ORTOPILOT / KATE McGILL: Sound Of The Underground (Girls Aloud)

These two work so well together:

ORTOPILOT: Black Rain

ortoPilot's (Matt Hutchison) video for his original song "Black Rain". He says "This is a tune I was working on but decided to take it off the album. Here's a pointless video. Enjoy!!" If this is left off the album because it's not up to scratch, then this is going to be a pretty good album.

ORTOPILOT / NSG: Review

One of the most impressive YouTube channels around at this time belongs to Manchester-based musician ortoPilot. The range of talent on display here is truly stunning. His cover versions are flawless; a number of his original songs are hits waiting to happen, and the video production is flawless. 'what's the point...' and 'Stay One more Day' are soulful ballads; 'Jolly Good Fun' written with fellow YouTuberNSG (seperate entry to follow) carries a mental health warning: After one listen this song will be a permanent fixture in the song zone of your brain. I always thought the Stylophone was an underrated instrument. Allow yourself plenty of time to browse this channel - just about every song here warrants repeated playing. ortoPilot is without a doubt one of my tips for the top in 2010.

ORTOPILOT: Short Straw

A bit incestuous perhaps, but I love ortoPilot's cover of Kate McGill's "Short Straw":

ORTOPILOT: Everybody's Talkin'

ortoPilot's cover of Nilsson's "Everybody's Talkin". It really does float along on the summer breeze:
