Paolo you are not only a musician. You are a time machine.
I made a Cassette tape for the car.
Side A - 45 minutes of "Pearly Dewdrops' Drops" repeating.
Side B - 45 minutes of "Iceblink Luck" repeating.
@ADMIN I learned to be careful in my choice of driving music.
Awaken from going For the One by Yes would make me pull over to avoid losing control.
They don't like it when you do that on the Motorway/Freeway.
You know there's a thing called loop tapes that loop infinitely?
Is joke. Over your head it flew.
My repeating cassette would be quite different.
Side A - 22 minutes of Summerhead, 23 minutes of Cherry-coloured Funk
Side B - 22 minutes of Blue Bell Knoll, 23 minutes of Feathers Oar-Blades
your sound is so spot on, I fully expected to hear Liz Fraser’s angelic voice come in at any moment.
The early Cocteau Twins, specifically Heads over Heels, completely changed my life. Thank you for doing this, Paolo!
without this group something would be missing
i love cocteau twins so much, especially garlands, something about garlands just scratches an itch in my brain, thank you for this nice lil video mister :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been a Cocteau Twins fan for years. He totally nails the sound.
yess!!
I had the pleasure of playing on a record made at the Cocteau Twins' studio in Richmond, London in the late 90s. I had a look inside the attic where they kept their gear, I found an Emu SP1200 but not a Drumulator.... guess they must have sold that by then. They let me use some of their guitars as well!
No phony software emulators used here... The true hardware for an authentic production! Wonderful! :)
Maaaan Victorialand is such a classic. Personally my favourite of theirs as well! Great video as always!
Thanks~~~!!!
We all know Paolo could nail Liz Frazier’s vocals
Thumbs up before watching, because , well, it’s Paolo doing Cocteau Twins!
It's amazing how you can dial up such authentic period production. Very clever.
Glad you like it!
you're always helping up to realize our dreams and thank you so much for this really.
Brilliantly done, very impressed, you totally nailed it
Excellent job! Exactly what I was looking for. You nailed it! Thank you.
One of my favorite bands and this video was great. Love seeing the old gear in use.
These videos, and this genre of music are the absolute coolest!
Love it! Super cool, really captures the period 🙌
Glad you like it!
Love what you wrote for the end 💜
Such a pretty instrumental...
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Great and informative content in your videos!
Thanks for watching!
I swear this video came exactly on time. Totally into Cocteau twins right now. Just ordered a new modulation pedal. Awesome video!
Awesome!! Absolutely nailed it!!
Thanks a ton!
THANK YOU!!!! I REALLY enjoyed seeing how their sound is made!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice job! I got to see them twice in about 5 months in Chicago. November of ‘90 and then again March of ‘91. Seeing them live was like seeing how all the pieces fit together.
Cool!
Sound great Paolo!!!
Soooo cool, thanks!
Wow! thank you, Sir, for another great video filled with so much talent, knowledge and good taste! This work of love of yours is very appreciated!!!
Thank you very much!
So cool! Thanks for this!
This is great, thank you so much!
Glad you like it!
Awesome!!! With 80’s effects !!! Thanks for sharing! ... the 4ad label had a great selection of bands back then and had my favorite artist/graphic designer Vaughan Oliver who worked and art directed all the covers for them. Very creative years !
I need those
Loved all the 4AD design and imagery - RIP Vaughan
Totally Fascinating video! Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've enjoyed the Twins since the mid-80s too. Thanks for this fun video romp!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful work. As an eighties Scottish teenager, this is really evocative.
dream setup awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Sounds really authentic- great with the use of the period gear to get the accurate sound. Excellent drums
Thank you - if you'd like to find out about other drum machines and gear that they used over the years, a good source is cocteautwins.com/cocteau-twins-equipment-and-sounds.html
Excellent production again! You make it look so easy! Shoegaze and Cocteau Twins pretty much went under my radar all the 80s and 90s. I only really discovered Shoegaze (the genre that wouldn't die) in the early 2000s when I discovered a band named Bowery Electric, a short-lived band but still one of my favorite Shoegaze bands.
Thank you, it helps to have the same drum machine that they used! :D Ahh, yes, I do remember Bowery Electric, I know a guitarist good friend of mine who's been living in NY for thirty years and I think he played in the same circles back then and introduced me to an album of that band in the early 2000s as well. Really cool band.
@@SynthManiaDotCom It's awesome that you know Bowery Electric! I keep an eye (ear) on Shoegaze every now and then. There's always something new coming out here and there and it never gets old, bands like Flyying Colours, Airiel, Fleeting Joys, The Death of Pop, Forsaken Autumn to name a couple of my favorites.
Great stuff. You nailed the sound perfectly and I loved how you used the classic reverb unit to get the snare sound.
Glad you enjoyed it
Magnificent
Cool music well done!
Simply awesome. You are a real magician.
Wow, thank you
loving this content
Well this is first time i hear someone go so far with CT sound...i really like what you did here....big fan of CT
I would love to see more videos like this, about various aspects of the sound of old bands
Amazing sound
Glad you think so!
Great return to 80's Paolo.
amazing work, thank you
Thank you too!
I swear I can hear a voice in your song! beautiful
So good, I recently got a Roland MC-505 that I've been trying to manipulate enough to create drums sounds similar to these. Getting close, but your gear is epic!! Thanks for the video
impressive
I love your channel, mate!
Much appreciated!
Very nice sounds. Very useful.
Glad you think so!
Nothing to do... but to like! You are a master.
Wow, thanks!
My best friend had a Drumulator growing up. Such a great machine. The snare sounds huge with the RMX16. More powerful than the kick. Vox sounds great. Nice relaxing Cocteau jam!
