Hit's from the 80s : Recreated on Synthesizers : PART 2

[@pvkoinch]

This guy has whole 80s in his room.

[@ricomajestic]

His room is trapped in an 80s time warp kind of like Hot Tub Time Machine!

[@greatscott88mph]

Just missing a Galaga, pole position, and paperboy.

[@darienhigh]

Half of the magic is not just being able to play these analog babies, but knowing/finding the settings

[@JGG1701]

Back when music was music 🎶 🎵

[@KohanaCoyote]

Your Sirius was absolutely breath taking, especially the guitar solo emulation

[@fireblade2020]

💯💯💯💯

[@emanuelezamboni6782]

it's incredible.

[@razaroo500]

Area 51 sampled it to make the track let it move you. One of my favourite oldskool piano tracks

[@althejazzman]

I wasn't expecting that either! Even the Clavinet was so perfect it never occurred to me that's what it was on the original.

[@MeneTekelUpharsin]

[@sammckel]

10 minutes of iconic 80’s synth arrangements without a single DX7 or any FM digital sounds. Who would guess it was possible?

[@pihermoso11]

Yeah the DX7 and Roland D50 basically shaped the 80s keyboard sound, everybody used the DX7 and Enya used the D50 quite extensively.. I'm impressed by the EMU Emulator II, when it came out it was as expensive as a car, but that keyboard just produces a full luscious sound even modern gear will have a hard time replicating, floppy disks FTW, that keyboard was also featured in the movie 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'

[@sammckel]

@@pihermoso11 the only way to accurately play the Blue Danube waltz in sampled barf sounds.

[@Roundtablist]

The strings in Final Countdown. He's playing a DX7 Mk II.

[@sammckel]

@@Roundtablist doh, missed it 🙏

[@garyseymour6319]

Everyone? Sampling keyboards? DX7 Digital FM synthesis?

[@LFOVCF]

The world needs more Icehouse.

[@mikeforster8798]

Agreed!

[@MarceloSantosSCS]

Setting up all this equipment, playing with the same timbre and speed and matching all these hits identically takes time, dedication and a lot of practice. The guy is simply a MONSTER in this area. Thanks for sharing these moments with us, and not letting the aura and feeling of the 80s die.

[@meatpockets]

I hereby dub thee an honorary Lord of Synth

[@brian2k1]

your sounds are just spot on. I hope you will consider making a video or series on how you are either finding the settings or working through each synth settings to recreate them. it's incredible!

[@joshy283]

Agreed, a recreation series would be really awesome to see!

[@ramontella650]

Yeaah, recreating sounds would also be helpful to learn better synthesis

I graduated high school in 1989. Your music makes me want to go to my next class reunion.

[@anibng]

That's so cool. What was high school really like in the 80s? Was it similar to what they show in movies and TV?

[@caligirllala1267]

‘89 graduate here too! Life was so darn cool in the 80’s!!!!!

[@caligirllala1267]

Not as much as playing piano both hands

As a keyboarder who has always gotten flack for multiple keyboards, this was pure drool 🤤👏👏👏. Can't love this enough!

You are so talented, Luke. I could listen to you all day.

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thank you 🙏

[@BDTXIII]

These types of music should be existed in the futuristic year like....2024!

[@GareauRA]

When you're sitting on ten's of thousands of dollars in classic synths you do what Luke does. You play the S%#T out of them!

[@douglasgreen437]

Amen to that brother...

[@todordespotov8085]

These covers are great, but I have one question though why aren't you posting longer version of these covers?

[@darth_gamer6359]

You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round

[@keith3999]

After over 30 years of wondering what the song was I used to hear in the background of tv shows in the Uk in the 80’s/90’s I now know what is thanks to you’re video - Alan Parsons project. Many thanks

[@matthewdewitt884]

Really enjoyed that! Thank you 😊 long live the 80’s music

[@cribrebo7375]

Love that Emulator. Those were so expensive back in the mid 80's...

[@Guppusmaximus]

Alan Parsons is absolutely brilliant. He's like a perfect mixture of the Beach Boys and Pink floyd. His latest album is damn good.

