Members b3keys Posted August 19, 2007 Members Share Posted August 19, 2007 With all the excitement over the Prophet '08, I thought it would be cool to list songs which featured the Prophet 5. List your faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flat earth Posted August 19, 2007 Members Share Posted August 19, 2007 Well, you may as well include pretty much all of John Carpenters sound-tracks for most of his films. Prophet 5 all over them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Don Solaris Posted August 19, 2007 Members Share Posted August 19, 2007 Please Solaris... Haven't you destroyed and embarrassed this forum enough already? And now this? 1982 - Patrick Cowley composed and worked all his wonderful productions almost exclusively on his "PROPHET 5 polyphonic analog synthesizer" (five voices), 60 note keys , it created "fat" or "bass" sounds. Almost all marvels this man created in his mind were pumped out from his PROPHET 5. Patrick played his Robotic voices with a Paia Vocoder. And recorded everything on 8 channel tape recorder.

Members Peake Posted August 19, 2007 Members Share Posted August 19, 2007 Check recordings of David Sylvian's band Japan, and the side project "Worlds in a small room" by Jannsen/Barbeiri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members orangefunk Posted August 19, 2007 Members Share Posted August 19, 2007 PhD - I wont let you down I remember the keyboard player saying they wanted to use the Prophet 5 for every sound on the LP including the drums but I guess they didn't...

Members Pawnz Posted August 19, 2007 Members Share Posted August 19, 2007 Most of the synth work from Journey (both Gregg Rolie and Jonathan Cain) during the late-1970's to early-1980's was P5, although Mr. Rolie also used a Minimoog. I believe Journey's top-selling album ("Escape") was entirely P5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike Conway Posted August 19, 2007 Members Share Posted August 19, 2007 Well, you may as well include pretty much all of John Carpenters sound-tracks for most of his films. Yep! Also, you can hear the whole array of Prophet sounds, from watching one movie - CREEPSHOW. No other synths. The score was entirely created with a Prophet 5, A couple of Steinway pianos and a choir. It's cool to hear the Prophet carry the whole movie, like it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vwizz Posted August 19, 2007 Members Share Posted August 19, 2007 A lot of Tony Banks tunes for GENESIS The bass sequence of the end titles of Blade Runner (Prophet 10) by Vangelis And many many more... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tim gueguen Posted August 20, 2007 Members Share Posted August 20, 2007 Most of the Yellow Magic Orchestra catalogue, minus the debut album. Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi's YMO era solo albums. I think most of the synth on Dire Straits Love Over Gold album is P5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChasIII Posted August 20, 2007 Members Share Posted August 20, 2007 Anyone know if: Asia - Only Time Will Tell used the Prophet 5. The sound at the start of the song? I think the Prophet 5 was used on Pink Floyd's The Wall. The synth solo in Run Like Hell. Also, I'm not positive about INXS using it in Don't Change. I remember reading a Keyboard article and the keyboard player saying he used a Prophet 5 in that period. It does sound like one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to post that too ! I think this song shows very well where the Prophet excels other synths of its type ! ... one of my most favorite synth parts ever !

Members Peake Posted August 20, 2007 Members Share Posted August 20, 2007 Yaz/Yazoo. IIRC, even the drums are P5. This of course does not mean that the P'08 will sound just like that. Mook, I'm pretty sure that there was also some Voyetra 8 on Blue Monday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a thread on here somewhere where we also discussed the string machine, solina, dmx and emulator. Anyone else remember Sky (one well known track was a version of Toccata) - they used a Prophet 5 and Oberheim OB1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CTB Posted August 20, 2007 Members Share Posted August 20, 2007 I thought he was using a Pro~One actually... He was - not a Prophet 5. Gilwe is correct. Anything on Berlin's albums "Pleasure Victim" and "Love Life" will have lots of P5 on it, as well as Juno 60. I see Sir Banks was already mentioned, and of course Phil Collins' early solo work (Face, Hello, NJR) was full of P5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's virtually a demo for the Prophet 5. Great stuff! Micke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
