New Order vs Donna Summer vs Kraftwerk et al Mashup

Cum On Take The Luv

a mashup i did that asks the proverbial question, "how does it feel to feel love and feel the noize?"

download the mp3 here:

http://www.operazero.org/peamisc/bluemashup.mp3

songs used, in rough order of appearance:

new order - blue monday
blancmange - what's your problem
devo - i desire
blancmange - other animals
kraftwerk - uranium
thompson twins - hold me now
devo - patterns
devo - out of sync
twisted sister - we're not gonna take it
donna summer & giorgio moroder - i feel love
quiet riot - cum on feel the noize

more music nerd trivia: i originally started this mashup in order to combine new order's "blue monday" with kraftwerk's "uranium," because new order sampled that choir chord from kraftwerk (probably the first group ever to sample kraftwerk). kraftwerk originally played that choir chord not on a mellotron, but on a vako orchestron, which you can learn more about at my website: http://www.optigan.com/cousins.html

and now for the bragging rights, i actually am the owner of the original studio master tapes of that choir sound... though i didn't use those source tapes in this mashup.

For info about a brand new (July 2008) sample set of sounds from the Optigan/Orchestron master tapes, including this choir sound, check this video out:

So how come the voice sounds just like florian singing into a vocodor like he usually does?

[peahix]

it sounds nothing like that. there's no vocoder or any other effect involved, other than some reverb. the choir chord is played direct from the orchestron, with some reverb added, that's all. if i have time, i'll fire up my orchestron and make a youtube video demonstrating this. if you play the same voicing as they did, it sounds exactly like the kraftwerk record. btw, the orchestron choir was also used on "europe endless," where it plays a little melodic line.

[roberttoddtv]

yeah id like to see this video.

[peahix]

i'm pretty bust at the moment, but i'll see what i can do. in the meantime, if you want a chance to find out for yourself, there's actually an orchestron listed on ebay this week- an extremely rare occurance. i think it's only the 2nd or 3rd one i've seen on ebay, and in the rare chassis design too... kraftwerk had the original, more common wood-grain model. it's item #290157002758.

Anyway thanks for educating me on the orchestron interesting kit , but what are the 'discs'? they look like vinyl records , how does that work then?

[peahix]

if you go to my website, linked in the info section on this page, you'll find out all about the optigan/orchestron/talentmaker­. and yes, i guarantee, it's the orchestron alone on the kraftwerk tracks- no vocoder. sure, they use tons of vocoder in general, but not in conjunction with the orchestron choir sounds. btw, it's on the song "radioactivity" as well.

reminds me of a radio station in my town here in germany.

they make mixes like that in the 80's and 90's.
