Είναι δύσκολο η διασκευή ενός all-time classic να σταθεί στο ύψος του πρωτότυπου. Κι ακόμα κι αν το πετύχει, είναι το ίδιο δύσκολο να λάβει τη δέουσα αναγνώριση – υποθέτω αυτός είναι ο λόγος που η συγκεκριμένη, συγκλονιστική διασκευή από τον Jimi Tenor του Gary Numan classic έχει ακουστεί ελάχιστα. Το track δεν περιέχεται σε κανένα άλμπουμ του Φινλανδού ηλεκτρονικού παραγωγού, συνθέτη & multi-instrumentalist. Βρίσκεται αποκλειστικά στη συλλογή – tribute στον Numan με τίτλο Random (1997). Κάτω : ο Gary Numan live από την ταινία Urgh! A Music War – 1982. 🟡 🟡 It’s difficult for a cover of an all-time classic to live up to the original. And even if it succeeds, it’s equally difficult for it to receive proper recognition – I assume that’s the reason why this particular, stunning cover by Jimi Tenor of Gary Numan’s classic has been heard so little. The track doesn’t appear on any album by the Finnish electronic producer, composer & multi-instrumentalist. It can be found exclusively on the Numan tribute compilation titled Random (1997). Below: Gary Numan live from the movie, Urgh! A Music War – 1982.

Down in the park with the mech men
Meet the machines that play kill by numbers
Down in the park with a friend called Five
I was in a car crash or was it the war?
But I’ve never been quite the same
Little white lies like I was there
Come to the zone, it’s a place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans trying to run
I’ll act as a right machine
I’ll go outside if I look the other way
You wouldn’t believe the things they do
Down in the park with the zombies
Death, death, death until the sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine
We are not lovers, we are not romantics
We are here to serve you
We do our own face but the words never change
