Who knows this song??

28 Jun 2009, 17:30
Hi all,

today an old song came into my mind and I tried to remember its title and artist - but no chance, I don't remember. Maybe some of you could help??

It's a synthpop song which was popular about 1982 / 1983. There where 2 versions: an instrumental version and one with vocals.

I remember that I liked this song at that time because that time was the beginning of my "synth-aera" ;-) So I tried to reproduce it with my then used equipment.

Today, only a fragment of the song is in my mind: the intro of it.

So I reproduced it out of my mind with my F G6 (using the opportunity to learn more about the studio-mode whereas I only used live-mode till now) and you can hear the result by downloading the mp3 from here: http://simon-mh.de/roland/80s_song.mp3

As I said: I only remember the intro, therefore it stops immediately.

Please excuse that the track is not perfectly mixed and the sound-selection (especially drums) is not really fine, but I think it should be enough to get an idea of what I mean.

Also, the song may not be a "chart-breaker" from today's view, but the tune is linked with some "special memories" of that time... ;-)

Thanks in advance,

greetings from germany,

Pierre

Hmmm, I was listening to your mp3 but had no idea...
If you could remember at least a few seconds of how the lead vocal goes there would be a good chance to identify the song at Midomi.com

The one drum beat in there sounds like frankie goes to hollywood

it also sounds like a good song for a remix with some of todays technology

Sounds kind of familiar, but I can't identify it as well :(
BTW sounds amazing, you've gone a really good job!

Does anyone have that song recognition app for the iphone I've seen ads for? Maybe that would work.

Hi,
The Twins, that's the direction I thought, too. I should check their repertoire...

@EX: you're the man!!! That's it !! Love system by Thomson Twins! I had the Maxi (12") version which starts with a different intro. (Searching in Youtube brought this version : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUNt8UXCLDs )


Thanks to all for your replies!!

Greetings

Pierre, so you were able to retain the exact key of the original song in your head for 27 years yet you forgot its name and that of its artists? :) Funny how the mind works... glad you found your song.

Rafa.
