WE ARE ALL FUCKED BY OUR LEADERS. COLLAPSE. SO ENJOY THIS MUSIC WHILE YOU CAN. GREED OVER COMMON SENSE... AS THE IGNORANT GO DOWN, WE HAVE THIS FUN STUFF TO LISTEN TO
MTV is dead in part because music today is not as innovative as during its heyday in the 80's. Videos were new back then, innovative as well, whereas videos can be seen in a myriad of places nowadays, and not as innovative as they used to be. It's all been done. Bands have to go back to being excellent musicians and making "real" music, instead of shit that passes for pop or R&R these days. There are only a handful of bands out there today producing decent music. The rest is commercial crap
@Alejandroenfuego I believe USA MTV has lost it’s direction. Should be re-branded RTV - Reality TV with all those repeat showings of Brett Michaeals and Flava Flave. They do not show music anymore. The early 80’s were great with their programming as they showed lot’s of European acts, but now it’s a waste of space. I recently lived in The Netherlands and VH1 Classic was awesome, but the US version of the channel shows movies instead of music. WTF?
Such a brilliantly happy song!!!! :D *thumbs up* still have the original vinyl for 'Crush' .. this song would sound awsum played wif a proper turntable n speakers!!! :D
Thank you & the Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument) is a digital sampling synthesizer. It was designed in 1979 by the founders of Fairlight, Peter Vogel and Kim Ryrie, and based on a dual-6800 microprocessor computer designed by Tony Furse in Sydney, Australia. It rose to prominence in the early 1980s and competed in the market with the Synclavier from New England Digital.
It's not really a case of that. It's not that it has a distinctive sounds, it's that it's a sampler, so you can tell it's a sample if it's not something that doesn't sound quite right as a sound used for an instrument.
That and the whopping great greenscreen monitor :p
@benyuen The camera lies. OMD were a synth band, and at the time this was recorded were making heavy use of the Fairlight system whose screen is seen at the end of the clip. Surely that bassline is an obviously looped sequence?
