@@TheIndustrialRetrospective im from 1977 , imagine a child in early 80s listening this ? ( and watching star wars ) ! , no Personal computer no smartphone but electronic futurist music ! i remember was so fear with tracks like "space lab" from Kraftwerk or another "somebody's watchin me" from Rockwell and , for sure "midnight express" from mister giorgio !
That guy with curly blond hair is the young Harold Faltermeyer, who started working with Moroder and later wrote movie themes like Axel F., Fletch, Top Gun Anthem. Legends on this video!
That equipment must have been super expensive. And when you consider how limited the capabilities of computers back then were I find it absolutely astounding how it was possible to produce high quality electronic music back then.
well honestly pc synth had to come along way to match any analog yet if you kick it with mog and 808 plus some tape recording machine you are golden and doing same with pc will lack the soul it will sound robotic unless heavily procces it and i do mean heavily many people that had success in 90s or 20s come to think about it even nowadays just sampled sounds from those old machines and only then it sounded good and still you cant have a good master withouth some tape saturator in the end mix so those machines were capable of alot of things honestly the sad part is that it still cost arm and a leg to get them and they still beat PC in my humble opinion :DDD
when i've heard "i feel love" for the first time in 1977 , i got hooked on electronic music forever "From here to eternity"in my top 5 albums of all times ! Trance...from 1977. Awesome !
Fun fact: "Take My Breath Away" (for the movie Top Gun soundtrack), co-written and produced by Giorgio Moroder, became their best-selling single in 1986 and a huge international hit, but also their last big hit. The more you know.
So we put a click on the 24-track Which then was synced to the Moog modular I knew that could be a sound of the future But I didn't realize how much the impact would be
I remember him from back in the day when this music was new and groundbreaking. He worked with many groundbreaking artists paving the way for Today's music unfortunately taken for granted by those who don't remember or care.
This must be in his own Studio called "Musicland Studios" in Munich / Germany. The guy behind the mixing console looks like Reinhold Mack. The studio was well booked in the 70s and bands like Deep Purple, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin & Sweet recorded albums there.

@@em.1633 Was as in he's currently retired and hasn't put anything out in a long time. You do understand that "was" is just a past tense verb and has many meanings besides implying someone is no longer alive.
@@WeRNthisToGetHer not retired. He was touring in 2019 and had dates through 2021, but these were stopped due to the pandemic. Tickets are on hold. He’s a phenomenon.
@@WeRNthisToGetHer "He was an awesome musician" most certainly implies the person is no longer alive. That's how language works. When communicating, you should contemplate what meaning your audience will read in your words. And before you claim that someone is retired, you should check whether someone is really retired. Moroder is still active, including putting out collaborations in recent years. And even if he were retired, it would be entirely presumptuous to assume he is no longer a good musician. In all possible senses, your use of the past tense was out of place here.
Мне было 15 лет, когда я услышал альбом E=MC2, это был 1980 год. С тех пор так его и слушаю, и слушаю и слушаю. И нисколько не надоедает. Пожалуй, это лучший альбом Giorgio!
Впервые услышал Baby Blue весной 1984, на гибкой прозрачной пластинке (такие миньоны выпускала фирма Мелодия) - гонял её всю весну, тренируясь собирать Кубик Рубика. Великолепная композиция, каждый раз слушая её я просто переношусь в те замечательные годы, равных которым уже не будет никогда в моей оставшейся жизне...
It's very good to learn electronic with sound ^^ for exemple make a simple sound generator with a transistor , severals of them with others transistors and you have a primitive synthesizer home made ! trust me ^^ im from 1977 , electrician at work but also DJ and electronic lover from childhood ^^
This was after he had a HUGE hit with Donna Summer (I Feel Love). The Donna Summer was made with a Moog modular system that was already in the studio. Eberhard Schoener was in the studio the night before and actually came up with that famous bass sequence (it's on his record) but then left it sitting overnight. So Giorgio and Harald used it the next session for their record!
Musicians like him simply don’t want to perform live because they are music producers. You cannot simply play this type of music live. You have to spend hours to produce this kind of music on the studio. That’s why he says it’s a nightmare to do it live.
It was a nightmare back in those days because sequencers would get off and out of sync, be temperamental and hard to rely on back then. Things are different today with electronics and music and DAWs.
@@apollozero Exactly - I remember punching in sequenced ARPs as the tuning drifted even during a 3 minute take! If you listen to the full track of "I Feel Love" the timing goes seriously adrift every so often & you can hear the punch in when they decided enough was enough.
The difference now is all that hardware he was trying to bring together can now be done on one OS or sequencer Most of the hardware from then is now emulated very well with VST and various other EFX or filters.
You can not convince me this is not an adult swim Lords of Synth side-video. I'm sorry, but this is just too absolutely perfect in every single aspect.
There is - it was recorded in this studio with the engineer in this video, Reinhold Mack. As was the rest of the Discovery album and Out of the Blue too. So the vocoder parts Jeff Lynne recorded on Horace Wimp will almost certainly have been performed with the vocoder setup Giorgio is using here.
Holding you so tightly in my dreams. I see your eyes, I feel your lips, I feel the magic your love gives. Endless hours tantalised. I hear them waiting for the time when suddenly you’ll be back home again. Baby blue Baby blue Baby blue Baby blue.
On "New Star in the Sky" they also mention Baby Blue; in typical English language one says the adjective then the noun (a blue baby). But in 1966, Bob Dylan wrote "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" and made it more poetic. So the tradition continues on!
It was a combination of pioneers. Giorgio was the first to use the vocoder in electronic music, and Alan Parsons of the Alan Parsons Project was the first to use the vocoder in a rock song.
Why are so many Italian men THAT handsome??? Moroder was a real looker & that accent is to d** for. Can't tell you how many times I've seen someone really handsome like Moroder and found out they were Italian and chuckled and thought, "Of course he is Italian. Why didn't I immediately figure he was?"
This mindset is totally unhelpful and just hinders musical exploration and innovation. Computer electronic music is just as valid and not any less "real" than this.
@@briankehew579 no they did not. The guys in Japan were messing around with drum machines sequencers and synths around the same time as moroder and kraftwerk.,.. this is not controversial.
If you like this kind of sound then check out the 1979 album by Sparks, Number 1 In Heaven, produced by Giorgio and featuring Keith Forsey (seen in this clip) on drums.
Yo hice una hace 5 años y La use en discotecas y la gente decía que brutal. Pero un Dj con mucho equipo como Dead Mause pudiera hacer una nueva versiön así como la versiön moderna de Clouser de la película Clouse And Counters
* Can you believe this record cost, in the 6 weeks it was made $ 15,000 per day? * The voices ARE NOT WOMEN: The voices are Giorgio and Pete Bellote using a "referenter tone" connected to Sennheizer vocoders and keyboards? * Harold Faltermeier took over with Giorgio from 25 keyboards in the studio? * The study and the equipment of the engineer, Juerguen Koppers, were sold to collectors? * The digital compression used on the disk, in 1979, was only 56K? And it was the first digital record on history.
Interesting they use some kind of CV/digitally controlled actuators on the Rhodes to automate playing the keys from the MC8. Must have been a first... not seen anything like that since to be honest (maybe closest would be Yamaha's Disklavier)...
It’s a Marantz Pianocorder. Freestanding device that uses solenoids to push the keys of any piano it’s placed in front of, and controlled by data frames recorded on a standard cassette tape that runs at twice normal speed… Giorgio just put his on a Rhodes instead. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Be25N75FaI.html
