Excellent video and cover! It was amazing to see the EMS VCS3, Pitch to Voltage, Random Voltage Generator etc in the background during the Linn section, I used to own all four of those units in their cricklewood cabinets, but sadly sold them in 1991.

Sooooo goooooood!!! Fantastic job folks!

Nice finished track! The singing isn't too bad either! I'd love to see what you could do with just the Yamaha PSS A50 with this song. Now THAT would be a fricken challenge!

Love this shit

Amazing video!

For a great deal of the finished product, I couldn't believe I wasn't listening to the original. This is an amazing, faithful recreation of one of the greatest synthpop songs of all time. Great job!!

This is just beyond epic!

WOW! WOW! WOW!!!! I just can't believe what I've just watched. Like watching an Academy Award winning movie!!!! Brings me such great happiness. THANK YOU!!!! ❤❤❤

Fantastic video! Well done!

Best hour spent! Thanks Alex!

This is so good.

Outstanding ! Super vocals too. I thought I knew this track well but really had no idea how many different and creative parts made up the whole. Many thanks, Alex. Love your channel.

Wow that was really good! Whatever difference could just be tape compression and a few EQ changes. Listening to the original and I see about the 'mistake' in timing and the clam chord but it also sounds kind of like they edited down from a longer version with another verse or something.

What a classic. Syncing the two instruments seemed like a scientific problem for the ages. Well done.

Heard this song in the grocery store this morning 😄

Absolutely STUNNING REMAKE-- Additionally , I heard the producers RE PROGRAMMED this sone from it's original darker goth version and did it over night. When the band came in next morning they HATED it... not sure if it's true. But if so, they did all the re programming in 20+ hours..

This is an impressive body of work. I stumbled upon this probably due to my interest in retrowave. Excellent work by everyone involved and the history behind it was awesome!!! kick rockin 💯

Synths is a sci-fi term for synthetic people. Just sayin.

Hi Alex it is brilliant OK wow! can you please look at Duran Duran and Planet Earth with what Colin Thurston added! and maybe the Rio album as well because Colin gets forgotten about with what he added to the 80's scene. I seem to remember at the time he had the Roland system 100 wow personally I want the same system used by Richard Barbieri with the Roland System 700 very rare! lol Maybe you should mentioned about system 700 and Japan songs seeing as people want know about what we did way back in the 70s and 80's, I will say for record that I will buying a Behringer LM, personally I think this company should be given a chance! I actually think the best innovative item right now in 2025 is the Behringer LM! The BX1 which is a DX1 with CS80 filters wow I can't wait for this item...

Bravo man! This was super fun to watch. So guud

BRILLIANT!!!D

Bravo!

Excellent! It was so fun to see the breakdown.

Needs more eyeliner! Well done on the video. It makes me a bit sad that I sold my LM-1 a couple of years ago.

Muito bom Alex, talvez em algum video se pudesse mostrar os synthesizers de Tragedy dos Bee Gees

I only understand 2% of what you did here. But I was glued to my pc screen, and the end result made me cry a bit.

I think this is my favourite video you've done so far Alex. The setup and payoff are on a new level.

Wow wasn't expecting it to be quite this complicated,, awesome, always loved HL, love them even more now,, we should have vids like this for all 80s music, ill defo watch them being synths r me fav instrument, thanks 4 this 😊

In few Words! Wonderful!!...nice work,good voices!...you are a master synthesizer!❤ Greetings from Chile!

Thank you so much for making this video. I enjoyed all of it so much because I know how hard it is to produce in this inimitable and convoluted way! It's painstaking, slow, frustrating, and rewarding!! I found this out first hand when I made an album using only the basic sequencer on Roland's Fantom x8 synth 😮‍💨😰🤣 I became aware very early on that work arounds for the limitations of the gear were going to reveal creative processes themselves! I ended up recording drums, guitar tracks, synth tracks, fx tracks, etc. as separate songs and re-sampling them to free up the 50+ tracks required to mix them together. It's a nightmare! You seem to know your stuff very well and you are well seasoned! There is much work in this video. I love it. You just don't get this kind of content on TV. Because it's not something that could ever be streamlined! It's a labour of love. Well I must congratulate you on a total banger here. I have a small request however that I don't expect be to heeded due to it's obscure nature! There's a track that has always had me desperate to find out how the blasted thing was made. It's called "Summer with Marty". Give it a listen.. it's right up your street! Ha ha! Thanks again!

Incredible remake.. perfect vocals too. I think also what’s interesting that I’ve heard the song so much I can still detect very subtle differences, they don’t detract though. (Strings might need a bit less phasing and lowered in the mix?). Must have been incredible to have the wing units and 9 oscillators back in the 70s.

Absolutely brilliant!!!!!

I love the synth sounds of the late 70s and 80s. Human League was a iconic synth band. I don't know why with all the modern technology the music is not that good. Maybe I am partial, and it was a very special time in music history.

Awesome, all over the synth and beat programming but the voice is what makes this, Man versus Machine [and a bit of woman]. Great voice dude!

I got as far as the first "Don't... don't you want me?" before I started singing along. Had to go back and listen to it properly when I was less excited. Damn, that was great! Thank you so much. I used to play along with the original on my Odyssey, which could get fairly close on the bass lines and the duo brass stabs, so it was a joy to see how it was actually done. First time I've come across the channel but I'll be back. And well done both of you nailing those vocals! Happy days!

Track please :-) - Makes me feel like I'm in my twenties again.

Brilliant, this is what the internet was made for!!!

Loved this video! I think you got about 97% there. I think the 16th note pattern is very slightly different, and a couple other small differences.

Well done... Amazing ✨

Alex thank you so much for doing this! This was the first song I ever danced to with my future wife. It must have been 1982 or us. After some ups and downs, we married in 1991 and have been married for 33+ years. This song remains a keystone beyond music for us for 40+ years.

Crying. As a kid whose sophomore HS year was marked by the introduction of MIDI, I appreciate this!

It for sure grooves and I bet you had a lot of fun. Especially after assembling the pieces and singing on top.

This was great fun to watch, all the work that was put into this ❤❤❤❤

Hi Alex, great video!

Um, wow. Had no idea this was how that gem was made. I thought they had some seriously tight keybored players lol

This was so much fun to watch. Being a huge Prince fan, I'd love to see you tackle one of his pieces. Maybe 1999 era?

excellent video ! :)

Wow! I hear a lot of people trying to recreate iconic songs and failing but this is pretty much perfect. The icing on the cake is the both of you singing, amazing!

really good cover ! and using all the original gear. i always thought a jp8 was in there but that one i guess came later on.

Very nice.
