As i can hear there are real many erasure sounds in the last ,some of the closest mayby is Cirkus and Ship of fools , When i needed you ,actually funny he went around wiht 3 albums even erasure wasent even started eyt :-) ruclips.net/video/8Sr28DCk-7s/видео.html
His approach to sampling was quite unique - using the samples to actually capture the nuances of each strings tone and harmonic differences, then using each sample as a “string” - brilliant. Makes sense since he was originally a guitar player. Most folks were just using library as a simple playback machine or drum machine. His pushed the realism that one could achieve if thinking differently - especially with the limited audio quality of the IIx.
I bet he locked himself away for months experimenting on this. groundbreaking instrument, even if it was 'crunchy' sounding. now ironically, we have incredibly clean sample rates, but buy virtual instruments to emulate this old sampler. some just love the gritty sound
Crunchy 8 bit samples - brings back memories. You really had to work hard to avoid the aliasing and quantization noise with the early samplers. Around the 2:50 mark it sounds pretty clean, if not high-fidelity by today's standards. And in 1984 you got change back from your $150,000...
i loved this recording back in 1984 ... played it over and over! in retrospective I now love the digital 'aliasing' that you can prominently hear on the sustained guitar samples at 0:48 plus. I have all 12 sound maker tapes .... this is my fav. part! thx for posting.
Anyone know if the part starting at 6:21 ever became a full song?

Nice find! Thanks for sharing. I've always enjoyed Vince Clark's style. The man is a synth-genius :)
Good quality, I have the original tape somewhere! .probably left it in the loft with my mk1 cmi 😂.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this same Fairlight was used on ‘The Peter Pan Effect’ by Robert Marlow
Have you got any more of this?
i swear i've heard it before somewhere

TY for posting this Fairlight video with Vince Clarke. The Fairlight was the very first DAW, made in Australia!

Sadly not - what you hear is how it was recorded on the original magazine cassette.
Pure nostalgia! :) :) :) I'm 18 again!
Thanks , really enjoyed listening to it.
Thanks for the upload. The rhythm track he creates is ace.
Think I still have the tape this was on?
