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 :-)

Queen Bohemian Rhapsody Old School Computer Remix

Also see Funkytown!
via bd594:
"I want to thankyou for commenting on one of my You Tube Videos "Funkytown" your blog was instrumental. Please note I created another Video that I think your readers may enjoy. I think you will find the use of HP Scanjet scanner as the vocals as WOW. Intially I tried to get 4 scanners for each vocal track in Bohemain Rhapsody but this equipment is getting harder to find. I had to record the HP scanner four seperate times to represent each vocal track. I hope you enjoy and thank you for your kind words."
video description
"There are millions of computers sitting idle at home using fantom electricity. Let's see where all that power is going. This is dedicated to all fans of Queen and hey let's not forget about Mike Myers and Dana Carvey of Wayne's World.
Please note no effects or sampling was used. What you see is what you hear (does that even make sense?)
Atari 800XL was used for the lead piano/organ sound
Texas Instruments TI-99/4a as lead guitar
8 Inch Floppy Disk as Bass
3.5 inch Harddrive as the cymbal
HP ScanJet 3C was used for all vocals. Please note I had to record the HP scanner 4 seperate times for each voice. I tried to buy 4 HP scanners but for some reason sellers on E-Bay expect you to pay $80-$100, I got mine for $30.
To quote Ben Rogerson "The old computer parts version of Bohemian Rhapsody is surely only weeks away".
Yes, I agree but what was suppose to take weeks took me months"
Apocalypse Meow
"Apocalypse Meow, second release of talented sound designer/idm artistLuca Capozzi, features eight tracks of exciting electronic music. Here's a
brief description of tracks:
01 - Intro
The analog warmth of a Doepfer and a Moog Voyager travels together the
shiny frequencies of a digital Nord Modular G2X introducing you through
this electronic journey.
02 - Ka'tun IV
The power of genetic polyrhythmed drums with a taste of acid basslines.
The harshness of resonant filters used as solo instrument.
03 - The Prophecy
Dive yourself straight to the action with this soundtrack-style song.
Acoustic orchestration and fat basslines are melted together. A rocking
keyboard solo to fight the monster.
04 - Midnight Fog
Modeled dissonations, filter sweeps as melodic lines. Not for untrained ears.
05 - ZO-ology
An easy-to-listen electronic song.
06 - Back to A
How to play a radio transmission and enjoy your favorite soccer team.
07 - Ostreococcus OsV5
How a virus DNA will sound? Here it is. Bassline, distant echoed guitars
and swinging percussions are all generated by a virus genome. Reaktor is
the cure.
08 - Lame Walk
A jazzy walking bass meets a crazy automated breakbeat.
Gear used for Apocalypse Meow: Doepfer A-100, Moog Voyager, Clavia Nord
Modular G2X, Metasonix TX-1, Roland TR-606, Native Instruments Reaktor 5,
