Scritti Politti (Moog Bass Along)


YouTube via Geeljasjes | February 15, 2011 |
See third paragraph below for other synths used.
"Finally I got myself to do a bass along video to the best Funk/Pop album from the 80's. I found it very difficult to do this one, as the arrangements and sounds are impossible to replicate. I also couldn't make up my mind which track to pick, so I did them all (well most of 'm)

If I were to be marooned on a deserted island and I was allowed to only bring one CD with me, Cupid & Psyche 85 would be the one. This album is unparalleled. The whole production is just incredible and every single track is brilliantly put together.
I don't know what these guys were thinking at the time, but I still have no clue how they got it to sound this tight, fat and dynamic. That combined with amazing songs and lyrics, this album will never bore.

I used Logic to construct the whole backing track, using vocal samples from re-mixes and Fairlight CMI samples from JJ Jeczalik's Art Of Sampling CD. Drums are Addictive Drums, both acoustic drums and Reel Machines. The Miles Davis trumpet comes from the Korg TR-Rack. Guitar sounds are all Logic. All the analog synth sounds are Prophet-5 and Jupiter-8.

Songs included in the Medley are:
The Word Girl
Small Talk
Absolute
Perfect Way
Wood Beez
Hypnotize
Perfect Way (reprise piano solo)
Love Of A Lifetime (Chakakhan)"
