I knew you'd mention Sweet Dreams... have to say it, not a Juno. It was a combination of SH-101 and OB-X. There's an article in the July 2018 issue of Sound on Sound where Dave Stewart outline the studio process for that album. A good example of a Juno-60 album is Enya's first eponymous album release (aka The Celts), which uses one throughout.
I always had the idea that Eurythmics used the Juno-60 but you are right, I just found an interview on Sound On Sound in which Dave Stewart mentioned that the SH-09 and Juno 60 were acquired for the second album "Touch". It was fun to recreate the track on the Juno-60 though and thanks for watching!
I think he may have used a Juno 6 on the album just not that song. I don’t think the Juno 60 was out yet by the time they were finished recording. I believe he upgraded to a Juno 60 after the LP came out.
The funny part is that you might be right, I could not confirm either in the album, interviews, or other places about the Juno-60 being used for Don't You Want Me, but never came to my mind to check the year of release. But I also think the Juno-60 did a great job and then Human League used it heavily on other songs. Thanks!
@@NostalgicExplorer Wait now, both on the LP and the CD (and the latter SACD) it clearly states all the synths, drum machines and sequencers The Human League used on the album "DARE!". End of story. It's a Jupiter-4 used on that album and absolutely not a JUNO-60. That you claim that @100DollarHeadache _might_ be right is weak. He/She IS totally correct. Stop making things up and we all are happy, ready for your next videos to be enjoyed. ;-) Subbed to your channel... 🙂
I got to try out both the Juno 6 and the Juno 60 when they were new - my friend had bought of them - but they never inspired me as much as the JX3P and Korg's Poly-800. I just couldn't get excited about the Junos, at the time. Could this be due their single-DCO setup, and reliance on the chorus? Maybe. I have an Alpha-Juno 2, though - and I bought it just for the "Hoover" sound!
@@d4r0xx0r I mean, you know when a synth hooks you from the beginning, if you don't vibe with it then it is not worth having. That happened to me with a Korg Poly 61.
@@act_musicI don't know in Netherlands, but here in the US there are plenty, maybe paying for shipping will not be that much if.you find a good deal. Good luck with your findings.
I believe each of them has its particular strengths and weaknesses. The Juno 6 lacks MIDI, CV, and patch memory for storing settings, but it has a really nice arpeggiator. The Juno 60 introduces patch memory, which is a game-changer, but still lacks MIDI. Personally, I love the sound of this one. The Juno 106, on the other hand, offers double the patch memory compared to the Juno 60, includes MIDI, and has a much less noisy chorus. I love the fatness of its sound.
The Juno 60 was heavily used by Howard Jones for pads. One of his favourite synths apart from the Jupiter 8.
Love both synths! And some amazing songs by Howard Jones. I personally love "Things can only get better". Thanks for watching Peter!

I got a Juno-60, bought it in 1996 for approximately 250 dollar. And I still have it and it will never get sold again. 😊
Never sell it! Keep enjoying it!
Because it sounds so much better than the 106!
I like the 106 but there is something about this one in particular that I love. Both great synths.
"Don't You Want Me" predated the Juno-60 - that one was heavy on Jupiter-4.
