bubinga5 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) One of my favourite bands of all time. The UK's finest at one point in time. Loose Ends made some rubbish imo, but when Carl Mcintosh and his band did it right, they really did it right. I adore soul music and music like this reassures me. Hangin on a String i think is a masterpiece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz1kvk9qeWI Edited January 1, 2017 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpondonBassed Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Ahhh. The 808 "dink". I have to say that that was one of the most annoying sounds of the eighties for me. It is the only thing I didn't like about the 808. It doesn't spoil the song however, thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It sounds like a wannabe drummer plucking on the old style ring pull, still attached, of an empty drinks can. It was on lots of singles at the time and along with the glockenspiel like quality of Yamaha's DX7, it is a sound I am happy to leave in the past. [shudders] I'd look for a sample for you only I loathe how it sounds. Funny innit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpondonBassed Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The GTA track list is a good 'un. I often found myself playing GTA just for the tunes. The chatter on the spoof radio stations was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterT Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Blimey, some 808 haters... or is that h808rs. Dink must mean cowbell - unmistakeable. Each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Erm, I never said I hated the TR808. I just don't like the dink or cowbellish sound because it was overused at the time. Joy Division/New Order were the model our band was moulded to. The 303 and the 808 therefore are okay by me. The 606 however, is a bit crappy but I own one anyway. I am [i]not[/i] down with the kids. Sorry. I never will be. "hater" that's not meant to be as harsh as it comes across is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterT Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Not harsh at all, Spondon - sorry, didn't mean to come across as a tw@ - I'm not You have a 606 - that was my first foray into drum machines, had the bag and all. If only I'd kept the blummin thing! Owning a 606 I always wanted an 808 - more toys and better kick / snare. Now I'm loving the 606's ride cymbal and beefed up a bit the kick and snare come alive. New Order's Confusion - now here we have Arthur Baker in command. He hired a guy with an 808 to do Afrika Bambaata's Planet Rock + various others and then did Confusion. Totally with you on that, ra-ta-taah-ta-ta-ta-taah-hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
