Members eminor9 Posted June 15, 2006 Members Share Posted June 15, 2006 It is easy to understand people's general opinion on eighties after viewing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Morandar Posted June 15, 2006 Members Share Posted June 15, 2006 Oh my. Herbie Hancock is definitely one of the (if not the one) greatest key players, but still he is also definitely an engineer. Nothing against engineers, but I think that his image would have been a lot better without his shirts and cheesy moves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Egens Posted June 15, 2006 Members Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hmm... what was so great about this? Rick Wakeman owns all of these rookies... (except the legendry stevie wonder of course... he's a dude... and he by the way, plays on the MOTIF 8..). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Diametro Posted June 15, 2006 Members Share Posted June 15, 2006 I thought it was fun ... my dream is to do something of a similar concept ...an electronic band with a huge sound ... lots of theatrics ... ... however, owing to the one-shot nature of the event and the superstar status of the performers (and they don't really seem to be working very hard or they must have rehearsed a lot), I doubt much of the music was performed live, which really nulls the point ... Yeah, the arrangements are a little on the wrong side of 1985 (meaning less Gary Numan and more, say ... oh I can't think of anyone right now) ... but I still like it ... BTW, wasn't this posted recently? ... tried to find the thread but couldn't ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was clearly a Synclavier II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wheresgrant3 Posted June 15, 2006 Members Share Posted June 15, 2006 After seeing this video floated around for a few months I woonder how much of the medley was live performance, and how much was pre-recorded and sequenced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheFoosa Posted June 15, 2006 Members Share Posted June 15, 2006 Originally posted by Yoozer Herbie Hancock a rookie? Ha, same reaction as me. Herbie is easily one of the top jazzers, dead or alive. When you're an indisposable part of such a legendary quintet of that local nobody known as Miles Davis, and have in your "played-with" list a group of names including Wayne Shorter, Michael Brecker, Jack DeJohnette, John Scofield, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones, Chick Corea, Freddie Hubbard, etc. then you're certainly no rookie. That's just his straight ahead jazz work too. Ever heard of a tune called Rockit? I think he probably made enough royalties off of that song alone where he could have retired upon release of the song, and put his great grandchildren through college. Oh yeah, Hohner Clavinet? We all dig that funky instrument right? Who pretty much defined its use when it was originally released? No rookie, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zarquin Posted June 16, 2006 Members Share Posted June 16, 2006 Originally posted by Yoozer You haven't been paying attention with that "What The Fuss" video. That was clearly a Synclavier II. yeah. I remeber seeing that video a few months ago, exactly the same time that i was really reaserching the synclavier, and what makes it go. It's got some unique approaches to digital audio... But it was a tad freaky, seeing it there on a modern song... i also have heard that prince plays guitar on that track, which wouldn't surprise me, as the guitar phrasing sounds like something that he'd do...
