    Masterful. It's almost weird how Adam describes the messing around in such a simplistic way, since the track is certainly not a walk in the park, given how well the vocal and the strings and keyboards gel together.

    • @ChristianCawood
      @ChristianCawood ปีที่แล้ว

      Adamski Killer was a walk in the park for Adam when he was innovating. If you play a few notes and run it through some random delay in the moment pressing buttons and it sounds good then you roll with it and that's a part finished. It takes a lot more effort to put something back together, like a broken vase. Also, Adamski Killer was mixed in a professional studio (Advision in London) on an SSL console with the SSL G-Master Buss Comp so that's the gel you are hearing.

    (Just for the record i am not the Adamski aka Adam Tinley featured in the video) . Nice break down. I remember the rumor mill saying the bass was Minimoog model d. Great to hear it from the horses mouth.
    The piano is very unique and refreshing to hear at the time after so much M1 Piano.

    One of the best deconstructions I’m binge watching so far! Amazing to hear Adamski and how he did it. Similarly I recommend finding Rick Beato discuss “Kiss from a Rose” by Seal who similarly drops in! and says how he wrote it but couldn’t play an instrument and was just playing with his new 8 track. Sounds like you can do it all on feel and a ‘spiky’ set of talents
