[@thhedk]

@@jvg3tube Ahh cool. Thanks man! Great to hear from you, I have loved this song since start 90's and always been fascinated by all the synth parts. It's funny to see the comments people saying they never thought there was so many parts in it :) The main theme I know is a sample from the old 80's track, slowed down and pitched somehow i'm not really sure how you did it. But am I right the most of the rest is Korg M1 and DX7/TX81 ?

0:17 Finally finally finally. SOMEONE put the most important vocal part, which is also my BIG FAVORITE, ❤❤at the beginning of the music. So far I have watched all such videos, but no one was willing to include this voice, which is also the ICONIC part of the ORIGINAL song. Huge respect for you my friend.👌👌👍👍👌👌

It's not really a vocal part, it's a string sound in one of the 12" or 6" ;) But thanks! :)

[@thhedk]

Thank you so much! :)

[@JamesFroumis]

@@thhedk I can only imagine how much time, energy, and research went into making this cover and video, so I wanted you to know that whatever amount it was, it was worth it. One of the best covers I've seen/heard on KZbin. I saw your other video about how the original sample was made (very cool BTW), but it seemed like you mentioned not using it for your cover. What did you actually use? I'm assuming that you were able to find and tweak a synth patch to come very close...? It's also pretty sweet that you actually got a response from a member of SNAP too. Nice! This song represents what I consider the "golden age" of dance music while I was in high school in Southern California. Back when it was normal to play dance music on the radio during the day before it got relegated to a short segment at 2am. There was lots of good stuff out at the time, but this was and still is my favorite.

[@rafamuratt_]

Wow, a real masterpiece here, thank you so much!!!

[@alexg9155]

This is absolutely amazing! Pretty much as close as you can get to the original, I can see you put a lot of time, effort and passion into this, incredible really. I would ask you to do more work like this, but I understand it would be really demanding. Still, thank you for this masterpiece.

[@thhedk]

Thanks. My ears are not well anymore, so I have to go very slow on new projects
