i love when music was not squarily quantized. here is clearly that he goes at a speed in 0:24 before rushing a bit on 0:29 but that's what gives music it's character (and in this particular song, a sense of despair)
True. In fact this is exactly the moment when the drums make its intro into the song. It gives you a clear clue on wich instrument was firstly recorded.
@@mariuspoppFM Wurlitzer, almost no doubt but can't confirm that. At least the part from the beginning of the song to the drums intro and then play the whole of it. But you need more than a metronome (even if you already know the song from a to z). It's the logical way of doing it unless you want to make a lot of takes: rhythmical fist but with a reference. I don't know how Supertramp worked on studio, however, on analogic 24 tracks you work on "economy mode" and the drums are going to "consume" a big part of it being a single instrument.
From what I’ve seen from other videos on TH-cam, the Wurlitzer is being used with a Boss CE-1 chorus pedal, and a reverb effect. The Boss pedal gives the Wurly that distortion/bite sound on the lower notes. It sounds so good!
Wrong. You simply got that off the net. I have a fender twin, JC-120 and the Boss CE-1 vintage pedal. It doesn’t work. Ever wondered why once he left the band, that sound disappeared …?
@@johnscott4693 This is from the producers mouth: Roger Hodgson's Wurlitzer, fed through a Roland Jazz Chorus on previous albums, was DI'd and the signal then split through a Boss chorus pedal to create a semi-straight, semi-modulated sound. "Roger's a naturally gifted musician - everything comes very easily to him - but he always employed a very heavy-handed style for the Wurlitzer," Henderson says. "John used to refer to him as 'Hammer hands'. He was also singing the entire track, miked with a U47, and we ended up keeping his vocal on the end section from the original track."
I believe they recorded the Wurly through a Roland Jazz Chorus amp (if not then definitely some kind of chorus). Has a nice bark to it. This recording has some distortion but i wonder if it was tracked with that or just happened in the transfer or somewhere along the line (probably taken from the Rock Band game or Jammit or something). Either way, gotta love hearing isolated tracks! Thanks for posting.
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible Logical, oh, responsible, practical Then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical There are times when all the world's asleep The questions run too deep For such a simple man Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned? I know it sounds absurd Please tell me who I am I said, now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable Oh, take, take, take it, yeah But at night, when all the world's asleep The questions run so deep For such a simple man Won't you please (oh, won't you tell me) Please tell me what we've learned? (Can you hear me?) I know it sounds absurd (Oh, won't you tell me) please tell me who I am Who I am, who I am, who I am Ooh Hey 'Cause I was feeling so logical Yeah D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Digital Yeah, one, two, three, five Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah Ooh, it's getting unbelievable Yeah Getting, getting, yeah, yeah Uh, uh, uh, uh
Amazing ! How did you do that ? I see there are some mistakes and it comforts me to make some when I play Supertramp in concert. Not so much a problem indeed !Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
The bass notes seem to be coming from the right slightly (unless my headphones are reversed). Is it possible the bass notes and chords were recorded separately?
The older i get , the more i learn to appriciate Supertramp.
Truly a work of art.
Breakfast in America in my opinion is the most perfect album of all time, and I’m in my 20s!

The best sounding keyboard sound of any song in the history of the known universe past present AND future ha ha ! just amazing. breathtaking.
Totally agree !!!!
The best comment of any video in the history of the known universe past present AND future ha ha ! just amazing. breathtaking. :)
a chorus effect Fender Rhodes to me, is right up there with this. :)
The legendary Wurlitzer 200
The magical sound ✨
Keep uploading this stuff. We need more isolated Supertramp!
isolated Roger!
Yes

Supertramp were great at multilayered keyboards coming together!❤
I love the way this keyboard sounds ❤️❤️
Is a wurlitzer could be a 200a
This is just as good as the real song. What a fantastic music.
such an awesome sound
What a great sound. Never get bored of Breakfast in America album. Thanks!
Love it - it's truly magical - including the little screw ups here and there. Miss those days.
Absolutety incredible !! Love the "Wurly - Solo Sound" !!
It's comforting to hear that it's multiple layers and thereby impossible for one keyboard player to perform live exactly like the original..! :D
Woahhhh we need goodbye stranger!!!!
I never noticed Rick in the picture until someone mentioned it:)
Great Wurlitzer! 👏🏻👍🏻
Very helpful Track for studying this wonderful Wurlitzer part...thanx, nice sharing!
Xandre we need more Supertramp! You have provided a gift no one else has on TH-cam and the entire internet!
Roger un grand, un très grand artiste !! Great concert Nîmes, France july 2019
Goosebumps man...
1:11 oopss kkkk
Beautiful ! Magical ! 🎹
50% pure Wurlitzer and 50% Wurlitzer fed through a Roland Chorus
Jazz Pedal...
You sure? Not Boss?
Both. Its Boss Chorus pedal and the Chorus Effect from the Roland Jazz Chorus Amp. That makes such a crunchy sound.
Wrong. You simply got that off the net.
I have a fender twin, JC-120 and the Boss CE-1 vintage pedal. It doesn’t work. Ever wondered why once he left the band, that sound disappeared …?

Yes.. read that 15/years ago - just fake, I’ve done that. Big fail!
Great !! So enjoyable and helpful. Thanks very much for sharing this and please keep up posting this kind of isolated tracks !

a very common sound in the 1980s (and late 70's), with the Wurlitzer and also the Fender Rhodes. LOVE the sound!
absolutely amazing, lovin this.
expressive!
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh, responsible, practical
Then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
I said, now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal
Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable
Oh, take, take, take it, yeah
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please (oh, won't you tell me)
Please tell me what we've learned?
(Can you hear me?) I know it sounds absurd
(Oh, won't you tell me) please tell me who I am
Who I am, who I am, who I am
Ooh
Hey
'Cause I was feeling so logical
Yeah
D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Digital
Yeah, one, two, three, five
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Ooh, it's getting unbelievable
Yeah
Getting, getting, yeah, yeah
Uh, uh, uh, uh
to me, the best way to hear a Wurlitzer: with chorus effect. :)
thanks for sharing loved it
1,2,3, FIVE!!!
cool!
Even better than original.
This IS the original! with everything else cut out. lol
@@EphemeralProductionsthey prob meant the song itself;)
This piece is no easy for the time,i love 👍💕
Amazing!
It would be possible to get the rest of the tracks?
Is it possible to get the rest of these Keyboard tracks and background effects? I'd like to perform this live with my band.
mmm. now i wanna practice thw guitar part next to this... 😃 what an awesome idea
tell me what sounds better ?
How did you get all of these isolated tracks?
"Hypnotic"
Amazing ! How did you do that ? I see there are some mistakes and it comforts me to make some when I play Supertramp in concert. Not so much a problem indeed !Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
Excelente!! Sería posible más canciones de supertramp?
🙏💯🎵🎶
The bass notes seem to be coming from the right slightly (unless my headphones are reversed). Is it possible the bass notes and chords were recorded separately?
No, this is clearly a single performance (listen for the mistakes, there are a few).
Wurlitzer 120, 140 or 200? I think it was 140.
200a, black model
Supertramp > Beatles
One person finds this song ilogical
Sadly now there's two... they must be radicals, liberals, fanaticals, criminals
Thank god punk came and saved us 😊
Eew
Punk is pleb trash, prog is elite stuff.
@@paulgauguin7730 Punk is the iconoclastic voice of youth - prog is reactionary old farts.
