All of the perfection of digital signal processing these days, and what makes the track sound 'nice' is the noise, distortion, reduced dynamic range and saturation from an analogue tape recording.

Same with photography, trying to recreate that analogue feel with filters and such. I’ve a £3,500 Sony camera which I put a filter on the front of the lens to stop it being as sharp and have that film look 😂

Hi. Chicago House Head here. I have danced to this so many time. And your channel with this track came up in the algorithm because I was listening to t he original. Your breakdown was fun. And like you I prefer the vocal version. And you're 100% correct in that the tape sound makes the biggest difference! I'm not into this producing thing but thought I'd give it a watch. We sometimes get over protective, us old school folks, and I wanted to make sure it was being represented correctly. LOL Much respect! I did remember that in the U.K. House took off big time back in the 80's. It's so wonderful to see it still alive in some form across the pond. Cheers!

I've tried remaking this several times. One of the problems I initially had is that several of the releases (and KZfaq versions) are "out of tune", as they appear to have been sped up. I think Larry played it in A minor, but the master was varispeeded up so the released version is halfway between A and A sharp. So whenever I tried to play along to the reference track, mine always seemed too "dull" and off key. Larry's drums are also about 50 cents sharper than typical 909 samples which makes them sound a bit more cutting.

A classic. Thanks for breaking this down. The honest simplicity of the time makes the track a tune, the basic technology and the tapes give the tune some style and signature but it’s those simple chords that give it it’s charming almost sorrowful Detroit beauty. It’s the man as much as his machines.

I'm pretty sure the low 'A' isn't played so the progression would be CMaj7 / FMaj7 / Emin7 - but as you have said, the 1st chord ( CMaj7 ) is in 2nd inversion and played as G/B/C/E - it's a pretty common progression and if you play keyboard, it makes sense as the fingers ( no pun intended ) have little work to do. Great vids btw @GyuBeats. Subbed. :)
