What are you listening to right now [2023-09]

It goes even deeper than that.

Yeah saw those Rick Beato videos.
You reach a point where everything ends up being the same.
Movies have gotten like too.

Singer from Frankie died of AIDS. Sad.

Yeah that HIV virus and subsequent disease took a lot of people.

Meanwhile earlier in time I loved this song. From that late 70's/early 80's period when the 80's sound was just getting going. Era of Gary Numan, Blondie, Go-Go's etc.

If I remember correctly this was the first video played when MTV launched. Man I loved that channel back then, it was amazing.

Same here. When they ended up joining Yes because of the infighting and Jon Anderson said enough and left for a while, I was
rather hesitant about that but the Drama album is quite good.

Do you remember Trevor Horn's work with Art of Noise?

He actually was the producer for Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Every decade has some good music you can listen too. I like the 70s/80s disco, the upcoming electronic music from the 80s, the happy hardcore from the 90s and the mix of all that in the 00s and 10s but more mature. My head only wants to listen to electronic music, and I usually don't listen to classical, rock, general pop, unless it's on the radio in the background. Kraftwerk, Art of Noise is great electronic music from the days.

Pure electronic music from the 80s:

Ha I had that album on vinyl. Loved Magnetic Fields IV. 1:08:25 on that video. It is much better than the studio version, with the synth improvising.

Had Oxygene and Equinox albums by Jarre as well.

Had the first Kraftwerk album and some Tangerine Dream like Rubycon. Also every Tomita album. Didn't care for Klaus Schultz.

[chuft]

My real loves though were Gary Numan and John Foxx for synths with vocals. Also with bass and sometimes guitar thrown in.

Synth solo starting about 2:05

A classic from Numan

More of that lovely Polymoog sound

A much more recent effort with the sort of synth crescendo that thrills me. Wait for it (it's at 4:20 but the lead up lends it power)

[chuft]

Can't resist linking this one, another one where the synth takes off. Great lyrics too.

I am the final silence.
The last electrician alive.
And they called me 'The Sparkle'.
I was the best, I worked them all.

New ways, new ways.
I dream of wires.

We opened doors by thinking.
We went to sleep by dialing 'O'.
We drove to work by proxy.
I plugged my wife in, just for show.

New ways, new ways.
I dream of wires.

So I press 'C' for 'comfort'.
I dream of wires, the old days.

New ways, new ways.
I dream of wires.

And no fan of synths should go without hearing this lovely pair.

[chuft]

Man there was so much good music back then. Hard to stop.

Some more synth focused bands.

Don't remember that. I know he was into producing and all that.
Couldn't tell you who what or when.

Thank GOD someone else still listens to Yes. "Close to the edge" is one of my top 10 favourite albums, without any doubt

Great video, thx for sharing! I'm definitely not a music expert, I just listen to lots of it, so it's all pretty advanced to me lol.

It's hypocritical for me to say this (since I'm not a music expert), but I think a lot of mainstream artists can't live up to there fullest potential because of the industry. The industry just wants to make music that follows trends to have a guaranteed payday, not music that the artists in question want to make and are capable of making. The sad thing is that the artists have their hands tied; do whatever the boss wants, or loose the opportunity of a lifetime.

P.s good music bro, keep up the sharing

Always. 👍

Some great 70's vocalists long before the curse of autotune

The amazing crisp production of The Cars, nobody had heard every instrument so clearly before

Some examples of long 70s songs that showcased a musical journey with changes in tempo etc (personal favorites, there are many)

[chuft]

And a short little blues guitar piece I like to put on repeat
