New Chester Road (Revisited) - Taken from the forthcoming album "Sunlight (Revisited)"I started playing the original version of New Chester Road (which was on my 2023 album "Sunlight") live at my gigs last year but wanted to try it with a more uptempo, electronic feel. Something a bit more in my Kraftwerk, OMD, and early Human League influenced style.The beat I used in the new version reminded me of the one used in the song “The Quiet Men” by Ultravox in the John Foxx era (one of my favourite songs). I then ended up trying to replicate the stuttering bass line which sounds similar to the one performed by Chris Cross in The Quiet Men. When I heard that Chris had died, I felt that I wanted to pay my own tribute to him. Rather than do a cover version of an Ultravox song, this feels like a more personal thing to do and put out a song which is very much inspired by one of his classic bass lines and influential style.