[@Lovejazz01]

All those years of watching Micheal Jordan and all the NBA games and I never knew the song they would play all the time is “ Sirius”

[@kodor2]

"Safety Dance" sounds identical than original in extended version! That's amazing! Other songs sounds good too!

[@LiliaSammer78]

[@lucaswyatt]

My wife said that’s really some groovy music for today. I would have to agree.

[@WillyJunior]

Just for today?

[@rickleblanc8900]

These are classic 80's songs. Forever classic

[@Pricklyhedgehog72]

This was a delightful waltz down memory lane...and explains why I still love synths and synthwave music today...

[@PhilieBlunt666]

That opening of the buggles seriously gave me chills 😁 perfection my dude

[@danielost5252]

I'm picturing myself sitting in a comfortable chair in his studio holding a cold beer just hanging out and listen to all these fantastic songs beeing played by this amacingly talented man 😎👍💜!!!!

[@timburdsey]

The Buggles interpretation is exquisite. I was counting the seconds until the vocoder came in! Loving your work, @luke. 🙏🏻

[@yobtnirp3D]

To bad the oh-a-oh part wasn't there lol! Great job

[@mikelsikel73]

One more comment - love the guitar solo emulation on the Alan Parsons “Sirius” ! I just flipped over to listen to the “real thing” on Spotify - nice “Jan Hammer” type work on that solo with the use of the bend and mod wheels!

[@darkfog360]

Something about the synthwave era i enjoy alot. Gives a sense of nostalgic calming feel, even though i was born on 1990 still feel connected to this type of music

[@guitarcleveland]

I love these old instruments and old technology. You absolutely nailed all these songs. Fantastic job.

[@allanfada9830]

Now I know what 80's heaven looks like. Absolute joy hearing these timeless classics

[@parousiathelast9464]

That Multimoog is the workhorse throughout. Solid as a rock!

[@jonnybgoodsilver741]

they are totally underrated, compared to a mini multi has a more modern edgy charachter, more modulation possibilites but can deliver same bass duty as the mini, also you can get them for a 1/3 of the price of the mini

[@ronaldrebulanan7327]

Having grown up in 80's sounds especially new wave bands where most of their sounds done in synthesizer really bring back the time. Its still pleasant to listen.

[@lorencarlin2087]

Found this dude down a KZbin rabbit hole. He is just amazing! So are his many machines! He makes them sing!

I was in synth heaven listening to this, and appreciating all the music that was created with these fabulous instruments. 100% ear candy! The one that resonated most - Kate Bush’s Running up the hill. A stellar piece of work, on an album that still blows me away all these years later. Great job on this video!

[@Lenafox280]

❤это просто праздник какой-то❤ Благодарю, Музыкант

[@Mike-bi9uv]

I was all FUN! when I saw the video pop up

[@ciphermatrix]

So good to see how these tracks are layered, it's quite great to see that insight. Highlight of youtube at the moment for me when your videos drop.

[@garret_thorne]

so... much... woodgrain... ... I love it!

[@b.g.theprinceofrp.3906]

This is always relevant music, to which more than one generation will dance. As long as electronic music is alive, styles from the 80s will keep pace with electronic music.

[@Noycey64]

Great to hear Icehouse in your selection

[@nigelbeaumont1109]

Made me sad as now I’m 62 and so miss those fabulous days. Absolutely phenomenal job… Kate Bush’s rendition was 100%. Thanks.

[@paulychilds]

Great stuff - enjoyed all of those. The Kate Bush one was fascinating. Seeing it as a backing track it becomes apparent, once the intro is over, how much of that song's charm and power comes from Kate herself - it's very minimal, instrumentally speaking, on the verses.

Honestly, your versions are better than the originals in many cases! 🎉 thank you sir.

You are phenomenal, I wish I could play like you. Have thought for years about learning to play the piano so I could get a keyboard and start learning to play all the songs I love from the 80's, to which as far as i'm concerned was the best era for music. Watching your video's gave me the inspiration to go for it and have since started lessons. Thank you Luke for being the inspiration to get me started on my journey.
