If you read Jack's interview from May 2012, you know that we didn't have much
faith in Space Covers. Do you know why ?
Space Covers was made from popular songs, classics and tv-themes. It is also
an instrumental. Making instrumentals from popular songs is almost certain to
fail. Albums which are like Space Covers hardly ever gains much popularity,
chart positions or anything. Most of the songs have already well known
versions from the melodies you are playing. In order to gain something with
cover album you must improve the original plays. In a way your listeners and
fans like.
No matter, what the movie medias and their reps say about the Space Covers
and it's success, when you make your first albums you should not follow Space
Covers - formula. Our first album Space Waves is far more better sample for the
successful first album.
When you make your first albums, you should play some new or unknown songs
for the singles and to the album. It does not matter very much how they are made
and played.
When new wave came in the late 70's, the songs the punk rockers played for
their albums were usually quite far from smooth and good. The punk rockers were
young people, whose songs and skills were far below the trained stars and
background bands, the big record companies used. And they conquered the hearts
of the music listeners with their music and lyrics.
Rock'n'Roll in the 50's was a very big revolution in the music. Rock'n'roll
beat the big bands, which ruled the music after the second world war. Rock
bands and stars were less skilled, talented and their music wasn't as smooth,
good, and well played as it was with the big bands.
In the 90's rap was much like the punk in the 70's and Rock'n'Roll in 50's.
