  • It's been a while since the last one I did of this series. Nice to get this one done and dusted finally. Another ambient/electronic/instrumental take on an 80s hit tune. Most of this track is created in the DAW, with software, I'm just playing an ambient pad on Iridium live and the lead part (Omnisphere) on the higher keyboard split.
    Recorded direct to DAW.
    Video shot on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k with a 15mm Leica Prime lens. Editing and colour grading done in Da Vinci Resolve.

    Back in the 80s I was at a friends wedding. One of his friends was a stunningly beautiful girl who I danced with to the original track. The electricity between us was amazing. This new version brings back all those wonderful memories and feelings from year’s ago. I wonder if she listened to this track she would remember the same emotions? Thank you for the memories and the jump back in time. In the 80s we dreamed of the future-not realising it was the future- Bravo sir I’m young again 😁

      @strangerhythm VERY true. They're selling the "brand" AKA the musician/artist/band. But now everyone and every band has to become a "brand" or apparently there is no money to be made with the exception of touring or if you're extremely extremely blessed with #1 hits all across the world.
      I'm not in The biz so don't quote me. I just watch a lot of interviews and could be very very wrong.

    took some shrooms and listened to this song. I laid down and closed my eyes and felt like a weight was placed on my chest. it was as if the mushrooms were asking me to be as still as possible so I could observe everything they were about to show me with complete concentration. during the song, every note, rhythm, and melody from each instrument broke open and separated as if I was able to see and hear with precise clarity each intricate detail of them as a whole but individually at the same time...and the longer the song went on, the deeper I went into what appeared to be this gigantic cave or tunnel that kept expanding and morphing into the most beautiful patterns and shapes and colors that cannot be described with words. it was as if I was inside the music and the machines and the force that causes human creativity. it was a blessing to be shown this. this rendition of one of my favorite tunes is beyond amazing. thank you.

    As a teen in the 80s I was always attracted to the more unusual or "exotic" synth sounds heard in popular music - this is a great example from the Duran Duran library! Similarly... "The Chauffeur" (sp?) also has great synth sounds. In 83-85, was listening to a lot of Duran Duran, The Fixx, Thomas Dolby, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears of course... nice cover of this song!
    PS: Duran Duran was my first second "real" concert in 1984 -- I took my little brother after graduating and just before shipping out to Basic Training in the Army ;)
