Sujet de la discussion Synthés dans la variété internationale dans les années 70 et 80.
Je fais un honteux copié-collé du post de Renaudg :

Citation de renaudg :
Salut,

Je me suis souvent demandé quels étaient les synthés de prédilection sur un certain nombre de tubes 80s en variété/synthpop internationale qui ont quelques riffs mémorables.

Toutes infos bienvenues :)


Alors on commence par celui-là.
Pro-one pour la basse et le synthé.
Pour le rythme j'entends divers sources : TR-808 + ARP 2600 ou TR-808 + Pro-one

Bon c'est confirmé, les deux DM sont en studio.

Vont-ils/ont-ils appelé Qui-il-faut???? Mystère...

Honnêtement, même si nous rêvons tous du retour d’Alan, je n’y crois pas trop.
Tous ceux qui connaissent la carrière du groupe savent que ce dernier ne s’entendait pas très bien avec Fletch. Avec sa disparition, peut être trouveront ils ça malvenu…
Bon celà dit, je ne croyais pas qu’ils retourneraient en studio, surtout si vite.
Donc, mon avis, hein…:clin:

Et une fois de plus, certains vont se plaindre que le sujet se transforme en "DM, leurs vies, leurs oeuvres, et le reste aussi ":clin:

Retranscription de la chronique de Speak And Spell (il ne semble pas avoir d’erreur) :
Speak and Spell
by Depeche Mode
Mute STUMMS
Speak and Spell is the first
Album from Depeche Mode, the
Synthi-pop band who already
have two hit singles under their belt
Although they’ve no been playing
synthesisers for long a certainly
doesn't show because the album has
a very clean and solid sound, partly
due, I’m sure, to Danel Miller's co-
production.
The album has eleven tracks on it
which all have the classic Depeche
Mode characteristics: synthesised
drums, bouncing sequencer patterns
and bright syrthesisers sounds which
drive the album along at a very
danceable pace. The two singles
"New Life and "Just Can'1 Get Enough'
start and finish the album respective-
ly and of the remaining nine tracks
‘Big Muff' (no comment) is my
personal fave. It is the only instru-
mental on the album and features
some very hypnotic sequencer pat
terns, plus terrific tom-tom and syn
drum sounds. It’s very well arranged
and is something I hope the band will
pursue in future. The songs are based
around a disco type best (except'Any
Second Now (Voices)' which is
haunting song featuring only har-
mony vocals and a very plaintive
synth backine) and some really nice
multitracked sequencer riffs which
create strong rhythmic structures.
The songs are quite simple but are
usually well arranged and extremely
listenable.
Equipment used (which is not
listed, incidentally) is quite modest
by today's standards. An ARP 2600
was used in conjunction with an ARP
analogue sequencer. The drum
sounds were generated using the
2600 for the bass drum, the rhythm
being provided by the sequencer
which also triggered a Korg KR55 for
the snare drum sound. I'm also
pleased to see that there is no
obnoxious synthesised hi-hat sound
on the album - I find the constars
"Tsss tsss tsss' so ably provided by
rhythm units thoroughty nauseating
The drum sounds on the album are of
an estremely high qualty throughout.
considerably better than it they had
used a rhythm box. There was some
talk of the band using a Movement
Drum Computer on the album. This is
a Nascom-based difital drum unit
similar in ways to the Linn, but un-
fortunately the sounds were (to quose
Daniel Miller) "a bit naff!" so it wasnt
used. Other synths used on the album
were a Moog Prodigy, a Yamaha CS5, a
Sequental Circuits Pro-One, a Roland
SH1 and Jupiter 4. It goes without
saying that various effects were used,
especially on the vocals (Boys Say
Go' features what appears so be a
wonderful reverse reverb effect on a
chant of the title) but the owerall use
of Synths and electronics is tasteful
and inteligent throughout.
The album doesnt have the lush
continental sound of Bocquet. Gross
kopf or Tangerine Dream, but that is
not necessarily a bad thing: Depeche
Mode have a style and sound of their
own which, for me, is streets ahead of
the doom-laden sound of Orchestral
Manoeuvres or the wimpy Soft-cell
My only reservation is the vocal line
which seems sighty characterless.
Nevertheless, an impressive debut
album,
Steve Howell

La chronique de l’album de Can, ‘Incandescence’.
Un peu plus d’erreurs de transcription que celle de S&S, mais ça se lit bien.

