Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue


Youtube via ChiliDogWithOnions.

The year was 1983. A synth filled track. Anyone have any idea what synths and drum machines were used?

    Love Eddy Grant. I'm not sure about what's on this track, but here's he's live with a polymoog being played in the background:

    It's interesting to note that he plays, writes, records and produces all his music. The previous video calls it out & I had to pull out a few records to confirm it.

    I think the "motorcycle" sound is from turning the delay time knob on an analog delay - does anyone know for sure how they would do that in post production?

    It's the Oberheim OB-Xa or OB-8. You can see it on live videos.
