@Alexisthemanandrock3 It's not a MicroKorg (which can not make that "sound"). The MK essentially a vocoder (a cheap one at that). This guy is using a TalkBox and what looks like an old Yamaha DX100 FM. That exact set-up made Zapp & Roger's best jamz!
It's the breath through the tube that makes the signature sound and when used with a guitar (it's initial design function) you get Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel", the beginning of Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer" etc....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
who made the mistake of putting the "robert palmer girls" in the background? Probably, Dave who didnt want the spotlight taken from him, and also, he is actually a homosexual and lover of Armand Van Helden. Poor decision.
@Toolshed76 They explain on "live from daryls house" that they have tried the drummer thing out but it changes a lot of what they are going for..fat electro drum sounds. And although i love drummers, ill have to agree with their choice not to use one.....it just wouldnt be the same!! lol
I stumbled across Chromeo as part of a Nokia "Own Voice" GPS voice guidance package they created especially for Nokia Maps. After digging a bit on youTube, I just had to look at their full back catalog. By far, "Business Casual" is the album I play the most out of them all. "Night by Night" is on high rotation.
These guys are the reason Canada is the greatest counntry in the world...its the only place where two total races that have generations of hate toward eachother can work together and look past the history of resent to make unbelievable music...i luv these dudes!!!
These guys should record a whole live album with the Juliet's. They sound a lot better with some real strings and some backup singers of the female persuasion.
Montreal. Cheaper rent than Vancouver. Roman Catholic party ethic and the built in forgiveness. Beer in gas stations. Just For Laughs. Leonard Coen. Duddy Kravitz. Plante, Dryden and Roy. Jazz, Chalice.
@bobbybishopbuffalo AS a muslim, im gonna say, AMEN BROTHER!!!!...there should be peace throughout the holy land! love the band cuz more than anything, they symbolize peace!
Basically the sound from his keys is blasted down the tube and into his mouth. He's not saying or singing anything, just mouthing the words, and the talk box is acting as his voice. So, what goes into the mic is the talk box sound formed into words by his mouth.
@SWJLCVP It's a talk box, as made famous by Peter Frampton. It's usually used with guitars but he has his plugged into his synth, which is also common. Much better than using autotune as you actually have to know how to play the instrument to make it sound great.
I soooo love them! :o I mean I listened to fancy footwork, she's in control but just now with this new album I got mad about them. You're great guys, music, style, sense of humor, you have it all :D
Saw Chromeo in a small joint in LA in 2005. These guys are so smooth! And I love the Robert Palmer (Addicted to Love) foxy ladies...even the violinists got the look! Smooth :)
Damn you, sexy indifferent girls...
