd's biggest songs.
It's all me - all 40 active tracks of it. Used machine sound loops from Apple, tympani and about 30 synth tracks. Me on vocals, acoustic guitars and bass.
Comments are always appreciated.

Always enjoy me some Floyd. Yeah I could see how any Floyd song would be daunting to cover but especially this one. Nice job though. Solid sound going on.

Hey Mark, Dude you blew me away with this cover man !
Its not everyday that someone takes on such a classic track as this. Its obvious that you put a ton of work into it and the finished product is undoubtedly very cool. With these covers, unlike some people who are so critical at how they compare to the original, I do like to see a pretty close reproduction with the music but also enjoy the differences in how you make it your own. My hats off to you bro, I love it! The one idea that did come to mind as I listened it was maybe a cool modern twist would be to add some vocoded effect to the vocals. I think that's where you will receive the most critique on this. Great work regardless, I thoroughly love to see the cover tracks and this is one of the best examples in quite a while.

Wow ty Neo,
I stewed over the vocals for a while....what to do, what to do.
I appreciate the compliments my friend. Definitely the biggest cover song I have done yet....and far more difficult than when I covered Stairway To Heaven.
This was more about personal accomplishment for me and I really feel good about it.
Mark.

Wow Mark!!!!! what a monster of a project to take on. I can hear why you have worked on it for long, it definitely shows. I am very impressed with this. Good to hear some new stuff from you as well. Not sure what else to say but I impressed. Thanks for sharing with us.

Kyle,
TY my friend. When I began it was like looking up at a mountain...I moved one pebble at a time and just have listened to it over and over about 500 times.

Mark, brother, I am so stoked you did a cover of this track. It's one of my all time favorites of PF. This is really, really well done, but that is nothing new. Great instrumentation, and the mix is just solid as it gets. Had to grab a download (thanks for that), and added it to my MWR collection.

Outstanding! Happy holidays to you and the family Mark. Stay warm dude. Hope all is well.

Bear,
Thanks for coming by for a listen and DL. TY also for the compliments. I really took this one serious. The synth solos were the most enjoyable element to do in this puppy. Merry Christmas to you as well my friend.
Mark.

Description : A reimagining of my original track Drive which was uploaded some time ago. This time a female vocal has been added with the help of AceStudio and the track updated somewhat to a hopefully better standard.

Enjoy!

Description : I wanted to create a Euro dance anthem with a hip hop beat and a lower bpm than the traditional 128 to 136 bpm range. This is the beat I created. No AI has been used in this track. I created everything myself. It is a purely instrumental beat. I used Rapid Synth for the euro lead sound and the melody has been composed by me. The drums are a loop from this site.

Description : "All my songs are inspired by the work of the bands King and Jester and Kukryniksy. I wrote the lyrics for this track, and the music was created by artificial intelligence. The lyrics are original; I wrote them myself. I don't have the ability to create music for this track, but I hope you'll at least like the lyrics." I'm presenting these tracks to you in the form of a demo - this is what they might sound like; I want you to evaluate my lyrics.
