Trevor used to be my boss. I worked at Sarm as an electronics engineer, servicing everything from SSL desks to tape machines. This was at the time of Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Grace Jones. Trevor is one of the nicest guys you could meet. Great times, great period of my life.
Firstly Trevor Horn is truely a music producing legend, full credit to Trevor for suffering being interviewed by the living dead of interviewers. Thank god for Trevor's Horns sense of humour and personality, as the interviewer totally killed the conversation throughout this footage.
Not prepared at all. Not engaged at all. That interviewer did not deserve the chance to interview with an icon like Trevor Horn. Thank god for Trevor Horn telling all those interesting facts about his career despite the sloth of an interviewer.
the interviewer is well informed, understands the context of the time periods when the music was made, lets trevor speak and doesn't interrupt him. he was a well equipped moderator. mind yourselves.
GOOD GRIEF! I read some of the comments here about the interviewer and I thought “that’s a bit harsh, surely…” but I’m less than an hour into it, and it’s a tribute to Trevor that he didn’t just walk out (if there wasn’t an audience, maybe he would’ve?!)!🤯
Trevor Horn always was my idol, it makes me sad to see these young people not even knowing who they have the honour to listen to .... another writer is a bit strange, almost rude at times .... I would’ve had a ton of questions for trevor
Fantastic interview considering the interviewer comes across as quite rude and uninterested most of the time. Trevor Horn, one of the greatest producers/arrangers going!
Great interview. Particularly loved all the anecdotal stuff about Malcolm. Still laughing that someone stole Bowie's bag just to freak him out. Hats off to Trevor for giving us The Buggles, The Art Of Noise, Propaganda etc....
Always nice to hear Trevor Horn about music, but really people, when all the music has to be trimmed/edited out that means there should be a change in copyright laws.
It's more consistently amazing than Trevor Horn's other peaks, only 90125 is as good throughout. Welcome to the Pleasuredome is too sprawling, Duck Rock only has a few great tracks, Slave to the Rhythm is just remixes of the greatest single ever.
Horn is such an elite tier producer and sonic visionary, that only Phil Spector or George Martin can be cited in that same league. He is also a warm, witty and wise human being, who constantly during the interview references his late wife who was a huge influence. They clearly were made for one and another. Despite having a total idiot interview him he imparted a lot of his craft to the audience and told some great stories....
Incredible stuff. Horn is such an inspiration. Shame he’s sitting next to a freshly painted wall out to dry. Liven up and appreciate the company you’re with.
"Being singer in Yes was an amazing experience, never to be repeated" he says - And I just discovered the remake version of Yes' 'Fly From Here' album from 2016 with him on lead vocals! 😄😉
The interviewer is totally uninspiring, wooden & uninterested considering he's talking to a legend. How the hell do people like that ever get that job? Looks like he doesn't want to be there & it's impinging his time.
@@benjamindenton I agree with you both and it's not the first time at RB Music, they often have condescendant, even history and discography ignorants dickheads as host. It's a shame and I often wonder if that isn't simply due to a dumbed-down generational problem. He did the interview as a hobby, he actually works in IT.
I was just happy to hear Trevor talk . I would have asked way different questions . Trevor is the missing link between Prog Rock and New Wave . He is a legend.
Couldn't agree more. He killed the vibe more than Malcolm did with The World's Famous Supreme Team. Could listen to Trevor all day, a legend, the interviewer I hope I never have the misfortune to hear ever again. Charisma vacuum and terrible interviewer.
@@II-jv9yx I've just watched that part. 1:58:13 I can't believe the embarrassment, I'm cringing. TH the real gent, continues unflustered for another 35mins? 2:04:56 Yet another friendly hint ignored? 2:20:28 I think he's losing patience now! 2:28:28 He's getting hungry! 2:33:19 Let the poor man go! Cring.
it´s possibly a pathologic cause, something like autism, where the people seem to have no entrance into feeling humor, never laugh and make the people think they are just unappealing. but i can see your point. btw these copyright horror which makes it impossible to play entire songs even in such a discussion really sucks. it´s awful and has to get nullified.
I say hats off to the interviewer who was well prepared, had a great historical roadmap, didn’t get in the way, and enabled 2.5 friken hours of great music history, culture and knowledge.
The interviewer has the charm of a dying plastic plant! 😂 Great Injustice to Trevor Horn, who is not only a great music legend and a very funny and engaging speaker.
@Red Bull Music Academy, please provide a list of all 52 tracks that Torsten Schmidt assembled. The vjdeo description has some, but even the linked lecture page doesn't have the full list.
Lot of unneeded hate at the interviewee here. He's just a chill dude asking questions and letting the other guy do the talking. We need chill people in this crazy world
Ah Trevor Horn...I love the cats who make the record THE RECORD. Some individuals have that thing where you must buy what they produce, then listen on repeat and treasure their projects over time. I dig Seal b/c of the genius production work of Trevor Horn. Their calob might 've been bumpy but how incredible are Seal's albums. Fierce!!!!!!!
Pretty sure he's referring to the Fairlight, you can read the full transcript here for better context www.redbullmusicacademy.com/lectures/trevor-horn-buggles-in-the-bassbin
@Andy JS Well, he mentions "that Malcolm McLaren tape", bits of which he fed into the Fairlight. I'm pretty sure the horn stabs and sampled drums heard throughout the track (in the intro, or especially the build-up before the guitar solo) come from a track by Funk Inc. called 'Kool Is Back.'
at 25:10 what are your opinions on this? i disagree. unless he’s talking about midi syncing across different instruments. I find midi in the box to be pretty stable.
Mc Cartney said T.Horn likes clean sounds and 'corrected' all the little accidents. But that's what makes music 'alive' for P.McCartney. He likes the ''one shot session'' giving a raw material. The corrected version wasn't was he wanted.
In addition to this, it's really quite interesting to hear producer Hugh Padgham talk about his experiences around working with Trevor Horn and YES on their 'Drama' album, in this recent interview and from 13.35 onwards: th-cam.com/video/SQMhhhQhpak/w-d-xo.html 🙂
41:30 actually Buffalo Gals was not the first British Rap record for sure. Wikka Wrap by Evasions came before Buffalo gals in 1981. Even Wham - "Wham Rap" came out 6 months before Buffalo Gals.
Trev' reminds me a lot of Jack Black in 'School Of Rock' singing about 'The Legend Of The Rent' when he's imitating Trevor Rabin's original 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart' demo! Classic! 😄
@@biancachristie There's no way a Spaniard would have that kind of accent. His name's Torsten Schmidt. daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/author/torsten-schmidt
Great interview. Great interviewer , I don't think a lot of the people posting negative comments about the interviewer appreciate what a difficult gig this was . The type which would ask what's your favourite colour trev.
When Art of Noise came out I thought they had invented a new genre of music and would launch a thousand imitators, but alas, it didn't happen, mmm...White people.
The interviewers reactions to the Buffalo Gals stories are increasingly unbearable to watch, also his rather meh opinion on the song is not something I care for. Next time put someone there that is actually interested in hearing stories like Trevor's instead of this spoilt millennial.

