Al Corley - Square Rooms [Instr. Cover]

This is my instrumental version of Al Corley’s 1984 hit single ‘Square Rooms’, from his album of the same name, which was published on © Mercury Records and produced by Harold Faltermeyer (of ‘Axel F.’ fame, from the ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ movie soundtrack). The song was written by Al Corley, Peter Woods and Harold Faltermeyer.

Al Corley was a Hollywood actor who is best known for playing Steven Carrington in the first two series (1981-1982) of US TV series ‘Dynasty’. He reprised the role in the 1991 miniseries ‘Dynasty: the Reunion’.

My version was sequenced, recorded and mixed in PreSonus’ Studio One 7 Professional DAW and features the following instruments and effects:

Korg Kronos: all drums,
Yamaha DX7: second synth bass,
Behringer Wave: rhythmic synth sequence on choruses,
Roland Jupiter-X: string pad on choruses,
Sequential Prophet-5: main synth bass, all other synths,
Les Paul & Fender Stratocaster through an Avid Eleven Rack: electric guitars.