Incandescence
by Can
Virgin Records OVED 3
Your opinion of Can will vary
according to which of their
records you have heard. Always,
seemingly working on the fringes of
whatever ’type' of music they were
into at the time. their explorations
have run them through the gamut of
rock, heavy metal, disco and experi-
mental electronic music.
This album is a compilation of
tracks from their previous albums
and it runs the gamut quite suc-
cessfully. It is an amalgum rather
than a fusion of styles. My first
reaction was 'different: my second
was `interesting’ and all the time I
knew that I was liking what I was
hearing
Track one. I Want More' was a hit
single around 1976 but it has all the
ingredients of modern electro pop
music: a catchy tune and short
melodic rifts on the synthesiser
reminiscent of Orchestral Manoeuvres
although Can came firs:. It would de
interesting to see this re-released as a
single again.
`Full Moon on the Highway’
screeches into HM/rock mien over-
driven guilar and a rhythm pushing
out a solid four to the bar. Just as you
have worked out the style, severely
treased vocals push you into the
realm or experimental electro-rock
Heavy vocoders!
'Gomorrah’ (1973) was orignally
the theme trom a German TV series
An instrumental, lyrical in construc-
tion and electronic in nature. it Flows
and rings from beginning to end.
Synth, gutar and the lighter elemenes
of the drum kit phase trom one layer
Of sound of the next.
"Hunters and Collectors" could
possibly be described as rock. Drums
busy playing 16ths: the themes are
excursions into electronic sounds
and catchy riffs drift in and out of the
vocal.
‘The Empress and the Ukraine
King’ is one of the earliest tracks.from
1969. and begins in a funky mood
with a guitar riff which runs. almost
continuously, through the song. The
drums bongo in the background with
Latin accenes on the cymbals. Guitars
fills are sustained chords and a manic
saxophone falls in for the closing
bars. It sathers out like a dyng cat
taking the song with it
On side two. 'Mother Upduff', also
from 1969. plasters a violent. insis
tent rhythm track across the speakers
while a voice relates the sorry story of
Mother Upduff who is puled into the
Water by a giant octopus while on
holiday. wrapped in a tert. put on top
of a car which is subsequently stolen
and. one presumes. never heard from
again. Draw your own conclusions
‘Call Me' drifts in through a wall of
wind with guilar, synth and drums
forming atrocious combinations
which shouldn’t work but do. HM fils
on guitar, Tangerine Dream bass riffs,
layers of synth - all form a fascinat-
ing collage.
’Half Past One’ has a sightly
eastern flavour with fat organ/synth
notes bubbling up and down the scale
while acoustic guitar twangs add an
ethnic feel
’Laugh Till You Cry…Live Till You
Die' is reggae. The guilar. synth and
drums fill in the gaps the others leave.
The final track, E F.S. No. 36' is a
short blues for piano and sax (accord
ing to the cover notes) but the sax
sounds more like a trumbet. Il walls
and wahs throughout Quise tongue in
check. Play il again. Can.
The tracks are stylishly diverse but
similar elements of technique and
sound are evident throughout. None
of the tracks sound out of place and
the whole album is a total Iistening
experience

Je referai peut être celle de Simple Minds. Sur les deux dernières, j’ai édité l’image en ajoutant du contraste et de la netteté. L’algorithme s’en sort mieux ainsi.

Pour Alan, d'accord avec toi, mais on peut pas s'empecher d'en parler je crois...
Merci pour les 'pix to text", ça ne peux qu’intéresser les gens qui ne veulent pas s'esquinter les yeux donc oui si tu veux continuer, c'est un gros "voui monsieur".

Tiens j'ai une page sur Ultravox de janvier 83, toujours scannée d'un "E&MM".
Là la police est assez grosse, pas de soucis pour lire.
