Axel F : Theme From Beverly Hills Cop : Recreated on Vintage Synthesizers

[@olfreal]

We need more full versions! This is totally amazing! Almost no difference between this and the original!!!

[@jeffreypaterson72]

Correct!

[@-The-Darkside]

I love Harold Faltermeyer. This, bad guys, tango and cash, running man, Fletch 1 and 2 , thief of hearts, loads more. He was in many ways subconsciously the sound of the 80s.

[@lukemillionmusic]

He is fantastic! He certainly crafted his own unique sound and helped make those movies iconic. And he did so much other studio work like programming synths for Giorgio Moroder 😁

[@-The-Darkside]

​@@lukemillionmusiche did. He did an interview on here a few years back, it's great if you haven't seen it. Sponsored by Red Bull or something

[@sheepdavis]

Top gun

[@jokerfleckcast3196]

​@@lukemillionmusicharold f is the GOAT

[@gandalf0987]

Truth!

[@ironmaskdj]

every sound of this song is perfect: the lead, the bass, kick, percussions and so on... wonderful and wonderfully played. Thank you

[@astrodax2753]

The music is iconic. The cover is brilliant. And seeing all this vintage hardware in such great condition is a joy bonus.

[@JunktionJack]

Why this song is timeless it’s own 80’s cheesy way but yet can’t stop listening to it we’ll never know.

[@andrzej3472]

Pure 80's 🤩🤩 perfect sound, perfect re-creation. Thank you 🫡

[@pmberry]

40 years old and still sounds fresh! Thanks a million, Luke!

[@NYyazoofan]

That bass line...❤‍🔥

[@pichincho7]

The best 3 minutes of today for me. Thank You!

[@thedoc1210]

that bass tone is lovely

[@herbertdorfmeister6756]

One Masterpice from Harold Faltermayer. ❤

[@ChantalM3]

He also did the theme to Top Gun!

[@christianchall8169]

Harold Faltermeyer is the man of the 80´s soundtrack...unique piece of music...and you man, chapeau....great sound and great skills...and also the synth collection....jealousy x10

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thank you Christian 🙏

[@positronalpha]

Holy hell, what an amazing reproduction. Beautiful playing and _perfect_ instrumentation.

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thank you 🙏

[@FrankieWildeDJ]

Good work! I watched the latest incarnation of BHC last night. Was happily surprised to see the original theme still being used, well loosely used. This was the first tune I learnt to play on keyboard in 1984, probably like many of us watching this who are also old!

[@TheOriginalCoda]

They've remade it? 😖😠

[@FrankieWildeDJ]

@@TheOriginalCoda Yep, I watched it for the nostalgia but you know how it goes with these films. It’s all been done before and it still didn’t have that magic the first one did in 1984.

[@mrnk7911]

I loved the new movie

[@nomlaskire8870]

we're NOT old, we are VINTAGE... 😊😅😂

[@DrJohnnyFever.]

Luke Million has about a million dollars of vintage synths.

[@infn8loopmusic]

You might be missing a digit somewhere 🤔 I always imagine this is stored in some hidden luxury home underground bunker made from an old missile silo. And actually I know a guy that builds those so, it could be a thing

[@stanvanillo9831]

easily 10 million

[@Xlr8ive]

Just getting started

[@michaelbytner9346]

How many vintage synths have 50 Cents?

[@Veldoril]

Waiting for Duke Billion to arrive.

[@davidefuzzati8249]

and again, you nailed it! BRAVO Luke!!!

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thank you so much!

[@scottmccloud4231]

Bravissimo!👏👏👏👏 You nailed the patches too! Sounds PHAT!!!!

[@JasonRasmussen]

This was the song that made me fall in love with electronic music. The first time I heard it on the radio I knew I was forever changed and keep seeking out these vibrant electronic sounds scapes.

[@lukemillionmusic]

Harold Faltermeyer is a genius and a lot of people probably don’t realise what he contributed to electronic music. His film scores were epic and then there’s the work he did with Giorgio Moroder and Pet Shop Boys for example. He’s a huge inspiration to me!

[@AllexUK]

Fantastic cover Luke, and very like the original. Great work! 🎼🎹

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thanks Alex. I tried to make it close to the original but with a few embellishments 😊

[@CocktailFridays]

Welp it's the best thing I've seen on youtube today. Masterpiece.

