Actually, it sounds exactly like a product of its time. No 2022 production has these sounds and the warmth when it comes to the mix. Also, the instruments are completely consistent with the time of its production. Maybe grow some ears.
@@cinemusicberlin Name me 70s songs that sounded like this, this was pretty radical for its time, it fits more in the late 80s or something, not the late 70s.
It's actually a little bit dull on this video, Hic. I played the guitar and synths on this track. The band was the Fairview studio (Hull) 'House Band': Bernie Dolman - bass, Dane Morrell - drums, and yours truly on keys and guitar. The singer is Gary Burroughs, who sang on many recordings with us. The composer of this track was Basil Kirchin. He was a big band drummer in the 40s and 50s, and a composer of film music. Silicon Chip was one of several recording we made with him when he was starting to write pop songs. He just gave us a piece of paper with a few chords jotted down on it, and we launched into it flying by the seat of our pants. We'd never heard the song before. There was no arrangement. We just made it up as we went along. Here's a link to the song posted by bass player, Bernie, from a 20 song CD that Basil gave him. It's got a bit more sparkle here. th-cam.com/video/vkxAvzkuXEQ/w-d-xo.html
@@dannywood9804 Do you by chance know anything about Basil Kirchin's interest in this type of music? Origins of this track? I mean he went all across the spectrum, but this type of dance track stands to me as an odd one out, though I haven't listened to everything in his discography yet. I get empowered by the timelessness of it...
@@MY-lo6cg ... Hello, MY... Basil didn't particularly have an interest in this type of music. He was a composer of 'big band' music and film music. When he was 53 years old, he thought he'd have a bash at something different... some 'songs'. With the assistance of his wife, Esther, who wrote most of the lyrics, he wrote half a dozen songs, one of which was 'Silicon Chip'. He didn't write a 'dance track'. It was us, the Fairview Studio Houseband, who gave it the four-on-the-floor disco rhythm. Berni (bass), Dane (drums) and yours truly (guitar and keys) were the studio musicians. We played for all the solo artists. We played ALL styles of music, and could come up with an arrangement on the spot. There were no instructions from Basil, he had no idea how modern music worked. He left it to us to make it sound wonderful. We didn't say, "Let's play Disco style"... we just started playing what we felt, and that's how it turned out. I put a few synths on it, and that was that. We did six songs on that session, all different. I don't think any of the other tracks were released. All we have are a few 40 year old cassette copies. Here's a link to one of my favourites from the session. All the synth sounds are my creations on the studio Yamaha CS80, THE state of the art synth at the time. And all the parts had to be played. There were no computers in those days. Lots of windy, swishy-swirly sounds on this, inspired by the line, 'Hiding in a rainbow, blowing pictures in the sky'. th-cam.com/video/j_mS8Ps1-m8/w-d-xo.html
@@philiphunn194 it is not, do more research and you will find out that it's a fake that meant to sound like it's from 1979. wow, people believe everything these days without questioning anything
Elsie is a low-capable model though, its basically a mic connected to cloud computers, why did she not upload itself into the cloud in the first place, why bother with all those people if she had that ability in the first place? And how come she could control the security systems but was not able to control Bruce or what his name is? I guess no wifi access, or strong encryption system? So so many questions.
Project Moonbase brought me here seven years ago. I come back for a return visit, and M3GAN is everywhere in the comments! I’m glad Basil Kirchin has gotten more recognition. 👍🏼
Watched M3GAN today and when I heard this song, thought this was a brilliant song. Was gobsmacked when I found out it was ‘79 when it came out - how on earth did I miss this cracking song?! A brilliant film as well! Can’t wait for M3GAN 2!
I played on this track, Scott, and I can tell you, Basil WAS prophetic. Another song we did on the same 1979 session was '1999', where he predicted the future. One line in particular stands out for me: "Video eyes in obscure places". He was certainly right there. We've got cameras all over the place.
First heard this during the credits of the movie M3GAN, and I absolutely love the vibes this gives! Freakin' love chilling out and drawing and/or writing to this. 😎
I can't stop listening to this since I heard it at the end of M3GAN (which I rather enjoyed too). Truly brilliant! I don't know how this passed me by when it came out as I was 15 in 1979.
It's more a factor of popular music having stagnated and degenerated the last couple of decades, nothing new under the sun, so the better music from the late 20th century will sound fresh and great.
It's not really that hard to believe when you realize that Star wars was just out 2 years prior and Robin Scott aka "M" aka "Msic out in that same year. th-cam.com/video/4575VVMpwzY/w-d-xo.html

@@Mmmmmhi Not sure if this link is gonna work. This is 'Reflections', another one of Basil's songs from the same session in 1979. I rather like this one. Sadly, this audio is from a 40 year old cassette, so it doesn't sound its best. Basil played the Clavinet on this track, and Bernie (bass), Dane (Drums) and yours truly (guitar) just jammed along. I do a bit of my best James Brown 'Sex Machine' guitar on the outro. The synths were overdubbed, and the sounds were all created on a Yamaha CS80., They all had to be played (as they were on 'Silicin Chip'. There were no computers and sequencers back then.I had to play every note. Try this link. I hope it works. th-cam.com/video/j_mS8Ps1-m8/w-d-xo.html
I played on this track, WJ. Basil's dad, Ivor Kirchin, was a band leader, and he came to Hull to play at the newly opened Locarno Ballroom in 1961. He retired after several years playing there, and, by that time, he and his wife had settled in Hull. When they were getting on a bit, I think Basil came to Hull to be close to his mam and dad. And yes... cod WAS better back then.
Yes, they did have COMPRESSION back then! That's why it sounds modern it's so much compression. The clue is there is actually a song there with lyrics. And a singer ! I still had to check though.
There is too little information about this song, I can't wrap my mind around the composer of 'The Abominable Dr. Phibes' soundtrack also having written this song.

@dannywood9804 I'm going to thank you and take you at your word, not because I verified who you are but because it's the story I want to believe. Kirchin sounds adorable. The track is timeless. Could have come out in 2011 alongside Tame Impala and MGMT albums without sounding a bit out of place.
@@notimportant7682 There's a good film about Basil's life story. I tried to upload it for you but there's a copyright issue. If you want to watch it, I can either Email it to you or send it on facebook.
