Certainly a saucy one

Ok, calm down.

Sure 😂

I bet you heard this once and made this claim.

@@alanduncan1980 Lol the product Madonna was very hot in those days fresh on the scene the late 70's & 80's were theeeeeeeeeeeee golden age for electroinc synth dance music the battle edging out but also fusing the great Disco era. What a time!!! You just had to get 'into the groove' - shame Madonna became a Hollywood Echo chamber to sell her soul to the devil as she aged like a worn out leather Baphomet suite from MFI & Lee Longlands cast off furtniture (oooh controversial lol). Still I played her first LP album to death at the time, perfect to get you in the mood before a night out on the town and clubbling when you didnt need to remortgage to buy a full roiund of drinks or show your DNA scanned like a product code a vax certificate cash was king. I wouldnt' say I was 'Mad on her' but the Catholic church were 'virgin' on being ridiculous to be embarassed by her Top of the Pops dance routine with hairy legs & armpits if I recall no sweat.

Indeed! Not enough credits nowadays either...

👍🏻💯

She ripped them off, basically. Treated the writers of Like A Virgin with no respect on their first opportunity to meet. Disgusting considering it was the track launched her into the stardom. Vile woman.

Not really. This is just simple pop

@@argi0774 "simple" lol

Sounds and musicians were better! That’s finally starting to happen again

Thanks so much Woody! ^^

couldn't agree more!

Praise indeed coming from Woody piano Shack !

@@petercarrington948 Woody who?

Me too!!!

Pre vogue for me!

Yep it hits good with a nice sub

Go listen to a load of old 80's pop music. You'd be suprised just how much of it has these funky bass lines.

Stephen bray was the producer ….he also did “causing a commotion” and “express yourself” for her

@@Patrick3183 Thanks for that insight. Just listened to those 2 songs. Killer music and evolution of style. Without shading all the work on "Into the Groove".

@@Patrick3183 As well as papa don’t preach and a few others

This piece is credited with introducing house music to the mainstream. PS: Sorry, no, it was _Vogue_ I was thinking of.

I just think it’s cool that it’s basically just a break beat. Man, music was just so much cooler back then. I mean, this is a pop song. And it’s friggin’ cool! Hip hop was something new. It wasn’t completely overrun by the vultures. It hadn’t yet been made a mockery of. I’m not only glad I was alive then, I’m glad I was a child in NYC of all places. It was during the 80’s what San Francisco was during the 60’s. The epicenter of cultural movements. You could feel the energy. Nowadays you can barely even see traces of that. Still a vibrant city, but nothing like it was when Madonna could be heard all over the place.

It is indeed from the minimoog... but all these analog synths can produce extremely similar sounds. I'm liking the sound the Juno here more, but that could be a lot of factors other than the synth, from processing to just pure loudness.

Minimoog could make sense - it defo can sound like that - but it would be (to my simple opinion) weird in an aesthetic & technological perspective. The song was produced with toptier technologies of the moment centered around a MSQ700, so rather MIDI, DCB and timecode sync ; typically what a Minimoog doesn't have. Lots of the tracks were sampled with an Emulator II, I sometimes believe the bass would have been sampled too, which would give this super rigid sound. The Minimoog phases out a lot when you play it, it can't be that regular! If the original producer says it was a Minimoog, then I'd rather think it was a sampled one x) But as the other instruments were Obis and Junos only, it seemed logical the bass would come from a 106 too...

jellybean??? into the groove 😮

@@GuyGamer1 its not the minimoog, doesn't sound like a moog at all..... it was made with the Super Jupiter MKs70 my friend.....

JellyBean never produced that song. It was Steve Bray who produced it.

Yahuuu thanks :D Actually it was straight to my lil Scarlett 6i6 at that moment ^^ Probably sounds a bit better than the original recording because my sidechain amounts were stronger than on the original song - that has apparently no sidechain (sounds like bus compressors but no other glue things)

@@Valmont2001 If you want it even phatter check out the KK editions n2 the groove acid version ;)

Agreed! I also think this sounds a lot better than the original. Much more 3D and more clarity.

@@Valmont2001 Focusrite interfaces are da bomb!

Nothing cheesy about the unadulterated electronic beauty of vintage analog synths. They got ditched during the digital age because they couldn’t accurately emulate “real” instruments; they always sounded electronic, always like … synths? But I think now most of us realize that the fact that they couldn’t sound like “real” instruments is the whole point. The pure, raw electronic sound of analog synths is beautiful.

No time for useless speech 8)

@@Valmont2001100 Thumbs up. Thank You.

Since you want to see it more, why not replay it until your heart's content? Do it! Set a record for most 'replays'. DO IT!

That's what sequencers are for

@@AnthonyRochester lol!!!!! Flock of Seagulls were one of the first bands to use sequencers live.....such a tremendous invention, it is the heart of my MIDI studio......drummers HATE playing along with sequencers, because now, you have to keep perfect rhythm....fortunately, with mine, I can break the song down into various parts so you can keep your concentration up better as you perfect each section...of course, playing LIVE you don't have that luxury..

@@DrGargani OK I don't actually know if Madonna's band would have used sequencers live or not, are you saying they didn't?

@@AnthonyRochester honestly Anthony, I don't know.....the reason I do know about the Flock is because I was in on the synthesizer revolution back in the early 80s and used to read up on a lot of the groups and what they did...I have bought so many of these keyboards in my days, but that was the beginning back then and it was a revelation. I had a unique opportunity to speak with Mike Score, the head guy of the Seagulls and discuss what he did.

👍

Thank you! I'm gonna go look up that track now 😊👍

This is where the ability to slow the vid down to .25X speed really helps.