Worst interviewer ever, agreed.
Horn was great. Not so much the interviewer.
'It's pretty painful' says the interviewer. That was easy for him to say.
the interviewer is well informed, understands the context of the time periods when the music was made, lets trevor speak and doesn't interrupt him. he was a well equipped moderator. mind yourselves.
@@kenwhohe asked him for a 3 minute Cliffs Notes answer. that’s disrespectful and ridiculous.
too long? not long enough! I could listen to him dropping that wisdom all day. legend.
I am totally excited about this video being that long! 😀
Been following Mr. Horn for decades and this is hands-down the best interview with him I’ve ever come across.
GOOD GRIEF!
I read some of the comments here about the interviewer and I thought “that’s a bit harsh, surely…” but I’m less than an hour into it, and it’s a tribute to Trevor that he didn’t just walk out (if there wasn’t an audience, maybe he would’ve?!)!🤯
The guy that made me want to be a music producer. Art of noise/FGTH f'n blew my mind to bits
Totally inspiring! I'd not known about his McLaren and ABC connections before watching this either 🙂
@@mightyV444 - I knew ABC but not Malcom.
Trevor Horn always was my idol, it makes me sad to see these young people not even knowing who they have the honour to listen to .... another writer is a bit strange, almost rude at times .... I would’ve had a ton of questions for trevor
I really appreciate that he took the time to tell the all the stories in detail.
Fantastic interview considering the interviewer comes across as quite rude and uninterested most of the time. Trevor Horn, one of the greatest producers/arrangers going!
A genius of monumental proportions.

considering he produced it all - but hey, maybe red bull didn't want to pay the licencing
The Lexicon of Love is the best Produced album of all time . It’s also my favorite album of all time . Thanks Trevor .
It's more consistently amazing than Trevor Horn's other peaks, only 90125 is as good throughout. Welcome to the Pleasuredome is too sprawling, Duck Rock only has a few great tracks, Slave to the Rhythm is just remixes of the greatest single ever.
Grace Jones album by Trevor and other great musicians. Marvellous sound . Great videos also .
Horn is such an elite tier producer and sonic visionary, that only Phil Spector or George Martin can be cited in that same league. He is also a warm, witty and wise human being, who constantly during the interview references his late wife who was a huge influence. They clearly were made for one and another.

Well said. You have to give Horn credit for 90125 and Seal’s best tracks, among others. He made that.
Incredible stuff. Horn is such an inspiration. Shame he’s sitting next to a freshly painted wall out to dry. Liven up and appreciate the company you’re with.
"Being singer in Yes was an amazing experience, never to be repeated" he says - And I just discovered the remake version of Yes' 'Fly From Here' album from 2016 with him on lead vocals! 😄😉
"does that mean we cant smoke this" i adore this man.
The Malcolm and Buffalo Girls stories are a hard act to follow.
Man, Trevor please write a book about all these experiences ! love it
He has: Adventures in Modern Recording: From ABC to ZTT
Trevor is the best !
The interviewer is totally uninspiring, wooden & uninterested considering he's talking to a legend. How the hell do people like that ever get that job? Looks like he doesn't want to be there & it's impinging his time.
My thoughts exactly; does he even know who Trevor is?

Yeah I hate this fraud. Hope they fired him lol.
The interviewer (and I lose that term loosely) is a d*ckhead. Enough said.
@@linndrumfan1959 eh- he had his research down pat for charting a very long interview about a very long career - but - ya, he was pretty stiff.
@@mgabrysSF I've seen him in various other Red Bull interviews and he's been exactly the same. Then again he is German! 😉😂

I don't believe for a single second RedBull couldn't arrange the rights to keep the music in this.
Absolute Genius of Vibe! 🔥

Great guests, but my heart always sinks whenever I see this interviewer. What planet is that guy on?
The Frankie Goes to Hollywood is the best album of the 1980's
Was it at Hans’s studio? The Lilly Yard.
Horn, Absolute gold. The guy interviewing should never ever do an interview again. Dreadful.
what about his work with McCartney on flowers in the dirt??