[@peterbense5650]

Thanks for finally doing a full length one!

[@MoneyMattSlots]

If hearing this doesn't make you feel good NOTHING will. VERY well done as always!

[@stephaneneron]

Hats off for this master reproduction. Thanks Luke! The force is strong with you!

[@jmer3536]

Sounds exactly like the original! thanks

[@ryanulinski3]

This deeply accurate to the original. Never change Luke!

[@RobertMartensFly]

Perfect recreation. Back there in time it was hard for me to play it without multitrack recording equipment. Much easier today.

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

Perfect right? Screw the synths. Great playing. The chord stabs especially,

[@stevedj101]

Fantastic. Can't tell the difference from the original.

[@Mark-ec3lp]

Great as always. I have a JX-3P and it was used for the parts where you used the Jupiter 4, this was really close sounding.

[@BassFunMusic]

LOVE ♥♥♪♪♪

[@PawelZawiejaTwoboys]

BRO

[@grupatropic]

GREAT ☺♦ song

[@sylwiaitomekofficial]

[@EDEEB7]

Wow! Perfection!!!!! Thank you for doing this! 80s forever!

[@jokerfleckcast3196]

🎉the linndrum is on point, exact. Reverb too.

[@francois-ericlebretonramia1642]

Very to hear this music played on vintage synthesizers thank you Mister.

[@mopar3502001]

That was awesome, Luke! I loved it!

[@paolorusso9077]

Memories... very good memories. Superb rendition! 👍🏻

[@enchantress7940]

Absolutely brilliant note for note

[@ytb917]

this equipment is in good hands. this guy knows how to get all the sounds.

[@Reuben-ny3]

This groove just feels great! Nicely done!

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thank you 🙏

[@straightjacketspaceman9223]

SPECTACULAR!!!! Seriously well done, you really nailed the sounds and performance!

[@MikeHarrisHazchem77]

Absolutely flawless

[@drumeo_mike_b]

Sounds fantastic - perfect recreation - nicely done!

[@wumi8027]

This is so accurate

[@K.Reimann]

Nice Job, Luke. I like it a LOT !

[@adamharris7775]

In this song, the Yamaha DX7 steel drums patch was heard.

[@manuelignaciogalafeherrera5585]

and Marimbas ;)

[@mima85]

Spot on! But knowing the quality of your videos, I wasn't expecting else :-)

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thanks! 😃

[@viniguazzelli807]

PERFECT!!! Awesome job, man! Just became your fan

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thank you 🙏 😊

[@gigixflstudio7437]

You are amazing as always and your multimoog too!!!

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thank you so much!!

[@stevepeterson5943]

Bravo! And it's joyful music, soundtrack of my teen years : ) You did awesome, was waiting for the handclaps, perfect!

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thank you. It’s one of those songs that I’m sure everyone has a memory of even if they haven’t seen the films?

[@adjoho1]

That bass is spot on!

[@MikeKobb]

Hahaha, excellent! As soon as I saw those two DX7s set up that way, I *knew* you were going to split-screen it. Loved this whole thing. As always, that Moog sounds fantastic.

[@lukemillionmusic]

I’ve always wanted to do a split screen and this just begged for it 😅

[@TheRutefly]

Remember that Axel F. demo came on the C64. Blew everyones mind. LOL

[@LFOVCF]

Bloody nailed it!

[@mrnk7911]

This is absolutely awesome

[@Transit_Biker]

Now i gotta watch the movies again. Nicely done.

[@naoentrenomeucanal82]

amazing, just in time the new Beverly Hills Cop was released!

[@moby1017]

The sound on these technics is crazy🙌🙌

[@orchestralcinematiceducation]

Great stuff. The sounds are really close and using the actual 80s synths rather than plug-ins (and associated in the box EQ'ing, etc.) is a real achievement. Looking forward to more covers like this!

[@ArrakeenHD]

Nice! It made me want to see the movie again, good job

[@dale3852]

Very good and so close. Pat in the back. 🇬🇧

[@AxelsoftMusic]

*... awesome job, Axel approves!!* 👍😎 Thx for sharing Luke. Best Regards, Axel.

