But even if some people like to biased negative criticize the (musical) 80s every now and then, overlooked some of them smooth but the excellent melody, which was created at that time and, above all, the wily, tremendously complex technology which in this period was already available and used came (who here but had no idea of the matter, which was fast times referred to the barriers of the built-in "AMERICA / JAPAN boards"; here also nobody could simply fast times what cobble together via keyboard or mouse).
Apart from the production of a single song certainly has 5 times as long as today lasted because they had no direct access to monitor the audio tracks, parameter values, special effects, etc., but usually had to search in only very small, cluttered displays only awkward afterwards.
But anyway, so that was just in this decade! And who then already ears got cancer of this kind of music, no longer lives probably now today. :-)
But I want to primarily only times discreetly and very briefly that it surprised me a bit that no proffered review has so far dealt with the craft properly made song "Wild Horses" by Gino Vannelli (in both versions *; the shorter original Song was as far as I know in the studio recorded exactly as you hear him; the remix you then only tinkered with and extended slightly at the beginning and a few sound-patterns and the "real" harmonica (s) highlighted / added).
Rather, only the easily electronically tinged songs are but here usually favors. I find though partly also good, but a little to "acoustic" is indeed nothing wrong.
* The shorter radio / music version offers already through its solid-relaxed harmony and through their lightly-filigree floating southern flair (you simply imagine a ride on a highway before lying beside the wide-scale cotton fields - this mood conveys the song at least especially for me; however Vannelli is from Canada).
The song is mixed, in my opinion, skillfully Pop with finely metered Country- (guitar) and jazz elements (drums) and is therefore not typical of the so80s series. Internal highlight of the song is for me but from 5:30 min. the synthesizer bassline Passage (probably an imitation fretless bass sound), which runs as a single track in the short term and (almost) all other tracks are hidden temporarily.
A good example of how little you sometimes in the background hears through the final mixing of all individual tracks. We have also found that version 2 - probably rehearsed in real time - harmonica tracks added (in the shorter original there is in this respect only a short sequence).
As one can see, I prefer the song something before anyone else.
My other favorites are on:
Debbie Harry
Fleetwood Mac
Paul Hardcastle
The Cars
Tom Waite and some others.