Thank you, PJ! I have a soft spot for the Drumulator, as it was used in a number of Italo Disco songs from the mid'-80s that I grew up with (actually, not only Italo Disco but also Pop / Rock). I put zif sockets in it recently, so I'd like to start experimenting with swapping home-brewed ROMs.
I loved The Cocteau's
Good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Serpentskirt - wonderful track
You do a great job with the Guthrie / Raymonde sound, Paolo. Now if you could find a Dream Goddess Heaven Machine to cover Elizabeth Fraser's voice... You'd be a very rich man.
Great stuff!
The only you need is a Elisabeth with a heaven voice and its complete .
I bought a Gallien Krueger 250ml last year to get that 80's sound.... The built-in chorus is AMAZING
ooo this is cool i did't know you love the Cocteau Twins !
wonderful
Many thanks
Great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
excellent.
Thanks!
@@SynthManiaDotCom welcome.
Guitar sound like "The Cure"" too ... great video !
I hear vocals in the last seconds or is it just my imagination. You do things on my mind.
Was hoping you'd take a stab at some Cocteau style vocals! 🤪
You are an amzing man - with an exceptionally god taste in all things music. I have a tip for you. Theres an old rackmountable Guitar preamp/processor from Roland called GP-100
They can do amazing fx-laden sounds,especially , chorus , reverb and echo sounds.And the clean fendery sounds are really good to. And they are fantastic for bass.Theres many on e-bay for sale.Every Indie-man should have at least one. I have two....:)
Nailed it.
amazing! I love Cocteau Twins and keep trying to get that sound on an old yamaha FX500 effects unit... :) thanks Paolo!
Glad you like it!
Thank you DAVE !
Very new to synth and the gubbins that come with it... Probably a bit too long in the tooth at 31, But I'm glad that I discovered your channel! Diolch!
Cool!
Aloha - I'd go see you in concert !!!!
Cool relaxing... :) Shared around
Awesome, thank you!
Que lindo
cool
I read that they used to take the drum machines into a bunch of different amplifiers and effects to play live and the the engineers at the time talked them out of recording them that way. I would love to have heard that!
Aw, Cocteau Twins...
It's time to search for the good old recordings...
Vielen Dank👍🇩🇪
You Tha man! 🤗
wish I could just hang out and jam with you every time I see your videos lol
Me too... what a cool guy. What a cool studio.
🔥
Yesss! No matter what, Paolo could get a good sound even from a bunch of pebbles and a plastic bag ;)
My dear Paolo, you're the Doraemon of the synth community on YT! LOL XD ... look what the cat has dragged in...a Drumulator!! let's go for it ;)
Cool vid and performance as usual.
Auguri.
Rock on!
@@SynthManiaDotCom Drumulator was a very important equipment for EMU back in those days, good sales saved the company from bankrupcy...years later, the second time, the saver would be called : Proteus. ;)
Rock it!
All their albums sound good(IMO) and that is rare, Robin Guthrie, that sound!
Super video! I applauded for COP 4,000.00 👏
Thank you!!
Well done. You nailed it! Now call Liz...
A band never on my radar back in the day; I will give them more of a listen. 😍
Blue Bell Knoll
Treasure
They are f'ng brilliant. I second Treasure to check out. It's my favorite but it's cold and atmospheric and may be a slightly challenging listen. Rumor has it that it was a favorite of Prince as well. Blue Bell Knoll is almost as good but it's much more of a friendly and welcoming listen.
@@ICTS22 Thanks I will give them a twirl! I like a lot of 4AD bands; and I like This Mortal Coil.
@@ICTS22 Treasure has always been my favourite too. It is simply unique, without peer. Rumour has it though that Blue Bell Knoll was the first album with which Robin Guthrie was truly happy.
epic
Get on, some nice vintage English reverberation! a classic :)
YES YEEESSSSSSSS YEEEEEES
Fascinating stuff. Also, I see you have one of those invisible plectrums that Bernard Edwards had!
Thanks! I just wish I could also play like him :^D
@@SynthManiaDotCom don't we all! After many years dabbling in bass I've only just discovered that "chucking" technique.
i was justthinking about this when cherry lflavoured funk came on, how they got their sound just woke up and this was suggested to me i didn't look up thjeir gear or anything lol so sick!
@8:31 sounds straight out of season 4 Miami Vice 1987 😎
Excelent, thanks. I feel second guitar riff should sound more distant, don't know how
Obviously, they switched kit quite often, but /THE/ Cocteau Twins sound for me is with the Rock set of samples in the Drumulator.
One of the very few attempts at the 4AD Ivo Watts Russel Robin Guthrie sound that is in the ballpark
Another one of my fave bands! We have soo much '80s in common, Paolo! Well done on nailing the Cocteau's sound, mate. I dunno if I've asked you before but where you a fan of Secession?? How about the group Fashion who did Streetplayer?
Thanks so much, Jyoti!!! And YES, I think you mentioned Secession in past conversations and I'm definitely fond of all those types of bands !!! :) And yes, Fashion's Streetplayer is great!!! One less-known band from the '80s I discovered fairly recently is Kym Amps th-cam.com/video/FtC9zlciS5k/w-d-xo.html Lots of DX7 used in very interesting, hypnotic ways!
@@SynthManiaDotCom Just checked her out and it's lovely! THANK YOU! That Fashion sound, very funky but very synthy was one of my fave '80s trends, obviously also done by Heaven 17 and, later, Level 42. Please, please do a SYNTHFUNK track if you have time but in that style, not the Chromeo style. Much love and hugs!
I also have a drumulator but from Uvi 🤣🤣🤣finde enough for me.
