That little synth that Ian’s playing and the sound of it accompanying everything else gives the song a Gary Numan vibe. This track is a real pure synthpop track and harkens back to its early days where lyrical content was dystopian and sci-fi, robot girlfriends in Tubeway Army, or Ballardian imagery in Daniel Miller’s Warm Leatherette.

Gary Numan for sure. Also early synths by Depeche Mode/Yazoo Vince Clark, some early OMD and of course, New Order. They have it all, with an outstanding melodic creativity. NOL are awesome.

Mad props to the sound engineer/mix of this. Fantastic!!!

Eurythmics, New Order, Operators. All excellent influences.

Depche Mode? (at least older songs, at least partially). A-HA? Electro Spectre? Or did you mean someone as in someone from younger generation?

He didn't skip any notes, the original song is like that... what I really think is that he touched Aidan's ass and that's why she reacts surprised 😅

Yeah because that is the only New Wave band that existed back in the day right? I went to see a nu-metal band last week. I suppose they found a few Linkin Park vinyls?

@@mrblablablablato get that bassline sounding that tight and you’d expect her to look a lot more focussed while playing. It’s basically perfect in terms of timing and note length while the drums are playing. I think it’s actually 3 bass sounds layered on top throughout the majority of the song: the bass guitar, the fat synth bass and a sparkly bass sound that is very low in the mix. She’s probably playing only playing the quiet synth throughout the majority of the song. So it’s probably also not fully miming what she’s doing. Not that it’s very important of course, but it’s always interesting to sniff out which parts are live or prerecorded I think.

@@llRoBoBinHoll many synths have built in arpeggiators / sequencers. They could also be looping live. I’d still call that playing. Doesn’t matter so much anyway, as long as people are having a good time…
