Ogamiltto70's suggestion is great along with this excellent video. I've come here to also request a track to reconstruct, if you think it's worthy that is.. 3V - Heart Of The Beat.. still makes me do Wondersaults. Dan Hartman, Jellybean Benitez and Michael Hutchinson = Boom I guess it may be a stretch to emulate the vocals :D Great work, Claudio

Nice. May I make a suggestion? I think that one day soon you should make a "reconstruction" video on Jan Hammer's _Crockett's Theme._ It was kept alive on dance floors and covered by synth artists through the Nineties, Two Thousands, Twenty-Tens up to today in the Twenty-Twenties and I believe that it has been important in driving the renewed interest in the instrumentation and sounds of the Eighties that we're hearing so much of these days. It has certainly stood the test of time. So why not give it the "reconstructed" treatment: the chord progression, the melody, the rhythms, what instruments were used, the whole nine yards due a classic of electronic music? That's my request. Please consider it.

@SpamMouse Жыл бұрын

Nice idea.

@80ssynthfan48 Жыл бұрын

I wasn't aware it had been covered throughout the ages. There is no doubt in my mind that Jan Hammer is one of the biggest driving influences in the emergence of synthwave/retrowave, although this is an educated guess.

On dance floors? Never heard this in any dance floor at this era or even in the 90's etc... It's a great track, but not for the dance floor.

Ah "Da Da Da" from Trio - so iconic. One song from our so called NDW era (Neue Deutsche Welle - in english: the new german wave). What only few people know: Trio was produced by Klaus Voormann (a good old friend of the beatles, designed the "Revolver" cover, played in Lennons Ono Band and so on) But apart from that fact: The 80s are the best music era IMO!

@NullStaticVoid Жыл бұрын

Trio "Da Da Da" was a huge underground track. In the 80's it was always played on college radio, in new wave/goth dance clubs etc. Even into the 90's you would hear it at industrial clubs.

@onesong2001 Жыл бұрын

It was also absolute crap. PS. I owned a Casio VL tone

@sideraone Жыл бұрын

Da Da Da was part of the "Neue Deutsche Welle", which was very popular in Germany in 1981 and 1982. Other songs of the "NDW" are for example "Fred vom Jupiter" or "Goldener Reiter". Artists like Nena and Falco became popular during this time.

The kicks are also in the wrong place, and the hi-hat pattern isn’t correct. Other than that it’s nice to hear my first record I ever bought! I must have played it easily over a thousand times, programmed it into 3 different drum machines, and performed it live almost 30 times! Great track which always sounds current.

Awesome. I remember when we got a new TR-505 in our music department in 1986 - I hogged it every week. The Rolands were so easy and intuitive to programme. It had the same Snare sample as in the 707, but the kick on the 707 was much more solid and cut through every mix. Stock / Aitken / Waterman used it all the time and so did Clannad for the "Robin of Sherwood" soundtrack .

You amazing, king of beatz. I remember getting a gig in the 90s around the Balearics on the party boat, we were laying down some sick beats surrounded by drunks and drug fuelled reprobates, Mr Zee was bringing up the bass on trk 4 and this guy threw-up over his mixer, spaghetti hoops and curry, the liquid dripped into the DMX unit and blew all the lights. We ended up fusing the electrics to the boat and were adrift for 10 hours. This weird guy in a captain uniform came up from the gallows shouting at everyone, Mr Z and the drunk had to beat him, we found keys on that captain that accessed other areas of the boat which was unexplainable, totally emptied the alcohol, the coast guard arrived and took us on their ship but Mr Z blew the electrics on that boat by accidently urinating over the bridge controls, adrift without power we found a station on shortwave radio so the beats carried on, when the party boat went under so did the gig, at least we did not have to clean up, we pinned the blame on the mad shouting captain.