[@pauliusvidugiris5152]

Great sound! I really enjoyed it!

[@BorderlandVideo]

You are the Synth God. Absolutely excellent 👌

[@johnkowall7558]

Great job , I got to learn this one on the Synth ! 😊

[@warpigroadkill]

Nokia phones and the Crazyfrog have killed this tune for me as that's all I can hear. I used to love this lick. However, great recreation video. 🥳

[@Supermunch2000]

It's like I'm back in the 80's, which happened just 20 years ago. Right, 20 years. Right? 😢

[@skylilly1]

Unfortunately, no! 😂 well at least we have a few minutes to pretend we are back there with this cool rendition 👍🤩

[@positronalpha]

In our hearts, it was yesterday.

[@infn8loopmusic]

Yassss I'm here for it! Thanks Luke! This is great!

[@infn8loopmusic]

I bet this gets a million hits in the next week, easily

[@Musik_Arbeiter]

Sounds spot on! Great job Luke! 😄🎧🎶

[@sammymccormack_]

Will be bumping this all weekend 🔥🔥

[@studio.synthe]

simply great : thks Luke

[@JamieFurlong]

I had just about every iteration of this on 12" vinyl and tape. I was a big fan of electro and this was such a great electro pop crossover. Anyway, my point is your version is almost indistinguishable from the original, and that's a good thing. Bravo, thanks for the nostalgia trip.

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thank you. I wanted to stay close to the original because it is a masterpiece. But I did take some liberties using different synths and making the parts a little cleaner 😁

[@keris6991]

Spot on...!!!

[@tafadzwatagurwa6332]

Very talented. Still good in 2024.

[@pronzac]

Often we must search among movie's soundtracks to found something of really beautiful

[@sP33DyEdOld]

Aaah so perfect ❤❤❤ playing myself years but never did a full 💪🏻🥳🥳

[@lukemillionmusic]

Thanks Luka 🙏

[@jochenreich683]

Fantastisch!👌👏✌️thx luke🙏🎹🎹🎵🎶🥳😍

[@brian2k1]

another song suggestion Rhythm of the Night - DeBarge. I heard it earlier today and I think it is all synth.

[@TheOriginalCoda]

If I ever get bored of synths (and we all do occasionally, right?), I just listen to some of the classics by Faltermayer or maybe spin up some Vangelis or Jarre, and the world seems alright again.

[@lukemillionmusic]

They are such great composers!

[@baryler]

Nice rendition. There are a lot of new versions of this piece, in the new Axel F movie. I hope there will be some complete versions on the soundtrack.

[@framax67]

Just perfect 👌

[@marcinnowak777]

Great job. Greetings from Poland.

Buenísimo ❤Felicidades

[@magnuswarburg4398]

Sound of the 80s😎❤️

[@inforobob]

Well done sir!

[@fubarsweeklund2141]

Great performed. This reminds me of my best friend watching the Beverly Hills Cop movie and got caught up in the music, he dashed of to the music store to by 12" and came home to me with the records, theme was great but from there it went downhill, he remember that the other cool music was performed by a group with the name Sisters in it, I was a little skeptical looking at the cover, playing the record gave me a laugh. He had not bought the Pointer Sisters "Neutron Dance" but Twisted Sisters (don't remember what record), he was furious and I was laughing, hahahaha.

[@ZRJZZZZZ]

This video brings back great memories of the movie. Synthesizers and drum machines were definitely overused in the 80s, and put a lot of excellent musicians out of work.

[@SkyQuest2K8]

This is even better than the original! Thx!

[@helisoma]

this is remarkable 🤩👍🏻

[@stoneyboyd]

WELL DONE.

[@RationalistRebel]

It's insane how old soundtracks are instantly recognizable and can take you back to a specific time and place. Movie soundtracks nowadays are largely forgettable. Once you get past a few styles for particular genres, almost nothing stands out anymore. It's also crazy how even modern hardware can't get a pitch-perfect recreation of retro synths. There's just something about them that's hard to replicate.

[@frederickvondinkerberg7721]

"And then another heh-heh heh-heh heh"

[@revvolutions]

0:50 my favorite part too

[@sarahbgln]

I will always hear Peter Griffin singing that whenever I hear this song haha
