"Fascination Street" by The Cure, keyboard synth cover, play along

The namesake for our Cure tribute band, we started the band because I was messing around one day in practice with our original band and I started playing the bass line to this song just for grins. We all loved The Cure, and the drummer joined in and the singer sang it, and our tribute band was born. We played the Mixed Up version intro just to mix it up a bit; I play that intro here, and then I trigger the background ambient noise sequence we had playing behind us that pervades the song (credit the background sequence to the our singer, he owned a Korg Trinity and new how to program my Triton for that kind of thing way better than I did).

I played keys in the band though because our 2nd guitarist wanted to play bass and I love keys anyway. I use a Korg Triton, and amazingly my old floppy still has all the sound mapping (sequences, in Triton-speak).

I co-founded a Cure tribute band about 15+ years ago called Fascination Street, based out of Seattle, WA. We loved playing The Cure's music and stayed together for about 8 years. I then moved on to my current band, Nite Wave (new wave 80's cover). I haven't played these Cure songs since then, but I want to share the patches and sounds I used as the keyboardist of the band (I'm mainly a bass player, but love keys too), and I thought it would be fun to play along with the Disintegration album since we did every song on it.

All credit to Robert Smith and the members of The Cure for crafting such an amazing song and album for the world, thank you guys!
