"This is my recently acquired MFB Kraftzwerg (laptop) , i made this non destructive box mod in order that it fits into my studio config. Very nice synth, lots of fun experimenting with it."

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.

Orange Peel (Reuben Wilson) - Nord C1 Hammond B-3 Clonewheel Organ Clavia

YouTube via rounder2u. Nice bass.
"Here is my arrangement of 'Orange Peel'.
This organ funk song comes from the great organist Reuben Wilson's record 'Blue Mode', released in 1969.

The song is built upon a syncopated bassline keeping the groove in C at all times, and to that a 4 bar melody riff/melody phrase is added. The melody phrase is played by a saxophone on the original recording. I play the melody phrase chorded, first after the bass line intro, then after the first solo chorus and during the ending. The rest of the song is filled up with riffs of my own, and I will also take the blame for the repeated one note right hand Intro and the one note right hand Outro :-)

----------
