Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now - First Reggae to Feature a Moog


YouTube via keithmintage
"Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now
Up and ticking again."

This one came in via Mikael Lindgren on the AH list: "This Johnny Nash song from 1972 is probably the first ever Reggea-influenced hit to feature the Moog modular synthesizer!?"

I never noticed it before. Listen to the end of the track for the filter sweeps.

Update via Mikael: "Yes, the rhythm brass chords were multi-tracked on a Moog modular (the one at Air Studios, UK). Fracis Monkman (Curved Air, SKY etc.) confimed this for me recenltly. Apparently it took an age to build up the synth parts. Francis also played the bass guitar on that song. It might have been George Martin's old Moog system but Francis wasn't sure."

"Roland RS 505 , the ultimate analogue string synthesizer .
Separate bass , synth section and of course strings give you a much wider palette of sound from which to create some wonderfully thick and rich classic analog sounds and very big bass sound!
Comes with the fantastic sounding roland ensemble effect (stereo output) based on roland's dimension D chorus rack. External input enables you to plug in any instrument and use this great effect."

Finding the right euro rack filter for my rhythm


YouTube via RothHandle
"This film was made at Roth Händle studios. This is where I spend a lort of my days and nights recording and producing bands artist and with a bit of luck...music. I started out as a drummer in bands. Some of them were quite sucessful, in different ways. Other bands rehearsed a lot. Now I have a studio with weird and odd objects that either make or break sound. If you are curious to read about this studio please visit www.roth-handle.nu It is a fun packed site with rivetting articles about synthesizers and prog rock fashion."
