Have you seen what Man Parish looks like😂

Well, honestly, I don’t remember hearing that song until AFTER I put my song out so it’s more of a coincidence than an inspiration. I wonder if Vince Clarke has a social media page and we can ask him? But I wasn’t that involved in “commercial“ music at that time I was more into New York underground Bands, and doing film scores and ambient electronic music. It wasn’t until I entered the “Market“ that I was aware of a lot of other songs. Definitely not inspiration from my part. Maybe we were both tuning into the same thing in the universe… I don’t know lol. Thanks for asking! Great question.

Hey Richard… Did you also know that that was me and Raul doing “in the bottle”? It’s a covert cartoon but the group COD was me and Raul. So basically on that tape I had two songs! Enjoy! And thanks for the kind words.

@@manparrishstories WTF? WHYYYYYYYYYYYY didn't I know this? Why didn't I do my research! Mr. Parrish! I adore you. This is incredible! I also just learned that you made this awesome soundtrack under the monicker Forbidden Overture. Man! I HAVE to buy your book.

@@manparrishstoriesis there any chance you know the track to these lyrics from 84ish I always thought it was a track called the Boogie Man The lyrics went To all you people listening out there who always wanted to dance but didn’t dare get out of your seat and onto your feet and dance to the rhythm of this crazy beat. There’s no need to be shy there’s no need to fear every body be cool because the Boogie man is here Then we are going to rock this style from the bottom to the top with my own special brand of hip hop

@@15081972able actually I don’t. I probably know the record by hearing it but not by title. There was so much good music out then…. I love that stuff is like 40+ years ago lol. That was fun!

Actually, if I recall Steve strange may have happened after regardless… Did you know that I was the last person to work with Steve strange and visage? Check out man Parrish and Steve strange “she’s electric” remix.

@@manparrishstories oh I got reply from the Man himself 🤩 just checked remix , love it

Hey Mark… Thank you for getting that incredible sound that still stands up to today’s high-end digital productions. Starting it on my attract tape recorder at home and bring it to you at Vanguard Studios, treated it with a respect it deserves. Anyway, it was great that we didn’t have tons about gear because the sound stay very fresh and clean and pure. Hold up today as it did back then. Thank God for your great equalization,care for audio levels and mixing skills. You of course, are also part of the success of this record and I thank you!❤❤❤❤

Testament to the production of it, still sounds fresh 40 plus years on
