The bass line on All Stood Still blew my mind completely when I was 8 years old. It still gets me excited to this very day. My synth obsession is out of control!
@@Anthony-dv4ww Looks great. I'm sure you'll make great sounds with that microphone as it appears to be of high quality. The main thing I think is enjoy making music. An old friend taught me it's all about the mixdown and arrangement after the song writing and quality of the performance. Hope you're having fun!
@@jamessisson3703 thank you for your kind words my new key board will blow your mind it has A rich sound to it just press the a and should lead you ro tune sunrise and sunney and other that makes me newultravox(caretaker charge) enjoy👽😎😊
'Errr ya not being a keyboard player!" Midge CAN play keys well enough to filling many chords on stage I;ve seen him do it and guitar and sing and write songs. He is WAY more talented than he even thinks!
Really? He was lead singer of Ultravox. Numan was the breakthrough for synth bands and he wasn't synth master either. Clarke, Gore,Wilder,Currie,Dolby,Payne, Jones, JJ,Held.....these people pissed on Ure from a great height.
He says he’s not the band keyboard player, but what he did there that off the cuff playing was totally expert. This is a very interesting video. Thanks, thumbs up!
Brilliant thanks for posting this, I can remember this lot when they came out ....... I want an Oscar ! ......(The synth not the crappy gold trophy) ! Nice one.
midge lived in the greatest era for synth technology and used them musically , every follup up synth was merely a variation of what came out those days
@@stumpland28436:40 Looks like a PPG on top of a CS80 on top of maybe a piano to me. The other video the making of had a CS80 on it and there was a Prophet hiding underneath the PPG. Maybe a Ptophet T8?
Though I agree with you, I recall that Billy wasn't into doing interviews much. To his credit, Midge was quite knowledgeable with regards to synths, though it would be far more fascinating to hear Billy talk about his Odyssey, Elka and also the later synths he used such as the PPG and the OSCar .
Have a look at the gforce software interviews with Billy (they're fairly recent). He is very honest in his opinions of classic keyboards back in the day.
Usual frontman stuff that Midge even addressed in his memoir (highly recommended reading!) - the journos only wanted to talk to the one who sings. They probably didn't even know the names of other band members.
You should check out Midge’s audio book. He programmed, engineered and promoted their use in the band. He’s well qualified to speak about them in interview.
As a German I am not very familiar with the various English dialects, but could it be that the Scottish dialect is very similar to the Liverpool dialect (it reminds me a lot of the dialect of Beatle's interviews when Midge is talking)?
There are also many dialects in Scotland, but I think it's the influence of Ireland that affects the accents of the cities on the West coast, in Scotland and England.
‘When does it all end Midge?’ When the global technocrats manipulate a global health crisis - and too many buy nto the scam. Life will never be the same again.
maybe in this video, but you should listen to early works by The Fixx, Patrick O'Hearn, Rush's "Grace Under Pressure". I love my PPG Wave 2.2 - there's nothing else that sounds like it.
@@zibbybone Thomas Dolby "The Golden Age Of Wireless" is the poster child of its sound... First time I heard "Windpower". Fk ME! I let go of My PPG, But the sound lives on with a Microwave 1. A PPG in a rack.
