Dadrian Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) On UB40’s 1983 cover of Neil Diamond’s “Red Red Wine” I always notice the same DX7 sound from the melody of “Crockett’s Theme” just before and during the chorus. The DX7 was everywhere in the 80s, and you hear many many of the same patches in many many songs, but to my knowledge, these are the only two songs that used that sound. Anyone? Side note: that video has 182M views to date, and the top comment is: “If you were 1 when this song was released, UB40 now” Edited January 19, 2023 by Dadrian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 I got myself a pair of Sony bluetooth headphones (WH-1000XM5) and been listening to mostly dance stuff to test them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like them so far? yeah amazing, I'm using public transport to get to work and finding they cancel everything and keep my ears warm. sound performance is really good, they're twice as expensive as any headphones i've used previously. would strongly recommend. aesthetically pleasing and fit well too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy his score for “Weekend at Bernie’s”—a classic 80s cheesy comedy. This is a very cool track. Thanks for sharing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalci Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Its so interesting how the 80s was somehow the decade of the fantasizing about the future. Maybe that was the time when the tech boom really started to happen, with Laserdisc,VHS, Cellular Telephone, digital synth era also began at the time. A lot of new things, a revolution that made ppl dream about possible future visions 2016 Edited April 19, 2023 by Kalci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) remember dancing to this one as a kid. I've a vague memory of it being sampled as a tv show theme.. all the comments on the video mention Brian May on guitar.

Any band called Living in a Box that had a song called “Living in a Box” on an album called Living in a Box is okay with me! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) parts of this (2:30 - 3:20) make me think if Jan Hammer was in his prime today it might sound like this. Edited April 27, 2023 by Marc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
