I spy a Waldorf Microwave 1 in the rack behind the white dude.
ReplyDeletei always find shows detailing the fruition of ideas very inspiring. artists usually respond as if it's about time someone asked. if american television had more content like this instead of constant chris hansen and cops, some of the fools on those shows might have some culture and maybe even think of better things to spend thier time on.
ReplyDeleteFunny Mr. Array. I totally spotted it as well. I was going to comment on it in the post, but decided not to. I was curious if anyone else would spot it. Waldorf was smart going with "The Big Red Knob".
ReplyDelete@ convoy: The show that this was pulled from was a UK documentary series called Classic Albums. The list of albums they covered is enormous and the Songs In The Key Of Life episode is my all time favourite, not only for the GX-1 clip, but Stevie's story about his Arp 2600 and the footage of Stevie drumming. The show actually got the whole band back together and they recreated some of the tracks from the album. Those dudes still got it :)
ReplyDeleteCheck this link for a list of most of the albums covered...

Enjoy :o)
this is great.
ReplyDeletehowever, if this was about Talking Book instead it would have been much more entertaining.
imagine ... malcolm cecil, robert margouleff, and stevie wonder sitting in TONTO, arguing about who was doing what on the synth tracks.
Your wish, etc, etc.....

Thanks failed muso. I almost put it up, but found I already posted it here.
ReplyDeleteI agree Suit&Tie Guy, I would have rather seen a documentary on one of the previous three albums... still it's worth TIVOing (I think VH1 is playing this classic album series, maybe under a different name).
ReplyDeleteOther ones worth watching are U2 Joshua Tree with Lanois and Eno in the studio... and in the non-synth department Nirvana Nevermind with Butch Vig pulling up individual tracks on the mixing board and getting very emotional. Good series...
Indeed. I have to say that "SITKOL" is my fave Stevie album, but I agree any of his "classic period" works would have been good.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Classic Album series, there are so many gems. Joshua Tree is indeed good, as is Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours", Steely Dan's "Aja", Iron Maiden's "Number Of The Beast", The Who's "Who's Next" (especially for the Baba O'Reilly revalations) and Def Leppard's "Hysteria".
In fact, there's not really a duff one in the whole series. Some are more brilliant than others, especially the one's where the perps give so much up about the creative process.
Having just done a quick search, many of these are available on DVD for either $9.99 US or £9.99 UK, so whichever side of the pond you are, there's a bargain to be had :o)
Coolio is featured way too prominently in this episode. It's hilarious.
