New Order’s Iconic Blue Monday Played on Vintage Casio Instruments

First of all, I didn’t know Casio made some any different kinds of electronic instruments back in the day — he used more than 15 of them to record this. I laughed out loud when the guitar part came in.

I didn’t do anything to significantly change the sound of the instruments. I only used basic effects, such as equalization, reverb, delay, chorus, compression, etc.

And also, this is just fun…Blue Monday is an all-time favorite song of mine; here’s the original:
