Wide Receiver (The Sisters of mercy-cover)

Written by Andrew Eldritch. No finished version of Wide receiver has ever been leaked. Wide receiver was demoed, most likely by Andrew Eldritch alone, and there are notes the song was planned as a b-side to "This corrosion". After the lineup at the time had split up the follow-up album came to be called Floodland instead of the planned "Left on mission and revenge" with mostly new songs. Somewhere along the way Wide receiver was shelved. I have heard 2 edits and none of them have any vocals on the verses. Edit 1 is circa 6 minutes and 46 seconds long.    • The Sisters of Mercy - Wide Receiver   This edit has the format of intro, instrumental verse, chorus 1, instrumental verse, chorus 2, bridge, chorus 3 to fade. Edit 2 is circa 6 minutes and 17 seconds.    • The Sisters of Mercy - Wide Receiver   This edit has the format of intro, instrumental verse, chorus 1, instrumental verse, chorus 1, instrumental verse, intro instrumental verse to fade. My guess on this edit is that it's fan made. I decided to cover Edit 1 since it's happening a little more in that one with chorus 2, bridge and chorus 3. I recorded Wide receiver between 2022-11-26 and 2022-12-02. EZX: Dream Pop (Bitcrush with modified mix) HALion Sonic SE is used for synthbass and synthsteelguitars Toontrack EZmix is used on guitars, bass, synthbass and synthsteelguitars Cubase internal effects along with T-De-Esser plus is used on vocals. A little confession: The guitars on the intro and verses was really hard for me to play so I recorded those guitars 1-2 bars at a time. Repeating each 1-2 bar/bars until it sounded ok and then I added a keyboard (steel guitar) playing the same thing. I double my bass guitar with a synthbass to get a really FAT bass-sound. ------------------------------------------------ Support my homestudio: Paypal.me: https://paypal.me/forsner Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/forsner Merch: T-shirts and other merch: https://forsner.myspreadshop.se/ DAW: Cubase Elements 12 Drums: Toontrack EZdrummer 3 Guitar: ESP LTD EC-256 Bass: Gibson Les Paul Keyboard: Edirol PC-50 Instagram:   / bebopalucifer   Facebook:   / forsner   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1D1Mx...
