Jesus On E's Audio Re-make - Ableton Live Playback

Following 21 years and 3 days since its original release at the Digital Symposium demo party on the 24th October 1992, I present my remake of the Jesus On E's demo audio!

Recreated and sequenced from scratch using Ableton Live, the majority of sounds and samples have been sourced from the original (or better) sources and span some 80 channels of audio. The remake closely follows the original, with some artistic embellishments and modern production techniques added along the way. The remake slightly exceeds the original's runtime, totalling nearly 28 minutes.

Due to the lack of accompanying visuals which match the audio, I have made a video of the playback in Ableton Live for you to enjoy*.

* Any suggested feelings of elation are completely optional

NB: Critics may argue that this video is more boring than the original demo. The author has considered this argument and has determined that this video is in keeping with the original result.

I'm gonna tell you man, that what you've made had an big impact in Sweden and surely many countries. We had a stupid small and very underground rave scene in the 90's. This kind of music was really not possible to find in record shops when you released this for the Amiga. So it was really gold to get it. We had only heard of the Prodigy and maybe a couple of other artists. We listened to this a lot. It was a great inspiration also for my own music productions. You made a lot to spread the rave/techno/trance music around the world! I think you made more impression than most record labels from that time. Cheers : )

OMG Dude, you have taken me back and kicked me back to the future with this :)
Jesus on E's was always on at our copy parties in the UK, along with 9 fingers etc...

To see what you have done here is amazing and gave me Goosebumps, thank you so much for remaking this classic ❤

I actually bought an external drive to run this all those years ago, great to see and hear for that matter that the original creator of this incredible peace of Amiga history is still with us, happy memories of the most creative time in modern dance music.

Jesus On E’s blew me away. I’ll never forget where i first heard it, round a mates house with the Amiga rigged up to his Kenwood Hi-Fi with his mum yelling at us to turn it down. RIP Howard.

Gotta love the internet age, poking through some of my old Amiga disks and had to see if I could find Jesus on E's on the tube, didn't disappoint, and neither has your remake. Modern Nostalgia. Thanks!

You could perform this set live at a demo party, would be amzing

Holy shit! this takes me back! I had my 1200 wired to my Panasonic VCR, it had editing functions. I taped this and many other Amiga demos and compiled a 4 hour tape. I was friends with a DJ in a local rave club and he displayed my tape looped on the screens in the club. Great times!
Great Mix m8! I found this via the Retromancave link :)

OMG! Thank you for this Echo!! So much time and effort put in to this and the original. Wow. Thank you!

[Kenny-bwcz]

Retro man cave sent me to the original Amiga track and then I found this.... I still have an Amiga and was creating music with computers too when I was younger. You put a lot of work into this... Wow.

I need to show you like nearly 25 years of appreciation for your work. Took this with me on my travels when i was 15-16 and it made me the man I am today :)

[kikencorp]

Holy shit this is a work of love, I had not seen the video of this remake before.

[LuckyLizard]

Holy crap, this is a fantastic remake/update to the original! Love it!

[ayjay]

So many happy memories of turning the lights off and playing this demo on my much-loved A500 despite never having ever listened to anything remotely similar either before or since. Thanks for contributing to those special Amiga years! Even after all this time, listening now, every sample and musical twist and turn feels familiar. Despite its approaching midnight and my need to go to work tomorrow, I'm simply unable to interrupt this epic mod and go to bed! :-D

[louk]

Absolutely amazing! JOEs hugely influenced me over the years!

[DJ-dB]
