Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Your first abiding memory of synth music ?

Gee, thanks Garry. Now I got that sound stuck in my head :rolleyes:

Love Action/Seconds by the Human Leage was one of my first 7" singles, around the same time I was discovering Doctor Who and Oxygene.

That would make it 1981.

My dad also had a record of Moog music called Electric Coconut, which included a version of Popcorn. It terrified me. He also had the Hot Butter album. That terrified me too. To this day I detest that song!!

I didn't discover Gary Numan or John's (Ultravox!) music until 1995...

... & once again the great marsheaux have made the best cover version that is possible - imho , of course ! ;-) - of that song ! :-)

now i'm eagerly awaiting to finally hear their cover version of o.m.d.'s "she's leaving" , which they've already played live !

ditto like most 'Popcorn' and BBC Radiophonic Workshop stuff (cf. Tomorrow People etc.). My first 'synth' single was a thing called Pepperbox by The Peppers (?..must look it up) . .then JMJ (oddly Equinoxe not Oxygene), then various TOTP jaw-dropping moments starting with, yes, Tubeway Army then G Numan 'Cars', onto OMD Messages, Human League Rock n Roll then Sound ot' Crowd..and so on and so on .. ah yes, then there was John Foxx ...

Heh! 'Popcorn' was brilliant! As kid I used to love that! I can't understand how anyone can find that irritatng! My mum said I also used to sing 'Nice One Cyril' around that time too - that explains a lot!

I don't remember them at the time as I was too young but 'Son of My Father' as mentioned elsewhere here, and 'Magic Fly' are some other great cheesy 70s moog moments...

The theme from Tomorrow's World in the early 80s was fantastic too.

Bew bew bew bew b' bew... pssssshhhhhhhwwwwww....

:rolleyes: Time heals nothing. It merely rearranges our memory.

And before anyone picks it up, I know Numan HIMSELF wasn't dressed in the attire described in the lyric posted above

Wasn't it the old black shirt and white tie? or was that "Cars"?

I ought to know! *shame*

Sorry can't remember that one Alex...how does it go again?

What song is that from.

I dont want to be 'mr know it all' on this one, but to clear it up (maybe ) There was three TOTP performances. First was with black jeans/trousers and a black top with thin white stipes stitched into it, second i cant remember at the moment. But by the time they were at number 1, he wore the 'replicas' outfit complete with red and black jacket.
