Ultravox Synths Take 2
Title link takes you to a previous post I put up on Ultravox Synths. Micke just posted the following on this VSE thread.
Did you know:
1) that the fat bass line on Ultravox' song "Slow Motion" (off of Systems of romance, 1978) was actually played by Chris Cross on his EMS-Synthi?
2) that the EMS synthi, Arp Odyssey (and Elka Rhapsody) were the only synths used for U-Vox' 2nd album "Ha, Ha, Ha" (1977)?
3) that the Elka Rhapsody 610 was used for the string sounds on U-vox' first three albums?
4) that Brian Eno programmed the Minimoog (his own synth) on the early U-vox songs "My way" and "Slip Away"?
5) that the kick drum, snare and hi-hat on U'vox' cues "Dislocation" were done on Billy Currie's Arp Odyssey with lots of fx added?
6) that the Minimoog is responsible for the bassline on "Quite Man"
7) that the Oberheim OB-X was used mainly for solos on U-vox album "Rage in Eden"?
8) that Billy Currie bought a Yamaha CS-80 in late 1979 and used it on songs like "Mr.X" (Vienna), "Western promise" (Vienna") "I Remember" (Rage In Eden), "Hymn" (Quartet)?
9) that U-vox' main string-machine between 1980-1984 was the Yamaha SS-30?
10) that the Yamaha GS-1 FM synthesizer was used for the solo in "Mine for life"?
11) that the EMS-Synthi was U-vox's very first synth back in early '77 or thereabouts?
-----------
Also see Midge Ure on the Minimoog used for the bassline in Viena.

Title link takes you to joerg-erren.de. Jorg posted a link to his site in this Curetronic post. I of course checked it out. He's got quite a bit of info up there including specific pages on Anywaree Instruments, Alesis, Diverse, Korg, MFB, Oberheim, Roland and Yamaha. You'll find some really nice gear shots and samples for each piece of gear. Very nice.
badl0ader
Remember the chameleon? Turns out it's badl0ader's. He sent me a link to his MySpace site where I found this video. It takes a lot of balls to fill up a cup like that. This one dedicated to Chris Randall of Analog Industries. Something tells me he will appreciate this one. ; )
BTW, do check out badl0ader's MySpace page. Cup aside, it's good synth pop.
Emperor Penguin @ Empty Bottle - New Flickr Shot
flick by spablab.Yep. So, what is that?
Update via the comments: "I am in that band... I'm the guy in the blue shirt in the background. our albums were done by me and the guitarist, Lazlo. When we played live we got extra help from some friends. Lots of synths on our records and onstage - Korg Polysix, Korg DW8000, Univox MiniKorg, Yahama SK20, Korg Delta, Moog Prodigy, etc. No samples used in the live show -- everything was played. The guy in the diaper was known as The ManBaby. He was an amazing beatboxer who for some reason liked to perform in a diaper. He was always a big hit with the audience. Wow, that was a fun band to play in.
- Mel Stanke, Emperor Penguin"
