Thompson Twins Love On Your Side


YouTube via GarethAlanWillmer. SCI Prophet-5 and Prophet-T8 minus keys. The Prophet T8 is what you see at :10 with a computer keyboard. I'm curious if the keyboard was a prop or actually functional. If anyone knows feel free to comment.

Update via waveterm in the comments: "That´s not the T8. It is a Movement Percussion Computer. Same as Dave Stewart is using in the Sweet Dreams video."

Indeed it is. flickr image via Neil Vance. Note the buttons are the same type.

  1. must all be just for the video?

    I had thought that Tom Bailey used mostly Oberheim and the Movement Drum Computer for Sidekicks.

  2. I think it was Joe Leeway who used the Oberheims. I remember he always used to complain that it was a bit temperamental! I'm going from memory here so I could be wrong on both counts :)
